Babies, Babies and more Babies!

This weekend was our niece Lola's 1st Birthday! I cannot believe she is a year old, it's flown by and she just gets cuter and cuter by the day.
Also, on March 1 our newest nephew Cannon Rigby Copeland was born- so Riley is no longer the baby in the family. We are so excited for Riley to have another boy in the family so close to his age. We have high hopes of them being the best of friends! Congrats to Kent and Natalie on their little miracle! We can't wait to meet him in May.

And then of course a few pictures of Riley!
At his 1 month appointment he has chunked up to 10 lbs 10 oz and is now 21.5 inches. I'm not sure where he's putting it because he is not nearly chubby enough...bring on the rolls! The Dr. was surprised at how much he is eating- which is constantly, but I think he's just burning it right off. If you've had the privilege of holding Riley you know what I mean. He never stops moving. He's constantly flailing about, jumping around, and kicking with arms flying. He's like holding a wild animal, he definitely behaves the same as when I was pregnant with him. He DOES NOT act like a 5 week old- he even thinks he can hold his head up and does a pretty good job of it.

His favorite part of the day is tubby time.



His Daddy has him practicing his throwing technique already.



We loved surprising Craig for lunch in Riley's cute little LSU outfit. This was snapped during a very brief period that he was still and sleeping. Did I mention he prefers to NOT take naps during the day? The only way to get him to sleep is to go for a ride and I think it's because that's the only time he is still is when he's strapped down.

We loved having Baby Riley come for the weekend--oh yes, and it was great having you and Craig, too! He was so good at our house--I think he likes to go to his grandpa and grandma's for visits!

Yes, thanks for coming up to visit us for Lola's birthday and to witness the greatness of Garrett's 1st soccer game, as well. It WAS an experience, wasn't it? Now you understand what you guys get to look forward to with Riley in a few short years!

xoxo,

um--yeah, that is miny Craig for sure. He looks just like him! He is changing so much--time is going way too fast. and I can't believe Lola is a year old. She was Riley's size when I was there.
