Much Happier in the Buggy Today!

Not the best cell phone picture, but clearly he was super excited to be heading out on a walk to see the ducks!

Play Time

Riley has become very independent over the last several weeks, and can entertain himself for long periods of time with his toys.  We set up a long line of blankets in the family room, and he rolls all the way up and down the mats. He's on the move!

Think he has enough toys dangling from the activity gym?

Typical... gnawing on everything in sight!

What, Mom & Dad?

Chatting up a storm! Telling us about his day.

Fun in the Sun

We had some fun in the sun at Grandma and Grandpa's house on Memorial Day. Riley got in the "big" pool for the first time. He really liked it!! He does have extremely sensitive skin, and had a bit of a reaction to the pool chemicals so we may have to wait awhile before we try this again. This weekend he splashed around in the blow-up baby pool, and had a blast!!

Jump! Jump!

Riley's new favorite activity is "jumping" in his jumperoo and jumper.
Such a happy little guy!!

This is the new "jumperoo"... a big hit!

This is his jumper from Aunty Mere... he loved bouncing so much that we decided to buy the jumperoo. He's an active baby!

Workin' Man

I came back to work at JCPenney on May 5th, and Mr. Riley came with me! We are lucky enough to have a fabulous childcare facility in my work building, so Riley comes to work with me in the morning and spends the day downstairs. He has a GREAT group of teachers (his classroom came highly recommended), and loves his new friends. I also visit him several times throughout the day! I must say that the first day back was very tough, but we've been able to establish a routine now and are all doing very well.

Riley "working hard" at school

Riley gets to come up and visit my co-workers from time to time. He's a charmer!

The babies go on walks around the corporate grounds on this "train".  Typically, Riley has the time of his life but I just so happen to catch him when he was NOT happy in the train. Poor little Priyal sitting next to the screaming boy!

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'....

Riley is now a ROLLING MACHINE! The second I put him down on his back he begins rolling onto his stomach. It's actually a bit excessive, so we've had to set up a long line of mats and blankets in the family room that he can roll all the way down. He's so proud of his new skill!

On his back (only lasts about 2 seconds)

Then he sits there like a little turtle and can turn his whole body around.... I'm afraid he'll really be on the move in no time!!

Holding Hands

Riley is a big hand holder. He enjoys sitting on the couch like a big boy, and holding my hand. Such a sweet little guy!!!

 CHEESE!!
