Here’s another short film that is all about 5 month old Rylie 🙂 5 month old Rylie was jammed with new things! We got to go to some new places (mommy+daddy’s school, the zoo, the lake, the science center), we learned some new tricks (grabbing her feet, rolling over, practicing sitting up (which basically means […]

being rylie – 4 months old
I have fallen in love with taking videos. Pictures are obviously my jam, but I love the emotion and story that videos share that simply cannot always be captured in one still moment. You may remember I did a short film full of 30 second or so clips of Rylie from Newborn – 3 months […]
my 1st official mother’s day
Although I do consider last Mother’s Day to be my first, this Mother’s Day also counts as a 1st since I’ve actually birthed and taken care of a human. 😛 I’d go through labor all over again to have you Rylie love. You make me smile, laugh, & cry (happy tears). God told me while I […]
amberlyn’s highlands college graduation
On SATURDAY (5.13.17), Amberlyn had her commencement for completing her two year journey with Highlands College. The ceremony was almost 2 hours long, and Rylie did an amazing job throughout the whole thing. No fussing, crying, or anything – just a little talking to the family sitting behind us and grabbing her teething toy and […]
mama tribe at the lake
On FRIDAY (5.12.17), some of the mommies from our “Mom & Baby” small group planned a day out to Lake Martin at our small group leader’s family’s lake house. We met up at 7:45am and carpooled (2 moms and 2 babies in each car) to the lake house – which was a little over an […]
rylie – 6 months old
1/2 a year has gone by already! How? Wasn’t she just a newborn? 😛 LIKES :: grabbing her feet moving her arms up and down grabbing things (toys, blankets, hair, glasses, shirt colars, etc.) eating oatmeal eating bananas eating apples talking (cooing, sighing, gasping, sticking her tongue out and making a noise, etc.) sitting up (well, […]
improvising
TUESDAY (5.2.17) evening, my good friend Andrea & I made plans to take our girls to a splash pad in the morning. When WEDNESDAY (5.3.17) came, we packed up Ellie & Rylie and drove towards our destination. When we got there though, the parking lot seemed empty and maintenance guys were walking around. Andrea asked […]
it’s like a giant bathtub
SATURDAY (4.29.17) was a long day for the Shaver Crew! We started the morning off by doing a 10k for school (I’ll write about that tomorrow), but afterwards, we had a much needed lake day planned. I had packed everything in the car at 6am that morning so that we could go straight from the […]
books are friends
Lately, I’ve been really focusing on Rylie’s tummy time and working on sitting up by herself. She shows immense interest in sitting up but tummy time is still something we’re working on enjoying. If she’s on her tummy, she immediately rolls over (insert happy dance 😀 haha) So to keep her on her tummy, I […]
the zoo with mommy-friends
TUESDAY (4.25.17) some mommy-friends invited Rylie & I to go to the zoo with them. With a ride and a free pass into the zoo, I was more then happy to get out of the house and spend some time with our friends! I packed Rylie up for the afternoon and we headed out. Rylie […]
