PICS from the week of May 19th

Riley's new nickname is WILD MAN! He is 100MPH at all times. We make him take breaks to rest and he enjoys reading his baby books. Check out Riley's new post below this one

FUN TIMES!

" We went to Santa Monica and I got to go on some rides. I went on the carousel ride right on the pier overlooking the ocean. That was cool! Then mom took me to these water fountains where I got to run through the water and play with all the kids. I am almost one years old, I think that means I can play football soon!"

CAL POLY TRACTOR SHOW & GRANDMA!

"Hello! This last week Grandma Albertson came to visit and we had some fun. We went to a Tractor show and saw baby animals. Grandma bought me a new Radio Flyer wagon and we have been cruising around in that. I really liked spending time with my Grandma!"

Cinco de Mayo Party!

" I just went to my first Cinco de Mayo party and it was pretty fun. They had something there called a pinata and I got a yummy sucker. Then I played with all the kids at the playground. I also played in the sand, and I kinda started to throw sand too! For dinner I ate Mexican beans and rice. I met a new friend named Wyatt, who is one day older than me. We are going to get together and play soon."

OFF TO THE RACES!

"This week Aunt Carolyn came to visit and hung out with me. We had so much fun. We went to Huntington Beach one day and saw surfers. I walk around everywhere now, all by myself! I am 11 months old tomorrow."

Anna Maria Island

"Well I just spent almost three weeks on vacation. I had a lot of fun at the beach and in my new pool Grandpa and Grandma bought me. I am still walking really good. We went fishing and saw a baby Hammerhead shark. I ate a cheeseburger with Grandpa, and went shopping with Grandma. Grandma knows how to shop just like Mom! I spent many hours cruising around the island for chicks in my Elmo walker too.I had so much fun!"

"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!"
