"Chronicles of Riley"

This latest entry is dedicated solely to Riley's growth through the last 5 months. It is really amazing how big she is now compared to when she was born. At her last pediatrician visit (4 month shots - ouch!), she was almost 14 pounds. At birth she was 7 pounds 1 ounce. She has come a long way! Her next visit to the doctor is in August (6 month shots).

This was Riley during her first week home. She is so tiny! Swaddling was really the only thing that would help her get to sleep and stay asleep, although for only 2 -3 hours before I would have to feed her.


3 weeks - In her Carolina outfit. Don't worry! I have a Clemson one too! GO TIGERS!

6 weeks - PJ doesn't really care for this picture, but I just love her St. Patty's Day outfit - especially the socks!

9 weeks - Meeting her Great Grandma Mauro (or GG as I call her). Riley looks so peaceful. Only a few minutes earlier she was screaming her head off!


10 weeks - I just love this picture of Riley. She had just had a bath so her hair was sticking straight up. She is such a cutie pie!
13 weeks - Some pictures we have made at Portrait Innovations. This was a 1 1/2 week process. The first time we went she had a meltdown and there was no stopping it. So, we had to go back the next week (or maybe it was 2) to finish up her pictures. They turned out really well!



Well that's it for now. I will have to finish the "Chronicles of Riley" tomorrow. I am a working mother, and I need some rest!
