New Years Eve

Duane wanted Rylan to see the fireworks for New Year's Eve, so Grammy came over to our house to help out with Rylan. She got RSV the day after Christmas. She seemed to be doing better and really loved the fireworks. I thought she would be scared, because she freaks out over the vacuum cleaner. She absolutely loved it. Duane got some small "baby" fireworks, but she didn't care about those. She wanted to see the big, loud ones that go in the sky. When Duane tried to take a break, she would yell "DaDa" and then look up in the sky and make a noise that sounded like "zoooom". Later that night, when she went inside with Grammy she kept doing that over and over. I guess she was trying to tell us how much she loved it.




Here is a quick video that got some of what she was doing.

The Pavlock's Crazy Christmas

We went over to Grammy & Pops for Christmas Day. We had a great time celebrating with family.
Rylan with her Godmother, Kellie

Rylan with her cousins, Amy & Shelby
We have a tradition every year we take a crazy picture. Maybe next year Rylan will be ready to make a silly face. I just die laughing when I look back at these over the years. Check out Duane. I told him to "make-out" with Minnie. LMAO!!!
Here's a great picture of the girls. (Cousin Shannon, Godmother/Cousin Kellie)
For entertainment, we had Pops on the guitar. He gave Rylan her first lesson. She is so amazed when she hears him play. She stops playing her toys and just watches him. Maybe she will become a rockstar. Let's hope she doesn't get Mommy's singing voice. HAHA!


For your viewing pleasure, I have attached a video.

Christmas Morning

When Rylan woke up Christmas Morning, we showed her all the toys that Santa had left for her. Here she is checking out her gifts.






Check out her riding in her new car.

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with Grammy & Pops.
Can you imagine her at 16 on the phone? Daddy's in trouble.
Pops gave Rylan $100 for her college fund.

Uncle Jimmy is teaching Rylan how to play the guitar.
Look at all these toys. Good thing Grammy is keeping them at her house.

Rylan with Grammy and Pops. She likes to give slobbery kisses and hugs all the time.

Helping Mommy wrap presents

We had just a few more gifts to wrap, so Rylan decided she wanted to help.

And here is the best gift of all.

Bowling for babies

Monday night, Duane's brother, BJ and his family asked us if we wanted to go bowling. Rylan was amazed at the entire game. She sat in her stroller snacking on puffs while she watched everyone play. It was very cold outside, so here are some pics of us.

Rylan's Christmas Present

I just can't wait for Rylan to open her presents. I asked Duane if we could let her open one of her presents tonight. If I knew she was going to have so much fun, I would have got it on video. I let her open a bath toy. It's a little boat with animals inside. She loved it so much. She was so excited for me to take it out of the package. Here she is in the bath tonight with her new toy.

Christmas Pictures

Here are the pictures that I had taken of Rylan at JCP. I thought it would be better if I had a professional take them. She wouldn't keep her shoes on and she was moving all over the place. We got a few good ones....without shoes.

Snowbaby

I found this super funny snowman outfit and I just had to get it. After I tried it on Rylan, I knew we had to go get pictures made. It's hysterical! I love it.

Daddy's Family Christmas Party

This Saturday, Duane's family had their Christmas Party. Rylan had a great time playing with her cousins and Grandparents. Here are some pictures.

Rylan figured out how to remove her bow for the first time at the party. She gave her bow to Lane and decided that she wanted to wear his hat instead.


Rylan was in love with her cousin, McKayla's hair. She kept pulling on it the whole time. Note: her bow is in her hand. My little baby will not wear shoes and now is protesting the bow. OH NO!
Here is Rylan and her cousin, Alyssa. She loved grabbing her glasses.
Here's Rylan giving her MawMaw a hug.
We stayed late, so Rylan had to get into her Christmas PJ's for the ride home. Here she is with her MawMaw and PawPaw.

I didn't get a picture of her with her baby cousin Cooper. She is really into giving hugs now. She gave him 3 hugs. It was so cute.

Grammy Time

This week, Rylan and I spent Wednesday-Friday over at Grammy's house. I am working on a 2009 business plan for work, so Grammy was in charge. Here's Rylan playing with the Minnie Mouse that Grammy got her. Here PJ's say: What Santa doesn't bring, Grandma will. SO TRUE~We are really going to need to get a bigger house after Christmas.

She can pull herself up on her knees. It won't be long and she will be standing. She doesn't stay still for long.



She thinks this Santa is funny. She loves the ball on Santa's hat. She pulled off the one on Grammy's shirt. HAHA!

Rylan's Rocking Giraffe

Rylan got a rocking giraffe toy from her best friend Taylor for Christmas. She's trying to get the hang of it. I have to watch her or she will slip off the side. As soon as she slips off, she wants to get right back on again.
