Exploring

The last week has been somewhat chaotic with preparations for a bridal shower for my sister (at my house) and another sister and family coming to stay with us for a week.  There has been much cleaning, organizing, purging, etc. going on.  Anyway, I've been taking pictures, but I haven't necessarily gotten to blog about all of them.  Not long after the post where Rylee was trying to break out of her fence, we actually bit the bullet and baby proofed (as much as possible).  We still have the fence up to keep her off the fireplace/coffee table/tv cords/treadmill, but she is no longer confined.  It was such an adjustment for me; I can no longer just run to the bathroom and feel confident that she'll be fine while I'm gone.  But it's been fun to see her explore and see everything.  

Right after letting her free (just over a week ago)...

 

 Another day.  She loves looking out the window! : )

And another day...finding all kinds of new places.

It's funny to watch her play with the spots of light.  She'll try to hit it and get confused when it goes away (because her hand is blocking the light). 

And yet another day...

The night before the bridal shower, I temporarily removed the fence.  Rylee didn't know what to think of the cofffee table and seat.  She just knows that she loved them!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

And this was just one night after her bath when her hair was crazy.
