Long For The Flowers

Dear Issiah,  I remember seeing you for the first time. I was living in Fort Polk, La. We came to Colorado to visit and I couldn't wait to see you for the first time.  I remember walking into your Dads and mom Lisa's Apartment. You were sitting on your Dad's lap. I remember thinking how blessed I was to have such a beautiful grandchild. Your beautiful blonde hair, curly on the ends and blue eyes looked up at me. You didn’t quite know who I was yet but you didn't cry when I picked you up and hugged you. You were an angel baby. I gave you a stuffed baby elephant with a blue hat and you carried it and tried to chew on it as your grow. Jared was about 6 years old. (as best as I can remember) He wanted to sit on the couch so that I could put you on his lap. Your mom said it was okay. You were so adorable.  It was hard to leave back to Fort Polk, I didn’t want to miss you growing, the first time you sit up or walk. It happens so fast and I didn’t want to miss it....

Grandma Debbie is in town and excited to come see you. You didn't mind her holding you for just a few minutes but you wanted mommy most of the time. I think it's because you just woke up from a nap. 6 months is all about you sitting up and the most wonderful smile I have ever seen. I spend hours sitting with you, making you laugh just to watching you smile. Your legs are chunky and I just want to bite them, and tickle them all the time. Dad and I can't get enough of you. I don't want to let you go when he gets home but you get so happy to see your daddy, you jump out of my arms the moment you see him. 

I look at you and see your curiosity and I hope that you never lose that quality. Life is something to constantly be curious about and to motivate you to try new things and places. Live in the Moment Ryleigh, I promise to do the same. 

Logan’s 1st birthday party came up on us so quickly we couldn’t believe he was already turning 1. Ryleigh you and Logan liked to roll on and over each other, which made the party fun for the two of you. We were Getting ready for fall Broncos season, so your outfit was rightfully worn and fit the occasion perfectly.

Looks like Papa John Original Scrap-book Page. One of my favorites at the time. 

April showers brings may flowers. These showers happen to be tears falling from our faces because are able to push yourself us with relative ease. Belly time was always fun for us because you would be learning how to hold your head up and now you can go from belly to seated position and are building muscles to start to crawl. All the hard work does crush you though, see how you went back on the ground to take a quick nap. hahaha Original Scrap-book pages
