Riley playing Catch

November 20th

Santa Baby!

As we waited in the Santa line and every kid in front us cried on Santa's lap I just knew my Riley boy wouldn't. I walked towards Santa and Riley grinned at him as he does everyone...until I placed him on his lap. He got the saddest face and started bawling! Fortunately, it didn't take much coaxing to get a grin through the tears...he just can't keep a smile off!

November photoshoot
















My talented sister-in-law (www.creativelychicphotography.com) took these pictures for us last month...these are favorites (which was EVERY one of Riley!)

My little helper

Yes, he is EVERYWHERE.

Halloween

Unfortunately I don't have a picture of Craig and me dressed up... I'm going to have to try and find one that someone else took. But lucky for you I have ones of Riley!
Our little monkey...



Trick or Treating was really fun for me because I have never lived somewhere that I could walk up and down the street trick or treating. Where I grew up we had to drive in our car because there weren't many close neighbors. So I lugged this kid up and down the street while Craig stayed home and gave out candy. Some would say I only did it so I could have the candy, and I would have to admit that's partly true. But don't worry...yes, I shared the candy with my 9 month old.

Here he is asking my why I've kept chocolate a secret for 9 whole months?
He's totally on board with this whole Halloween thing.


You would think from the following face he'd had enough...but no he cried when I wouldn't give him anymore.



9 Months correction

I've been meaning to post this for my own records... A few days after Riley's cardio appointment we had his normal checkup and the stats were a little different so I wanted to correct it for myself!

20 lbs 2 oz 50th percentile
29.3 inches 90th percentile
18.3 inches (head) 90th percentile
