"Thought I would let everyone know that I am still walking good. I have now learned to squat too. Sometimes when I'm naughty I walk right up to the cable box and turn it off and on repeatedly, its kinda one of my new favorite things to do. Mommy and Daddy don't seem to like it though....sometimes I get kinda naughty!"

"I know how to walk!!!!!"

"Well I decided that I needed to walk all by myself. I have been praticing everyday and I CAN DO IT!!! I think I might get to eat a cheeseburger now! I just get to walk everywhere now!"

New toys + Daddy=giggles!

"This week I got a whole bunch of new toys! I got a new tricycle and I learned to stand up without holding on to anything! Then daddy came home and I was so happy. I love my daddy, he is so funny! Tonight for dinner I even ate Spaghetti for dinner."

"Have You Met Joe Cool?"

"Hi guys! My favorite thing to do these days is to cruise around and practice walking. I am getting pretty good. I am pretty much a cool dude now!"

GIGGLES! (Turn up your volume on your computer)

"I am in San Diego and I am having some fun. Last night in our hotel, I got the case of the giggles. I'm pretty big now."

SAN DIEGO

We just returned home from our mini-vacation to San Diego. We took Riley to Seaworld. He saw sharks and a dolphin show. We ended up getting a year pass for him so we will be going back for more. In May, Seaworld is opening a new exhibit called Bay of Pay with Elmo! We stayed on the beautiful San Diego bay and watched big ships come in and out of the port. We also went to Mission Bay which has a boardwalk and a gorgeous beach. The whole family really fell in love with the San Diego area. It is about 90 miles south of us, so it is not a bad trip. Riley really seemed to enjoy the indoor pool and spa at our hotel. He used his new turtle to swim around the pool and giggle. Overall, it was a really neat trip and we can't wait to go back!

9 MONTHS OLD!

Riley is now 9 months old and almost walking! When we hold one of his hands he walks along side of us. It is hilarious when he gets going, he literally runs! We took him to the doctor a couple of days ago, because he has been really crabby lately. The doctor gave him a clean bill of health. The doctor noticed Riley has 4 big molars coming in on top, and two more on the bottom front. He has 6 teeth coming in at once! We have tried to keep him comfortable and busy! His hair is also getting long and looks to be mostly blonde, light brown.

Daddy's Home!

Riley was so happy to see Dad! The minute Matt got in the car, he was all smiles and giggles! He sure is a daddy's boy!
