4 Months Old!!!

Riley is 4 months old today and in some ways it seems like time has flown, but in other ways it seems like it has been 4 months. Either way, we have LOVED every minute of having Riley in our lives...she is truly a gift from above.

Here are some things that Riley is doing at 4 months:

• Sleeping 8-10 hours a night


• Grabbing for all of her toys on her own with both hands and bringing them to her mouth


• Rolling over to her side


• Still on the verge of an oh-so-cute giggle


• Holding her head up all the time
• Noticing her feet and getting them closer to her face


• And last but not least...trying to hold her bottle all by herself and being successful at times!
  Here is video proof of Riley's bottle holding skills!

Riley has now successully taken her 2nd airplane ride and she did great! We fed her on the way up and she stayed awake the entire flight just playing away. She did manage to have a blowout diaper so we had a wardrobe change, but it was not a huge fiasco and we survived just fine! I guess that altitude can jumble up a little girl's tummy!

We are in Atlanta celebrating Grandpa Joe's 85th birthday...today the boys went fishing and caught lots of fish and the girls went shopping...a fun day! I will update with more pics soon!

Riley has also dealt with her first bug...and she's a trooper! Tuesday afternoon daycare called and said she hadn't been acting herself and was running a 100.6 fever. I asked for an explanation of "not acting herself" and they said she wasn't fussy at all she just wasn't smiling as much. She was eating fine and touching her ears didn't seem to bother her so the doc said to cure the fever with Tylenol and bring her in the next day just to check since we were about to travel. Jason took her in and they said she had a bug of some sort...her throat was really red. They said it would run its course and it has and she hasn't fussed one bit. I think she will be one of those kids that is REALLY sick before we even know it...tough little girl. She is already on the downside of the bug because she hasn't had fever in 24 hours and she hasn't been acting any different!
