WILL SCOOT FOR BEER

Yes, we are bribing our child with alcohol. (She still hasn't tasted any yet though)

May Days

Sorry for the long gap in posts. Miss Riley has been up to all sorts of fun things. We celebrated our first Mother's Day with a trip to Kauffman Stadium for Riley's first MLB game. Mother's Day weekend we also got to introduce Riley to her Aunt Lynn. It was a very quick visit, but we had such a great time! Riley is also really getting into scooting/creeping now. We already have our baby gates up!

I'm starting to get into everything!

Testing out the new patio furniture.

Mad at Mommy for not helping.

We got in one good "push" before we collapsed.

Check out the huge top Mommy sewed for me.

Mommy got a little carried away with her sewing.

I sit up so well on my own now!

Riley On The Go

Miss Riley is constantly on the move. She LOVES to run laps around her activity center. It's getting to the point were she doesn't even attempt to play with the toys. Here is a little clip we took yesterday.

The Many Faces of Riley

We survived our first tornado scare last night. The tornado warning phase of the storm really wasn't that bad, it was the nasty thunderstorms that followed that were a little scary. Riley didn't seem to mind a bit though. She just slept right through everything. Here are a few fun pics of the little Bean. We'll try to post a video a little later. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Riley only has eyes for her Daddy!

Happy Girl!

Mommy told a funny joke!

Carrots--YUM!

Hooray for Aunt Sarah

We were so lucky to have Aunt Sarah visit us for a whole week! We had so much fun sightseeing and just hanging out. Riley also had her big 6 month doctor's visit. She's now tipping the scales at 15 lbs. 6 oz. (40th per.), measuring at 26 in. (60th per.) and is sporting a HUGE noggin' (90th per.). Riley was so brave while getting her shots, but had a tough time afterward. Luckily Aunt Sarah was here to help Riley feel better! We're going to miss Aunt Sarah this week, but can't wait to get her and Uncle Brad back out here soon!

Celebrating the Draft with Daddy

Such a happy girl!

We're going to be walking in no time!

Let's Go Preds!

The Nashville Predators are taking on the Detroit Red Wings in the first round of the NHL Playoffs. Riley's first sporting event (in my belly) was a Preds game. Unfortunately we forgot to pick up some baby Preds apparel before we left town, so we had to fashion a onesie out of old Preds shirts. Can you guess which shirt we cut up? Here are some cute pics of us watching game 5 together. Right now we are waiting for the overtime period to get started...Go Preds!

Playing Catch-Up

Sorry it has been so long since our last post. It has actually been a busy couple weeks for us. Last Monday through Thursday Brad attended the NFL League meetings out in San Francisco. His hotel was right next to were the Olympic torch was supposed to end up. While Daddy was away Riley and I attended infant massage classes at our library--so much fun! Riley really seems to enjoy it. We had a very low key weekend. Riley tried barley cereal for the first time and can't seem to get enough of it. The weather has been unpredictable all week, but we're supposed to get a few great days this weekend. Hopefully we'll be able to bust out some of Riley's super cute Spring/Summer outfits!

We love to watch the washer and dryer!

Napping on Daddy

I'm mad because my pants are riding up on me.

It was so windy the brim on my hat got blown back.

What a happy bear cub!

I love to stick out my tongue.

Story time wore me out!
