Rylee flies for free right now. She did really well flying on the airplane. she kept herself busy pushing buttons, raising the window sleeve, and eating snacks.
Today was a Cape Day. We flew around the house for a while and saved the world. Rylee wanted to wear my cape, but when it was too big for her Janna made her a small cape and clipped it together with a hair clip - Rylee loves it.
Baton Rouge city center is barren on the weekends. From left to right: Laurie & Calyn, Dad, Mom, Aaron, Craig, Jeni, and Brian. Laurie was smart, she held baby Calyn the whole time and avoided getting dragged into the water. Mom on the other hand, had no protection.
Look at the smile on that face. This kid loves water, no question about it.
Janna and the girls had their own lane and had a great time. Lauren actually got a strike.
I suppose I should have stopped her instead of taking a picture. At the age of 1 there is plenty of time for manners later. Note the "Warning" label on the chair pad. . . nice touch.
This was Uncle Brent's idea. We had some great laughs at these fountains in the city center of Baton Rouge. These fountains burst at random intervals and ascended to random heights.
Janna, Lauren & Rylee took a nice cool dip in Toledo Bend reservoir. It was a hot day.
Fathers day was a lot of fun, I don't remember why but all three of us were wearing bandana's at one point. Rylee wasn't too sure of the idea, although she thought it was pretty funny at first.
Rylee's favorite meal: Waffles and syrup. This is a kings meal to her and she demands to sit in the "Big Chair" and eat with a "Big Fork."
Not sure how she does it, but without help Rylee can get yogurt and ravioli anywhere.
"The Tunnel." The girls have this 6 foot fabric tunnel that is the source of more fun than almost anything else. Dad doesn't fit in it very well but, it's fun to try and hide in it during hide & seek. It also works supremely well as a secret entrance into the fort that we sometimes build in the living room corner.
The slip & slide comes out about every other day. Rylee just can't understand why it's not "her turn" every time. Sharing is still a very difficult concept, but she's learning.
Lauren just completed her second year of swimming lessons. As you can see she is more distracted by the other opportunities that are outside of class than she is in the class itself. She is a regular fish and prefers swimming over any other activity at all.
