Proud Mommy!

Rya is now 3 months old (can you believe it??) and has perfected her first major milestone. She has rolled over from back to front. It happened a few days ago but wasn't happening consistently. HOWEVER...last night she rolled over again...and again...and again. Now I can't get her to stop. You stick her on her back and within seconds she's on her tummy. We'll have to see what happens tonight when she's goes to sleep.

So, yeah...everything here is just peachy! As always...stay tuned for the latest & greatest in the life of Rya Faith :)


Look at the pretty camera...


What did you just say?


I'm SOOOO tired!

Yeah, we love each other :)

Mommy, I'm not ready to wake up yet!


Playin' around with her favorite pal, Alex :)


Chill'n on the LA-Z-BOY

So sue me...

I know - I probably go a little overboard with all the pictures...but I'm a new Mommy! What do you expect?? Haha...ENJOY (or not...it's totally up to you!)


Mama Love <3


Eat my feet Daddy (personally, one of my new favorites)



The highly anticipated (and much loved) Bumbo Seat

Lov'n her activity mat

I'm in the jungle baby - yeah!

I guess it was inevitable...

Yup - the inevitable has happened. Rya has recently discovered her thumbs and wasted no time putting them to use. Mommy is trying to break this nasty habit by giving her a pacifier, but I fear that it is all in vain. Daddy sucked his thumb FOREVER! If anyone has any tips, I'm open to them!!



Yes, it's cute...BUT...I can take a pacifier away...a thumb I can't!!



Geez...even in her sleep! What's a mom to do??

And it's heating up...

Yup - I know I live in AZ, but to already be in the triple digits is just crazy! It's only MAY!! But, nevertheless, we have been averaging about 101 degrees the last couple of weeks. It's not too bad yet...though I'm hoping this doesn't mean even WARMER temps this summer...YIKES :)

Here are some updated pics for you all...as if I'd post an update with out pics...GEESH! As you can see, I've got a new car - the 2 door Civic was just too much of a hassle with only 2 doors and lugging Rya in and out of it. So yeah...here ya go:


Gotta love cell phone cameras :)

Mama's little monkey

Dancing Baby :)

The new ride - 2002 Jeep Liberty LTD

Black, sunroof, 6 disc CD changer, not to mention the much appreciated 4 doors

As if there aren't enough...

Now here's a few more for you...

She LOVES watching IDOL...this is her reaction to Simon (no, seriously!)

Rya sleeping with her puppy :)

Her new Jumperoo

Not quite sure what to think yet...

Close up

A little picture happy...

Just a quick slide show of some pictures I took this morning.

What do you think?

What do you think? Is she starting to look even the tinsiest bit like me?? At all?? Look really hard...can't you see it?? NO?? Hmm...I could have sworn there was something there!

Just a little "Tummy Time"...but she's finding more enjoyment in sucking on her fist. Oh well...
