Talking

Ryn becomes more and more talkative every day. I think I hear a "mama" every once in awhile. I hope it isn't my imagination! Her little curls keep growing in the back and they are so precious, just like her :-)

Curl

Ryn's hair has been a little frizzy in the back lately. Then, yesterday it began curling upward into dainty little curls. So precious!

April 2012

A lot has happened in the last month. On Thursday, April 5th Ryn began crawling! She is so proud of herself and enjoys being able to get across the room to all of those wonderful toys without assistance from mommy and daddy. I hope to upload the video sometime soon. In addition, she began cutting her two upper incisors last week. She has handled it well and doesn't want it to interfere with playing and ride on daddy's shoulders! During this time she has also attended her first Easter Egg Hunt and celebrated her first Easter Sunday. She is such a little sweetheart and gets cuter every day.

Baptism

On March 18th, surrounded by close friends and family, Ryn was baptized by her grandfather, Rev. Jim Robertson, at Trinity United Methodist Church in Opelika, AL. She wore a beautiful dress lovingly made by her grandmother, Mary Ann Haynie. The dress was detailed in lace from her great-grandmother, Mabel McFee, for her grandmother, Rebecca Robertson's, wedding. Another beautiful feature was a monogrammed cross near the bottom of the dress. Ryn was a graceful recipient of the baptism. She did not fuss and allowed her picture to be taken multiple times. Her endurance lasted through lunch where everyone wanted to hold her. She smiled and enjoyed all of the attention. We are blessed to have had such wonderful friends and family help us celebrate Ryn's first steps with God.

Blanket

Nana made Ryn a beautiful blanket with butterflies, pretty ribbon, and buttons. She has been very curious about the blanket and we hope she will enjoy it for many years to come.

Little Miss Independent

Ryn is learning how to hold her own bottle. I think she has enjoyed this new discovery. She is also talking up a storm and just grins at herself after each dialogue. She is so precious!

Happy Valentine's Day!! It's My First!!

Ryn celebrated her first Valentine's Day on Tuesday. She dressed in an adorable top with hearts on the front and made us a cute card at Miss Sherrie's. She also received a card from both sets of grandparents. Ryn is a perfect Valentine for Eric and me. We are very blessed to have such a wonderful baby girl!
