Cheese With Your Whine?

Great Day
Sometimes my sweet girl really does get to me...in a good way. Like tonight. She has learned her name - Ry-wee. It's precious. She's also saying Uncle, for her uncle Chris. I usually refer to myself as 'mama', but tonight I asked her to say 'mommy'. Her reply was 'mee-moo'. Huh? Every time it was the same. It's strange how kids process things and then repeat them. Like Josh says 'memaw' for 'grammy', and Mia says 'Bessie' for 'Katherine'. I seriously think sometimes that Katherine is her great-grandma Bessie reincarnated and Mia somehow knows that. Anyway, nice to meet you. I'm Mee-Moo.
I love Rylee's school. Those ladies have made this process as absolutely easy as it possibly could have been. Tonight I got a sweet not from Ms. Tenia about Rylee. She assured me that she really is doing well, that she's smart and that they are enjoying having her there. She also gave me her cell phone number so that if I ever have any questions about Rylee's day I can call her anytime. Talk about above and beyond. Today they made kangaroos on popsicle sticks. You know I'm keeping all that stuff. She made a polar bear the other day.
I'm just honestly amazed by how much easier this has been - a week down the line - than I had imagined. I know Rylee is happy there. I love my new job. I'm not stressed anymore and I can completely give myself to Rylee when I'm home. It's awesome.
I thought I'd share a few of my favorite pics. I know the top one isn't great of either of us, but I like it. It's one of the few we actually have. Tomorrow that sweet girl turns 15 months and we're going to take nursing pictures. I can't wait.
This one is one of her while we were at the Aquarium back in June. She was by the huge tank with the manatees. Those things are HUGE!Aren't these two just crazy? Rylee loves a bath and when Conan is taking one and she's anywhere around, she's going to try to jump in. I thought Katie did a good job getting both of them.
