Carrier/Strong Baby!

Since Rylee likes to peek over the side of the carrier to see where we are, we decided to try it with her going forward. She "gets stuff done" with me like this now and stays awake and intersested for quite awhile. I love carrying her around, I hope she never gets sick of this.

Once she is finished exploring her new world, she takes a load off and dozes. The picture below on the left is the first picture to beat out her 1 day old photo for my phone screen saver. I look at it often. I sent it to her grandmothers and Nana says shes "spolied rotten" and Grammie says "hows silly".

On Wednesday I told Rylee she was 7 weeks old, so she wanted to try lifting up her shoulders and head with her arms. I obliged and laid her down on the ottoman. Look how strong she is! Baby Center.com's milestone chart lists this as "Advanced Skills (a few kids can do)" at 2 months. Rylee says bring it on. She wants to try running next but I think we will wait awhile for that.
Today I took Rylee for her first trip to the mall. Lots to look at there! She mostly looked at all the lights on the ceiling. On the way out a mall employee offered me a plastic bag to put over her head to protect her from the rain. We took our chances with the rain!
