Rylan's 15 Month Checkup
Rylan went in this morning to see Dr. Lanman for his 15 month checkup. He also got one shot today which he didn't like AT ALL, but he got over it really fast. It's amazing how bandaids can make everything better. So, here are Rylan's 15 month stats:

Pool Party At Rylan's House
Well, Cody officially starts football meetings bright and early tomorrow morning so we needed to have one good cookout with the Timmermans before all the football madness begins for Cody and Keri. After we ate dinner Cody filled up the pools and the 3 kids had a blast in the water. We love having such good friends close by and it seems like our kids are basically growing up like siblings. After the swim party we put the kids to bed and the 4 adults had some fun playing the Wii. Natalie and I played a mean game of tennis (sorry for the punch to the back Nat) and Cody and Keri enjoyed their Tiger Woods golf game. However, now it's football time and we won't see the Timmermans quite as much with the hectic schedules, but there will be a good Friday night showdown later in the season when Cody and Keri's high schools match up for a football game...Go Lions!!

The two dads working hard on the swing...I'm sure there was some sort of football talk going on when I took this picture.
I love the grass on the nose!

One Year Anniversary
It's my Anniversary! No, it's not my wedding anniversary (although Cody is welcome to get me a present anyway) but it is my 1 year blogging anniversary. I got "talked into" doing this blog by Kim W. and I had no idea how addicted I would get. I have had so much fun posting pictures of Rylan during his first year and I know our family (especially Grandma T) and friends have enjoyed seeing our little family grow up. I'm sure I will keep this up for a long, long time! Who knows, I may still be blogging about Rylan when he is 40 years old!
Nonni and Papa came into town this weekend. Nonni got Rylan a new frog swimming pool.
How many Salyers men does it take to blow up a kiddie pool? That is the question of the day.
Rylan loved his new pool and Ripken enjoyed the sprinkler feature which made it easy for him to get a drink.
Having a blast in his pool. By the way, it was 103 degrees here today so I'm sure this felt so good to him.

So I have started to let Rylan run around naked after his bath at night because the baby LOVES it when he doesn't have a diaper on. Well, tonight he was having a great time being naked in the living room, but then nature called and he squatted right in the middle of the floor. Luckily, I made it in under the action with some paper towel just in time. Needless to say, "naked time" was over at that point. It made for a good laugh though!
This can't be too comfortable to do on the kitchen tile, but it doesn't seem to bother him.

Cute Pictures
These are completely random pictures from the day. I find myself laughing so much during the day because he does the funniest things.
This is Rylan's infant swing that we stopped using when he was about 4-5 months old. It has just been sitting in the corner of his playroom and he has always just walked right by it. Well, today I saw him walk into his room and pull his froggy through his crib slats, walk back into the playroom, and crawl up in the swing. He probably stayed there "resting" for about 10-15 minutes. I love the look on his face in the picture.
Let me first say that he is not wearing a "leash" in this picture. I prefer to call it his "safety walking harness" instead. Okay, okay...so it's a glorified leash, but he loves it and we needed it. He is at that stage where he likes to be out of the stroller and walking, but he doesn't understand that he has to stay close to us. Plus, I'm one of those mothers that freaks out about him walking in crowds. I just got it a few days ago and we have yet to use it in public, but he always wants me to put in on him in the house. He usually holds onto the monkey's tail as if he's walking himself.
He had put daddy's hat on and was telling the cat bye-bye. Every time Cody puts his hat on it means we are about to leave so I guess he has picked up on this.
Eating some yummy raisins after his 3.5 hour nap.

Like Mother, Like Son
My mom has always told the stories about me putting myself down for a nap as a baby. She says she would often find me asleep on my bedroom floor at the foot of my crib with my blanket. If I got sleepy I would just crawl into my room and go to sleep. To this day I still LOVE my naps! You give me a comfortable couch and a soft blanket and I will be asleep in less than 2 minutes. Well, I have been lucky enough to have a baby that also loves to sleep. He goes down every night at 7:30 and he sleeps until 8:00 each morning. Plus, he still takes at least one 2-3 hour nap a day. Today though, Rylan proved he is more like his momma than we thought. I was doing a few things in the kitchen when I realized the house was quiet and I didn't hear him anywhere. When I went looking for him this is what I found...
Yep, you got it, my baby had gotten his blanket and his froggy and he had laid himself down on his bedroom floor for some rest! Rylan, just when I think I can't love you any more you prove me wrong!!

Rylan's Fun Weekend With RoRo
My mom (RoRo) came to spend the weekend with us. Rylan had tons of fun with his RoRo. They played with his Play-Doh together, she took him on a walk in his red car, and she even stayed with him Saturday night while Cody and I went out to dinner together. On Friday night she made us a homemade dinner of beef stroganoff, noodles, salad, corn, watermelon, and brownie sundaes for dessert. It tasted so good after eating at the Baylor cafeteria all week at FCA camp. Thanks RoRo for a fun weekend and we love you! Now we're looking forward to a fun weekend with Nonni and Papa whenever they can make it down again!
Always smiling!
RoRo getting Rylan's footprint in the Play-Doh. He thought this was too funny and he kept putting his little foot back up on the table for her to do it again.

My Daddy Has Big News!!
We have had a crazy, eventful week. We left last Sunday for Waco where Cody worked the baseball FCA camp. The Timmerman's were also there with us so we got the chance to hang out with some of our best friends for an entire week! While Keri and Cody were off coaching Natalie and I spent some quality time with Addie, Rylan, and Doak. We took the kids to the zoo, the children's museum, and even to see the Baylor Bears. We also found time to sneak in some much needed naps...for the kids AND us! It was a great mini vacation and we had a blast!
However, even though we had so much fun at Baylor, there was something that happened while we were there that really made the week GREAT! On Tuesday afternoon Cody got a call from the Greenville High School Athletic Director who offered him the HEAD (yes I said HEAD) baseball job at GHS!! So Rylan is proud to announce that his daddy is now a head baseball coach at a 4A high school!!! We're so excited for daddy and we know he will be the best head baseball coach ever...and we'll be there at all the games to cheer him on! And, once again we have been shown that God's plan is perfect. Greenville is just 35 minutes from the house so I can keep my job here and we don't have to sell the house!! Now we just can't wait until baseball season!
Just reading his baseball book on the couch
"I'm so excited for my daddy and his new job!"

Walking around Baylor with Miss Addie and daddy
Rylan had a great time at the zoo and he especially liked it when I parked his stroller in front of the glass aquarium.
So tired after all our fun!
I couldn't resist this photo opportunity. They'll be a day when he's too big to do this.
Hanging out with momma.
Rylan wanted me to put his socks on his hands and as you can tell he thought it was so funny.
Apparently, the socks can double as batting gloves
This is Rylan standing at the block of big plastic bugs at the children's museum. I love the look on his face!
He kept talking to the wooden girl on the wall, but she never talked back.
Rylan sitting in the big caterpillar
Rylan to the rescue!!
Rylan kept flicking the stuffed bear's tail. He was more interested in the bear's rear end...go figure he's a little boy.
Running along the giant piano and making music
Yeehaw!!
