"Chronicles of Riley - Part 2"

So where we're we......I think we made it to 11 or 12 weeks. Riley met her cousin Hannah for the first time. They are 9 weeks apart. Hannah was born 12/9 and Riley 2/8.


14 weeks - Riley is loving her new exersaucer. She is so small! We had to actually roll a blanket and place it behind her back to keep her up. Now she's jumping and pulling on everything!

15 weeks - Riley is as big as her bear, Millie. Aunt Josie got Millie for her. She's got to have a stuffed animal she can grow with! Too bad "Papa Bear" won't let her sleep with any toys in her crib.

16 weeks - I just love this picture of her. Her cheeks are so rosy!

17 weeks - It's amazing how big she has gotten. She can actually almost place hr feet firmly on the bottom of the exersaucer, and she is starting to reach out for things. Amazing!

18 weeks - First trip to the beach. She was NOT too happy about feeling the salt water on her little toes. The water was cold, but we just had to do it! The next morning it was very sunny!

19 weeks - Riley's first time in her high chair. She looks so small compared to the chair.


She's ready for a swim in the bathing suit her Aunt Brook got her. It's so cute, I want one for myself!

21 weeks - Riley's first 4th of July. She looks patriotic in her red, white, and blue. Next year, there will be fireworks!


23 weeks - Her first pool play date wit Kyle. They are not happy! The story goes like this - RIley splashed Kyle, he started crying, then she started crying. It was all over after that! It was the shortest play date in history!

My favorite picture of Riley to date. She is a Clemson girl, despite what her father thinks!

24 weeks - Here is Riley attempting to eat rice cereal for the first time. As you can tell she didn't know what to think of it at first! After a few more bites, she was ready for more.


25 weeks - Riley is sporting her first pair of sunglasses. My theory on this is - if they are important for adults to wear, why not kids?? We got these from http://www.babybanz.com/. Check it out!

This is Riley to date. Look for more to come. She is doing something different everyday. Today she rolled from her back to her stomach and then back to her back. She just kept on rolling until she got too close to the fireplace. Then I intervened! Still no teeth! That has been hard. Baby Orajel and teething tablets have been doing the trick. Anyway, stay tuned for more!
