Rilynne's first church sunday

So yesterday we took Rilynne to church for the first time. I am a bit paranoid about her getting sick so I haven't taken her out too much since she was born. So church kind of frighten me with so many people and sick kids, etc but it went really well. I thought for sure Rilynne would start crying as soon as the sacrament prayer started and everyone would be staring but my little girl did so well. She slept ALL 3 hours! She was so good, better than she is at home. I couldn't believe it!



I haven't been to RS in over 6 weeks so it was so nice to go and see everyone again. Everyone loved Rilynne. They all thought that pictures didn't do her justice. She is so much cuter in real life, which I think is totally true. I dressed her up in the cutest out that my friend Shanan gave her. She looked really adorable.

Growing

My little girl is growing so fast! She is almost out of 0-3 month clothes and 1-2 diapers at only 6 weeks! I can't believe she is already 6 weeks old - where has the time gone? This past week or so she has really started to smile and it's the cutest thing ever. I can't wait until I can hear her laugh. She is such a happy baby.

Since she is going so fast I have to start putting her in all the clothes she has worn yet. This past week in Portland it has been really nice - sunny and 55-60 degree - so I put her in this cute spring dress so we could all run errands as a family.






I think Rilynee might be getting sick of her picture being taken. She kind of looks a bit grumpy.

Family

Here are some of my favorite pictures of our family that our friend Jenni Price took. Thanks so much Jenni for coming over and taking these!

Leaving the House

So this week was the first week that we have really left the house with Rilynne. We went to Costco and that was interesting. I wanted to put her in her wrap but she wasn't having any of it. So I ended up putting her car seat in the cart. The problem was that I couldn't get any groceries into the cart. The checker was laughing at me because I was having such a hard time get everything on the belt and then getting everything back into the cart. I explained that this was my first time going out with her. That just made him laugh harder but he wished me luck. Rilynne was so good it was just hard and more time consuming then I thought it would be.

Isn't she beautiful?

The next night we went to Tyler's basketball game as SRHS. They lost the game, the played the #1 high school in the state and 19th in the country. We were sad that they lost but Rilynne was the hit of the game. Everyone was coming up to me saying how beautiful she was and how happy they were for us. Rilynne felt right at home in the gym so we are thinking Rilynne is well on her way of becoming a stellar athlete! :)

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Rilynne got dressed up for the holiday in her Valentine's Day outfit with a headband that I made for her. Doesn't she look cute? It's been a fun holiday - her grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins send her her first Valentine's Day card. Thanks you guys!

Rilynne's Nursery Decor

So this is Rilynne's nursery. My friends and I painted this wall a darker brown and I made the picture frames and my friend Tamara gave me the laminate lettering. I hung up the frames by myself and that is why they are not straight but I don't care, it doesn't look as bad in real life. I am just proud of myself that I could do something crafty and I thought it up all by myself.

The best part is I got everything for her nursery for under $20!!!

Going Out!

While Grandpa & Grandma Hollist were here we took one of our first ventures out of the house. We went to Olive Garden and had a nice dinner out. I was having a bit of cabin fever so it was nice to get out even if it was only an hour.
Auntie Lisa gave little Rilynne this cute outfit. She doesn't really like hats but she did pretty well and she looked super cute. Several people at Olive Garden said how cute she looked.
