Ta Da!

Bailey can sit up now!  Right before she turns 8 months.

Ryleigh got a little jealous of me praising Bailey and taking pictures.  She sat next to her and said "Look, I can sit up too!"  Then she tried to be sneaky and push her down.

And look, she finally is getting some hair!

I Love These Girls

I have tried for a long time to get one of these moments on video.  They happen often but as soon as I find the camera Bailey is done.  Ryleigh loves to make her sister laugh.  She thinks it is pretty funny.  Bailey likes to pull Ryleigh's hair all the time and Ryleigh thinks it is funny as well.

Tree Decorating

After the light parade we went to a tree lot to buy our Christmas tree.  Ryleigh had fallen asleep in the car so we just took her up to bed when we got home.  When she woke up in the morning and saw the tree in the living room she was so excited and told me right away that the tree needed bows like Grandma has on her tree.  When she got closer to the tree and noticed that the tree leaves a mess, she wasn't too sure about that.  After church we came home and decorated it.  Ryleigh loved every minute of it.

 Bailey was content sitting in her chair watching.

Light Parade

Ryleigh and I braved the cold and went to the light parade with my sister-in-law and her kids.  It was very long but they did a great job.  Ryleigh waved to every float that passed by.

 She was complaining while we were waiting for the parade to start that she was cold.  I wrapped her up in the blanket but it didn't last long.

Santa Try #2

Again, no luck!  Bailey loved him though.

We were in UT for Thanksgiving and Santa came to the courthouse in Brigham City so we thought we would let Ryleigh try again.  She told us the whole time we were in line that she wasn't going to sit on his lap but that she would stand by him so I could take a picture.  Nope, that didn't happen either.  As soon as we got up there, "Mommy, I need you, I need you!"

Tree Lighting

On Friday night we went to the Tree Lighting in Caldwell.  It was very cold and there were tons of people but we had a great time.  Bailey stayed nice and warm all bundled up in the stroller.

While we were standing in line for Santa we saw a reindeer.  Ryleigh wouldn't get close enough to it to get her picture taken so here is the butt of the reindeer.

Ryleigh was so excited to see Santa and was telling us all of the things she was going to ask Santa for for Christmas.  When we got up to Santa and the Mrs., she wanted nothing to do with them.  Santa even tried bribing her with a candy cane while her cousins Madison and Zachary were sitting on their laps.  She had no problem taking the candy but refused to get any closer to them.  That little stinker.  Thank goodness we still have a month to convince her to sit on Santa's lap.

After we left Santa I told Ryleigh she didn't tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas so he wasn't going to bring her any presents.  She didn't seem too concerned and said we will find another Santa.  She cracks me up.

 She did however, ride the little train with Zachary.  He is so cute with her.  Before the train started to go he told her to put her arms inside.

I didn't end up getting any pictures of the lights because of all the people.  But we will for sure be back multiple times to see the 400,000 lights.  Ryleigh kept pointing out all of the purple lights.

Cheeseball

I took the girls to get pictures taken Saturday morning.  Ryleigh kept talking about getting her pictures taken all day and posing around the house.  She wanted more pictures taken so I took her outside for another photo shoot.
