Oh, how I LOVE my daddy!

Ryan is so much fun...and cute, adorable, funny, loves to play, loves to snug, loves to smile, etc.! The list goes on and on. Oh, how we love this little girl. Ryan is a really good baby; so when she starts waking up in the middle of night (like 4 times) crying you know something is up. Ryan's second tooth popped through this past Friday (Oct. 2). She did great with the first one, but had had enough when another one came in less than 1 week later. She was up during the night, had trouble sleeping during the day, constantly wanted to chew, and to top it all off, had diarrhea, which created a bad diaper rash. Well, she is finally starting to feel better. Poor thing. I felt so bad for her, but knew there wasn't anything I could do besides give her snugs all day. She's back to sleeping well, which mom and dad really like too!

Did I mention that Ryan is a daddy's girl? Or that Billy is a great dad? Ryan loves the water. She loves to take showers with Billy and loves to go in the swimming pool. All summer long we had a number of people invite us over to swim. We loved it. It was our chance to be outside admidst the raging heat. When summer ended (which for AZ didn't happen until last week) we saw this great kiddie pool that was on clearance. I love a great deal. So when we saw this whale pool that even had a spout that shot water out of it for $5 we knew we had to have it. Even with cold water Ryan still loved playing and splashing around. And her daddy got in there too. I am so grateful for Billy and his love for kids. I appreciate a husband and a father who doesn't sit on the sidelines, but is actively involved in Ryan's life. The other day Ryan and I stopped by Billy's work to grab something and as soon as we left Ryan started crying and kept looking back at Billy. I love my family!
