Rylie's 7 months

Rylie turned 7 months old on July 19th and we finally took a picture on the actual day! She has been working hard to sit up like a big girl! Rylie is also starting to enjoy solids. So far, she has enjoyed butternut squash, sweet potato, banana, oatmeal and peaches, but was not a fan of peas or avocado.

 Rylie loves to listen to the music and watch the toy light up! She also loves Averie and it's so wonderful to see how Rylie lights up and gets the biggest smile whenever Averie comes into the room and plays with her. We can only hope they will stay that close!

Anna Maria Island

We all headed to Anna Maria island for a week to celebrate Kathee & Steve's 70th birthdays and 40th wedding anniversary. They rented a house on the beach for the entire family to be together and Amy flew in from Arizona and Melissa & Brendan came from Hong Kong to celebrate. It is really rare for us all to be together and was a treat. Averie kept very busy with the pool at the house and ventured to the beach a few mornings. The girls loved spending time with their aunties and being spoiled by them and Grandma & Popsie.

As a gift, Melissa organized a professional photographer to come capture the family trip. Always nice to have a rare family photo as a memento.
