A firefighter

I've really enjoyed having the past couple of days off with Rylie. We've played a lot and just had a great time being together. I've gotten tickled at her talking several times. She's started calling me "Mom" or "Momma" now instead of "Mommy." :( I can't believe how my baby's growing up! We had a cute conversation yesterday while she was eating a snack. She was sitting in her high-chair saying, "baby, baby, baby" over and over.

Me - Are you my baby?
Rylie - No. I'm not a baby.
Me - But I want you to be my baby. Won't you be my baby?
Rylie - No
Me - Well, if you're not my baby, then who will be?
Rylie - Santa Claus
Me - What are you going to be then if you're not my baby?
Rylie - A firefighter
Me - Will you be my firefighter then?
Rylie - Yes!

Christmas night at mom and dad's, I was trying to get her to sleep. We were lying in bed talking about Christmas. I asked her what her favorite thing about Christmas was and she said, "Mommy!". That just melted my heart! She said that daddy was her favorite toy, lol.
