My Little Model

As you may know, I have been in a hair clip making world lately. I've also been learning to crochet and have proudly made Ryland a few hats. I have a little shop online for selling these items, and Ryland is my little model. She loves to play with all the hair clips I make, as if they are little toys. I can assure you that in the near future she will be making her own hair clips. If you want to check out my site go here: www.etsy.com/shop/peteypiefarms

This is what I am lucky to wake up to every morning. Such a sweet, special face.

Monster Eyes!

My last blog post featured a picture of Ryland's so called "Monster Eyes". Well, here is a video of what I am talking about. She has a cookie monster stuffed toy with big silly eyes on it. Champ started trying to imitate it's crazy eyes one day, and ever since then, "monster eyes" has been a part of our daily activities. So funny!

This face is what Ryland calls "monster eyes".

Goofy side ponytail girl

Playing with her friend Kairi...they are funny together

Snow

We woke up this morning to snow falling. You can't really see much snow in the pictures, but huge flakes were falling from the sky. Ryland was ALL smiles. Such a great morning suprise!

Lipstick Lady

Well, Ryland found mama's lipstick, and did a pretty good job of putting it on :)

On a side note, Ryland is getting close to sentences, and it seems like every day she wakes with a 100 new words in her vocabulary. The other day she looked at me and said "probably, that means?", and I said "what does probably mean?" and she said "talk about it". Apparently she wanted me to tell her what probably means, and I just wasn't sure how to define the word to a 20 month old. I also asked he what she wanted to do for Valentine's day and she said...ballet (she is definitely my daughter).

No More Monkey's Jumping on the Bed!

Ryland is expanding her vocabulary and library of songs! Enjoy :)

Drawing Machine

Well, I knew this day would come, eventually, and here it is! Ryland is in love with drawing. Yesterday, I'm pretty sure she spent the majority of her day scribbling on paper. When she's not drawing herself, she is usually asking one of us to draw something for her...her requests can be quite funny: "scarecrow Claus", "Da da Claus", "TiVo", "draw Michael" (as in Michael Jackson), and so on. I would say her favorite thing to have drawn is a snowman. Turns out she is going to be just like me in the drawing department. That was what I spent most of my time doing, and I'm happy to know she likes it too!

Outside Time!

Thankfully this week has been dry, and Ryland and I actually got to get outside and play. It was pretty chilly out there, but we had a blast. Ryland even went down a slide practically by herself. It's nice because the slides at our apartment park have two right next to each other, so I was able to go on one and her on the other. I'm sure you can tell from these pictures that she was having an excellent time!

Ryland, Ryland What Will You Be?

Look at that goofy face. Comedian in the making.

Carrying the guitar over to Dad...musician in the making

Look at that long hair! Shampoo commercial actress in the making!

....and just look at how happy she is in the "car" shopping cart at the store...driver in the making (but thankfully, not for 14 more years).
