Happy birthday (on Tuesday), Rilynn!
 |
| The birthday girl! |
Our baby girl is ONE! Travis and I have 14 years of memories together, but this year was extra special. It is hard to remember life before Ri. And who knew babies changed so much in a year. I thought that tiny baby would never let me sleep through the night, and now here we are, a year later, and she sleeps like her parents, and already wants to be the boss.
Firsts:
Plane ride 2 months
Laughed out loud 4 months
Food 4 months
Rolled over 4 months
Sat alone 5 months
Teeth 6 months
Slept through the night 8 months
Clapped her hands 8 months
Waved 9 months

Rilynn can... crawl all over, pull herself up, starting to cruise on furniture, wave, clap her hands, blow a kiss, show how big she is by reaching her hands up, say: mom, dada, hi, ya, no, doddy (doggy)
Rilynn loves... hair, snuggling with mommy and daddy in the morning, bath time, trying to stand by herself (but can’t), playing with her friends, being chased, feeding her dog, playing in her tunnel, music and dancing, talking in her alien language, and being out and about.
Nicknames: Ri, Ri-Ri, Ri-ster Roni, Ri-ster Roo, Ri-Girl, Moochka, Turkey
Stats: 21 pounds 14 ounces, 80th percentile
31.25 inches, 98th percentile (clearly doesn’t take after her mom’s height)
head circumference 18 inches, 70th percentile
Personality: Our stubborn little Ri-Girl knows what she wants and throws quite the tantrum if she thinks you don’t understand her. But she knows how to make up for it by melting your heart with that gap toothed smile. She loves anything with a beat and has better rhythm than any 1 year old I’ve ever met. She will be a dancer... or maybe a drummer?
