Brithday weekend

Ryland had a fun filled weekend.  Saturday was her birthday party at our house.  She really loved having all her friends and family over to celebrate.  She was smiling the whole day.  Then, on Sunday, her best friend Aviley had her 1st birthday party.  Ryland kept saying "Aviley is the birthday girl, and so am I!".  The girl's birthdays are only 13 days apart...just like there momma's birthdays.  I can forsee many years of back to back celebrations.  It's strange she is getting older, but so much fun.

Three!

Ryland has had a very big week. Turning 3 is a big deal around here. It took her about half a day to get used to the idea (she seemed to really like being 2 1/2), but now she seems pretty excited about the whole thing. On her actual birthday, we took her putt putt golfing, which she really seemed to enjoy. And today we had her birthday party which involved a few of her friends, food and a piñata! Ryland wasnt able to break it open, but sure loved trying to! Silly girl.

Learning New Things

The other day Ryland insisted that she learn how to Summersault. Not sure where she got the idea from, but she was very determined. After a few tries on her own, she became very upset and was crying "I don't know how to do it".

So, I got out some pillows, and within minutes she was summersaulting all by herself :) she was so happy to have learned something new.
