On the MOVE and SUNSHINE!

Well, almost... Riley is loving to walk all around while you are holding her hands or while she is pushing her baby stroller, dinosaur or her push wagon. She maneuvers her way from the couch to chair to table while trying to walk and it is just the cutest thing. We use to be able to wait a few minutes before grabbing her when she is headed towards the cat bowl, but WOW, you really have to run to catch her now b/c she crawls like a speedy Jacki Joyner- Kersee:)

I don't want to talk about it but yes, she is almost 11 months old, so exciting but so sad how fast time flies! Enjoy the pics!

Play date with my girls!

Just a day at the park!

8 Months

It's time for yet another monthly post and the photo shoots are getting so much fun to shoot. I feel like we are"over the hill," now that we have reached 8 months and are in the home stretch to ONE YEAR, which makes mommy sad! Riley continues to bring excitement and joy to our lives everyday and we LOVE this age. I'll let Riley talk now, she is dying to let you know all that she has accomplished over the last month.

Hello Family and Friends! I want to start by wishing you all a Merry Christmas. Our house is filled with Christmas spirit as I hope yours is as well. As for me now...I am about to crawl!!!! Mommy and daddy think I will crawl by Christmas. I lean over and get on all fours and then push myself back. I have my first TOOTH! HOORAY! It's not bothering me too much but maybe just a little. I learned how to clap this month which is so fun.

I am eating cheerios, puffs, and eating all kinds of fruits and veggies. I really love all of the fresh foods mommy prepares for me. I am such a wonderful sleeper and eater and all around wonderful baby.

I went to the doctor this month for a second flu shot and I weighed 19.6 lbs.

Toys I love are the singing, popping, hippo, my activity table, LOVE the jump up (I mean I could bounce all day long), outdoor swing, outdoor little push car, the dancing and singing Merry Christmas penguin, and really anything for me to chew on and that is just to name a few.

I am so looking forward to Christmas Day and I have visited Santa twice and I hear I am going two more times. That is all for now. Merry Christmas and Happy New year. I'll keep you posted on what all I received for Christmas and hopefully I will be crawling by the next post. Love and joy to all! RES.

THANKSgiving

We have so much to be thankful for this year. Riley is a true blessing and brings excitement, love and joy to our lives everyday. We spent the week in Charlotte and then middle of the week traveled to Georgia for a couple days then back to Charlotte for the weekend. Lots of miles traveled for our family but so great seeing everyone. We hope everyone had a very wonderful Thanksgiving.

Swinging with Noni!

So cute!

Play date with Clark. Clark was sad to leave so he wanted to give Riley one last kiss. Riley and Clark sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Beautiful Thanksgiving day in Georgia riding in her favorite car.

A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

It's officially Fall now that we have made our visit to the pumpkin patch and we are loving it. Our playgroup decided to take a filed trip to the pumpkin patch because we had to get these cuties in front of pumpkins for our adorable picture. All girls are within three months of one another and Kate and Riley were born on the same day just two doors down from one another:). We could not have asked for better weather and we had a blast. Later that afternoon we went back as a family to actually pick out pumpkins and we had such a special afternoon. Our first trip with miss Riley was so much fun and only the first of many years at the pumpkin patch. Happy Fall ya'll!

Over the river and through the woods...

We have had a busy Fall thus far.. phew, life certainly does not slow down. Matt's grandmother came up for the week and Riley was able to see both great grandmas in the same week, how exciting. Riley and I then traveled to Greenwood, SC to visit my grandmother, then headed to Greenville, SC for a girls weekend with my mom, Emily (my sister-in-law), her mom, sister and sister-in-law and we had a blast. THEN mom and Riley and I headed to go apple picking on our way back to Charlotte. We grew up going apple picking and it is nice to start this tradition back over the last two years. We have a busy week traveling but was so much fun to see everyone:)
