Roly Polly

It was bound to happen.  We put her to sleep on her tummy and we walked in to find her like this.  I was in denial about it and then she did it in front of me.  She looks surprised when she does it- like she isn't quite sure how she ended up on her back.  Baby Polly is hitting milestones.  Every first for her is a mommy last for me, so it is bittersweet.  Glad our little girl is growing and healthy but I love her being little.

Six Year Letters to Ryan

Dear Ryan,

Holy moly! You are six and about to be a first grader! I cannot believe it. You have grown so much this past year. It has been a busy year but you have excelled at everything you did.  You started elementary school and are in the accelerated reading program, you acted in theater all year and performed in a play, you did tap and ballet and performed at the recital, you played t-ball, you did Girl Scouts, you became a big sister again to Polly! You have so many friends at school and are described as 'nice to everyone'. What a year! I am so proud of you, especially for the big sister that you are to both Emma and Polly.  You are such a sweet girl and you are full of love.  Thanks for all the fun and all of the smiles this past year.  Love you so much my Munch.

Love,

Mommy


Ryan, 

Happy 6th Birthday. I can't believe how fast you are growing. You have been such a good sister and inspiration to Emma and Polly. It makes me so proud to see you getting smarter everyday. I love you so much! Thank you for being my daughter. 

Love, 

Dad



Ryan is SIX!

We had a Tinkerbell themed birthday party at ASI gymnastics with all of Ryan's friends. Then, on her actual birthday we had a family dinner at Babes Chicken and Ryan got to pick out her first pet- Fiona the fish! We had a great time celebrating our big girl!
