Amazing...

Just a little update...Riley is doing wonderful! She is now drinking her milk out of a cup without any issues so the night time bottle is gone ~ no more bottles. She did not really seem to care so that was nice. She is so much fun to play with these days. Yesterday we tired out "My Gym" which Riley loved, she had so much fun playing and running around; now we just have to decide if we are going to join. It made me realize how independent she is becoming. She had no problem just exploring everything, she did not seem to care where I was. We spent the weekend hanging out with Christy (our friend from Georgia), she was out here for a few days and we had lots of fun!!

Now for the amazing part...as of now Riley does not have too big of a vocabulary, but today her new word was "Haleigh" (for those of you that don't know that is Matt's sister). Haleigh is not the easiest name to say, but apparently that did not stop Riley. I will try my best to get it on video, because it is really cute!!

Look at Me Now

This weekend we turned Riley's seat around in the car and boy does that make her happy. The first time Matt sat her in her seat like this she had the biggest smile on her face. It is also nice for us, because now it is much easier to see her when driving.

Our Little Cutie

Well, I have a very cute video of Riley that I have now tried to post 3 different times without success. I don't know why it is not uploading, but I will keep trying, but for now I will just add a cute little picture. Not much new here...Riley is doing great! She LOVES being outside, I think she could spend all day out there. We have stopped all bottles except the one right before bed, I don't think she really cared about the others. We were having a little bit of an issue getting her to drink milk out of a cup, but now she is doing much better so I think the night time bottle will go away soon too. (She is growing up so fast.) She is a good little eater and really LOVES fruit, any kind will do: strawberries, blackberries, bananas, pears, peaches, apples; I think you get the point. She is so much fun and we just love her so much!

Our Weekend Away

The weekend of Jan 30th to Feb 1st Matt and I went to San Diego for a work function and left Riley with MiMi and Grandpa (Matt's parents). I was a little nervous about leaving her, but it went just fine (although, by Saturday night I REALLY missed her). The weather in San Diego was beautiful! Friday Matt had a few meetings so I took advantage of my free time; I got a manicure and a pedicure, read a little, and took a nice long nap before our dinner. It felt really nice to relax all day. Then Saturday we had lunch at a place on the beach, it was wonderful! We had a dinner party that night and Sunday enjoyed breakfast at the beach and then came home just in time for the Super Bowl.


The view from our patio, it was awesome!

A nice walk along the beach!

Saturday's dinner party - it was a costume party - the theme was "Pirates"!
