Disneyland and 1st Birthday!

Well, it is official, our baby girl is a year old. Crazy how time flies when your having fun. We started her birthday celebration out by taking her to Disneyland for a week. We had a great time. We arrived on Sunday August 29 and stayed until Sept 3. We stayed at the Grand Californian hotel, which is an amazing hotel. We had a view of the California Adventures park outside our window. It was also really convenient for when we got tired, because it was so close to the parks. The first night there, we really wanted to catch Fantasmic, because we have never seen it. Every time we go, it is not going and this time, Sunday was the only day it was going while we were there. So, we went in to Disneyland, took Rylee on a few rides and then sat at a table waiting for it to start. Rylee crashed out 5 minutes before it started. We thought she would wake up when it started, because it was loud, but she must have been really tired, because she didn't budge. It was a good show though. On Tuesday, My mom, step dad and Abbie joined us at Disneyland. We had a great time together. Wednesday was Rylee's actual birthday, so we decided to take her to build a bear and let her build one. She picked out the bear she wanted. She was very picky about the one she wanted. We did a personal message for her too. Anytime she pushes the bears hand she hears our voices and gets such a big smile. It is so cute. We also ate at the Blue Bayou, which is the restaurant inside Pirates of the Caribbean. It was pretty good. On Thursday we decided to try and go to the beach, who knew it would be 65 degrees at the beach and cloudy. It wasn't the best time at the beach, but we had fun. We didn't stay to long though. We went into the park for a little bit on Friday before heading home. We really had a great time. In fact we are tempted to get annual passes now.

We couldn't get a smile out of her, I think she was a little unsure.

So I apoligize, apparently this is going to be a very long post. Now on to her actual Birthday party. We did it at Danny's mom's house. It really turned out very well. Thank you Chuck and Deb for allowing us to take over your house for the evening. She had a lot of fun. Lots of Family and friends came to celebrate with us. She got a lot of great gifts. She didn't smash into her cake, she just enjoyed picking at it. I will just post some pictures of it, so you can all see how much fun we had.

My baby girl!




Apparently my computer doesn't want me to upload any more pictures right now, so I will finish uploading them later. I figured this is enough for now. I guess I will leave you with a few fun facts about Rylee Roo. She has 5 teeth now. She says momma, dadda, baba, she says kitty kitty, but is sounds more like tizzy tizzy. She loves her kitty kitty. She says Hi really well. She always greets us with a very cute hi when she wakes up in the morning. She waves hi and bye. She does a different wave for each. She tries to blow kisses. She points to objects and says whats that, over and over again. I am sure there is a ton more, but I am drawing a blank now. I just can't believe how lucky we are to have such a beautiful, funny, sweet, loving, amazing, adorable little girl. We just love her so much. Can't wait to see what this next year will bring.
