Wordless Wednesday (on Thursday) & a Video

Catching up & 2011

Well the holidays have left me behind on my blogging once again, but that is OK, because I was too busy enjoying time with my family, yummy food, and lots of time relaxing. For Christmas Day we woke up and opened presents from Santa. Raylee didn't really get it, but she has been enjoying her new toys. Then we went to my Aunt Susan's house in Lake Charles for food and fun. The day after Christmas we headed to Houston to celebrate with My Mom, Gary & all their kids at my step-sister Ambers' beautiful house. After that, we headed to my Dad's house to spend time with him & Lenora. Overall it was a great Christmas!

Paul, Raylee & I

I finally got Raylee's picture with Santa scanned so here it is.

Then for New Years we hung out with some of Paul's family, and played card games. Raylee stayed up 'til midnight and we all slept in late the next day. I will leave with some pictures that I haven't been blogging, but that I thought were pretty cute. Hope everyone had great holidays, and that 2011 brings lots of happiness. Have a great day!

10 Months & Other Stuff

Yesterday, Raylee was 10 months old! These have been the best and fastest ten months of my life, which I figured out is 318 months! Here is some stuff that Raylee is up to at 10 months:'

- Sleeps through the night every night. Gets up for a bottle at 6ish then sleeps for 2-3 more hours.
-Takes either 2 1 hour naps or a long 2-3 hour nap in the middle of the day
-Standing up by herself for up to a minute, can walk all over the living room holding onto the furniture.
-Crawls ALL over the place, and getting pretty fast. She also loves to crawl into small spaces.
-Can wave "Hi" & "Bye" & say both.
-Can say Mama, Dada, Hey, Baba(bottle), Nigh Nigh(night night),
-Drinks from a sippy cup with a straw. She was not really a fan of the other kind.
-Likes the little Cheetos like snacks that disintegrate
-Has her two teeth on bottom, two front teeth, and is getting both teeth on either side of those.
-Finally started taking baths in the big bath tub.
-Loves playing with the laundry basket, reading books, or just generally being silly :)

Here is a picture of the 10 month old

Last week we went and got her picture taken with Santa, and I LOVE the way the picture turned out. This week I am hoping to get it scanned so I can put it on here. We also got a package this week from my Grandma&Grandpa & Raylee's GG's Glen & Gwen.  Thank You!

Little Texan Cheerleader

  Even though the Texans have had a rough season, we are proud of Paul, who made it to the championship in his fantasy football league. He worked really hard, and are looking forward to cheering him on the next two weeks. We are trying to finish up a few last things for Christmas around here. I am looking forward to enjoying some time with people that I care about. Hope everyone is having a great day, and check back tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday!

Slacking

To start off, I have to say I'm sorry for not posting. When I started this blog I wanted it to have regular postings, because I always want my favorite blogs to have new posts. I could list all the excuses, like being sick for 6 days straight, or that I couldn't find the camera cord (it was in my purse, duh!), or that Paul has taken over the computer for fantasy football. Instead,  I will just skip to some pictures of what Raylee has been up to.

She has been smiling of course

Cheering for the Texans

         Playing with her toys

And standing up by herself!

She started standing up by herself for up to 30 seconds at a time. She will hold onto my legs and stand up, or push something while walking behind it. It won't be long until those first steps. I have a 10 month post in the works, and check back tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday. Until then, hope your having a great day!
