More of Riley's Summer Fun

We haven't left town much this summer, besides a couple of trips to Louisiana. Summer is Craig's busiest time at work and pregnant and all I just haven't felt like traveling too far with Riley alone. However, we've tried our darndest to still have a fun summer! 

 Lots and lots of pool days. Riley has been in a swim school most of the summer and he's made so much progress.  We began the summer with him not letting go of me if we were in the water. Now he jumps in with his floaties, goes under water and is completely fearless in the pool!


 I finally convinced Craig that Riley absolutely needed a swing set in the backyard. Besides the brutal heat of a Texas summer, I think it's been a good investment- especially when friends and cousins are over.


 Father's Day came and went and Craig and Riley downed this cookie cake (almost) by themselves within 24 hours!


 Riley feeding the catfish in Louisiana- yes, this pond is almost dried up!
 Eating popcicles with Papaw.



 Thank goodness for leather couches!



 Riley rarely eats the cookies I bake, but he sure loves making them! I think it's the dough.
 Fourth of July fireworks.

I'm so glad you posted new pictures of Riley. He is getting so big! I love his cute smile--he smiles from ear to ear! He really gets a kick out of life--I love that!
