Grandma's Birthday Surprise

Riley, the Brads, Aunt Sarah and I secretly plotted a birthday surprise for Grandma Watkins for over two months and were able to pull it off successfully on Thursday. Riley and I flew into Boston Wednesday night and drove over to Syracuse Thursday morning with Aunt Sarah. We then surprised Grandma a work with Miss Riley and some pastries from Mike's. Grandma W. was SO excited to see her grandbaby and we were amazed that we were able to surprise Grandma for the first time ever.

Looks like Riley's more surprised than Grandma!

Riley can't believe we actually pulled off the surprise.

Riley was such a good girl on her first flight.

Happy Easter

The past week + has been pretty busy here in KC. Riley visited her Daddy at work again and printed her very first ticket. We've also become regulars at library Story Time AND we got to spend Easter weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Mac.

Riley's excited because the Easter Bunny stopped by our house.

Mommy couldn't resist this Target headband.

Fluffy Tush + Baby Tankles = Good Times!

Success!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Mac!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Mac! We wish we could celebrate with you in Michigan, but are SO excited that you are coming down to KC on Thursday for a visit!!

I'm sad because I have to hug this sign instead of Grandpa.

Go Vols Go!

We'll be rooting for the Vols today in their SEC semifinal match-up against Arkansas.

Viva Spring

Yesterday was such a beautiful day here in KC--sunny and in the 70s. We went for a couple walks, attended story time at the library and brought our jumper to the back deck for some sun while we waited for Daddy to come home from work. Here is a little video and some pictures of Riley showing some attitude in the jumper. We also have some pictures of Riley wear our favorite "bear suit" sleeper for the last time (it actually should have been retired weeks ago, but Daddy just couldn't let go).

Selecting our next victim.

Bounceroo

Riley has been so bouncy and high energy lately that we decided to get her a new activity jumper. She passed out in the car on the way to the store and stayed asleep in the pony bouncer until it started to make loud galloping and whinnying noises. Her expressions were so priceless! In the end we ended up with the Baby Einstein which she is loving.

I guess this model is too boring.

Uh, where am I guys?

Taking our new toy for a ride.

We take our music quite seriously.

On the Move

Riley has been a rolling machine the past few days. Mainly just back to stomach though. She loves hanging out on her tummy! She's also doing the caterpillar scoot thing and spinning around on her tummy. Here are some pics from this week and a quick video of her rolling over this morning.

Riley loves her sweatsuit from her cousins.

Someone has stinky pants!

We're such a good sport.

You would think that she'd be used to the flash by now!

Mid-Roll

Riley LOVES her bunny cuddler.

What chubby cheeks you have!

Finally got around to hanging Riley's tapestry.

We sure are curious.
