God bless our sweet little angel.

Our Angel

Hip Hip Hooray.. Happy 4 Month Birthday!

It's that time again! Another month has flown by and we can't be more in love. Riley makes us smile 1,000 times everyday and it melts our hearts EVERY time.

Now a word from miss Riley:

Hello family and friends! I am laughing, giggling, drooling..A LOT, grabbing my toes, rolling side to side and holding my head up so strong. I love the jump up and excersaucer which mommy got out this month. Considering mommy never stayed still while pregnant, I continue to love being bounced around and always enjoys movement of any kind. I am fascinated by the Baby Einstein video that was just introduced to me (I think the people that made it are a little weird but it is so fun to watch:)). As always, I enjoy the pool and beach. I went underwater for the first time this month and boy was I shocked, but had so much fun doing it. I slept through the night on my 4 month birthday and am so proud of myself. Well, I could go on and on but I must get my beauty rest. See you next month and can't wait to tell you what all I have acomplished. My goals for 5 months are to be a wonderful sleeper, roll over, sit up, eat rice cereal, umm and I think that is all for now:) Love to all.

Playing Catch Up

Mommy got rid of some NB clothes and got sad so she had to take a picture of my updated closet to keep the memories. P.S. I think I have way cuter clothes than my mommy and they are all new, hers are so old.. eww.

Swing, music, lovey and paci.. I'm good to go:)

Love the jump up at Noni's (I think I like it better than mine at home)

I loved playing with Papa Ozzy! He wanted me to wear my outfit mommy and daddy gave him when he found out I was coming into the world:)

Noni and mommy made a quilt and lovey for me:) I love them both so much.

Grilled Chicken with Fresh Corn Cakes

• I love Southern Living magazine and found this recipe and we make it at least once a week. It's a must try. Happy Summertime!!!
• 
  
• Ingredients:
• 3 lemons
• 2 garlic cloves, pressed
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
• 3 skinned and boned chicken breasts
• 3 ears fresh corn, husks removed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 (6-oz.) package buttermilk cornbread mix
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
• 8 cooked thick hickory-smoked bacon slices
• 2 cups loosely packed arugula

Preparation

• 1. Preheat grill to 350° to 400° (medium-high) heat. Grate zest from lemons to equal 1 Tbsp. Cut lemons in half; squeeze juice from lemons into a measuring cup to equal 1/4 cup.
• 2. Whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, next 3 ingredients, and 1 tsp. salt. Reserve 1/4 cup lemon mixture. Pour remaining lemon mixture in a large zip-top plastic freezer bag; add chicken. Seal and chill 15 minutes, turning once. Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade.
• 3. Brush corn with 1 Tbsp. olive oil; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt.
• 4. Grill chicken and corn at the same time, covered with grill lid, 20 minutes, turning chicken once and turning corn every 4 to 5 minutes. Remove chicken, and cover. Hold each grilled cob upright on a cutting board, and carefully cut downward, cutting kernels from cob.
• 5. Stir together cornbread mix and 2/3 cup water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir in basil and 1 cup grilled corn kernels. Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each corn cake onto a hot, lightly greased griddle. Cook cakes 3 to 4 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look dry and cooked; turn and cook other side.
• 6. Thinly slice chicken. To serve, place 2 corn cakes on each plate, top with chicken and 2 bacon slices. Toss arugula with reserved lemon mixture. Place arugula on bacon, and sprinkle with corn kernels.
