Raygie and Dutch

Here's a great look at Raygen and Dutch playing in the morning! She loves her animal brothers...all 3 of them!!!

My new hat!!

She got a really neat, comfy winter hat that she's been able to try out plenty on her walks!!!

Her bumpy seat is now in use! She loves to sit in her crib and play with the aquarium she has hanging from the crib!! As you can see from the pic, she can turn it on and off all by herself now!! She is the queen of her crib now that she can sit up in her throne!! She sure lets us know by her smile!

Speaking of smiles, when she isn't, she is crying and not very happy. This is due to the coming in of her new teeth!! She's got two coming in on the bottom and the two at the top middle have just broken through the skin. Oh how she loves her new life of eating crackers and other solids!!!!

We will post more very soon!

We're baaaack!

It's been awhile since we've put pics up for all to see. Raygen told dad that he needed to put new pics of her for all her friends to see! Okay little buddy, you get your wish!!! Today she got herself a new hiking backpack that she can ride in! Daddy is excited because it is much more comfortable for him than her old tiny backpack and she had a blast sitting on daddy's back cruising around the neighborhood!! Here's some new shots of our little ham!

Here's a first, Raygie with a baseball cap on! I think she is going to like the stright brim, daddy shouldn't have curved it for me cause I'm all about the straight bill!!!

This is one of my favorite pics of mommy and Raygie!!! Look at the pose on Raygen and how proud she is of her bow that is equally as big as her head! haaaa

I think she definitely does have daddy's nose!! Raygen loved showing off her new outfit for Christmas Eve as well as the oh so cute jacket that matched... Her first Christmas has past and we have collected so many great memories, although as I write she is being a little fuss bucket with whoever holds her...I think she is holding out for a piece of daddy's birthday cake from yesterday!!!!

Raygen's 1st Radio Flyer from Annie. She was posing like a little model! She loved sitting in her all terrain wagon. She can't wait to go in walks in her new wagon...she has to get a little bigger, but pretty soon! Thank you Annie for my present, I will you use it for many years to come.

Family Photo Christmas Eve: We went to Nana's house in Sugar Pine. She had her first gift exchange. She loved playing with the paper. She got a brand new outfit from Elise and Jaime for christmas with a little pink pea coat, which was too cute! She definitly had a good time and a good christmas Eve!

Ryan and Raygen in her first snow. We had a lot of snow to play in, so much snow that we had no school for 2 days. We also had no electricity for the most part. She got scared at night because it was so dark in the house and we just had candle light. She just loved watching the snow fall when we took her outside.

Good Morning Everybody!!

Raygen decided she wanted to leave a message to all of those that love her this morning! Any help on decoding it would be appreciated! Seems as if there are a lot of da da's coming!!! I've been working on her "MMM" sounds, sorry mommy she is just not taking to that idea :) As I've been typing this she's telling me that her agent called and I must work something out with him first before she appears on the Internet!!!! She's big-timing us already. She's also beginning to boss people around like someone else we know!! haaaaa -Dad

Time Flies!

It's definitly fall time around here...leaves falling, but we've had perfect weather.... 70's everyday. We can't put away our summer clothes just yet. We are all adjusting to mom and dad working full time and little Raygen being shuffled around. Raygen stays with family during the week. Between my aunt, grandma florence (gram) and my parents (mi mi) and mat she is well taken care of. Although I miss her during the day it makes the time I spend with her extra special. Plus, she is getting to know all her family very well! She gets spoiled everyday, which is just fine with me.

Saturday we took Raygen downtown Groveland where all the kids trick or treat and walk around the businesses. I didn't see one other skunk downtown. She did really well. She was kinda sleepy but enjoyed staying up high in daddys arms watching all the movement.

Ryan is putting in our hardwood floors right now, so we took a picture of the entry way progress, the nail gun scares Raygen so we have to do it when she's playing in her room or I take her somewhere. She will be crawling on them soon, so we are trying to get them down so it's not sub floors she's on.

In the morning we play with her before we have to go to work and take her to wherever she is going in the morning. This is a picture of her playing with daddy in the morning...she is usually really happy in the morning. She loves wearing her pajama sleepers at night and I always put a little hat on her before I take her out in the morning.

She is now eating pears, bananas, rice cereal, and peaches and she drinks some dilluted apple juice in her sippee cup. She is getting to be a "big girl" now. Love it!!!

Fun in the TUB!!!!

This is a recent video from Raygen in the bathtub enjoying a water workout to the sounds of the duck. She really gets after it in the tub, ever since she was born! I'm guessing Dr. Clinite was correct in stating that this one was going to be a swimmer!! Just look at her kicking away, sometimes I wonder about her smashing her head into the side of the tub she is kicking so hard! She does let us know she is having a blast with the smiles though!!!! Enjoy your viewing ;)
