Happy New Year!

So I realized in my Christmas post I said I'd leave some pictures from the last month..but I only posted a couple from Christmas day! So this post is basically to say, Happy New Year and to share some additional pictures! As a side note - for the new year I really am going to try to get better at consistently blogging as Ryleigh is now entering that stage in life where she seems to be growing so fast (I know that pretty much continues forever!) and learning new things daily. Right now she is trying to figure out how Kyle and I make weird noises at her with our mouth - so she's been sucking on that bottom lip trying to imitate the sound! The only other big thing going on with her is some bad sleeping habits. We were so lucky to have such a good sleeper from such a young age - however, that has all changed. We are hoping this is just a phase, but Ryleigh has started to not want to sleep in her crib. We are having a hard time putting her down either awake or asleep already without her waking up screaming. If we do manage to get her down, she will usually awake in the middle of the night crying and we have found the only way to stop the crying and still get some sleep is to sleep in the rocker or on the couch! So...it's been a little rough at nights in our house! It wouldn't be quite as bad if I was still on maternity leave and could rest during the day...but alas, I'm not and I still have to get up for work everyday! So for all you moms out there...I'm definitely up for hearing and advice/suggestions if you've got any on how to remedy our situation! That's all I've got now...hope you enjoy the pictures!

Ryleigh found Daddy's Wii remote which was apparently a lot more fun than the blue elephant!
