Riley...

I'm sorry the blogging has been once a week lately...I'm trying mom! We are constantly up to something which is fun, but sometimes exhausting too! This weekend we were able to hang out with our first neighbors in Arkansas, Thomas and Hayden, and there little boy Will at their new house...they were blessed with their second little boy yesterday, Gibb! We also went to one of Christopher's soccer games and they won with the only goal scored in the last 2 minutes of the game. We also had our last small group for the season and Jason and I helped lead as we talked about the personality traits of families and what kind of legacy we want to leave for our children...all this stuff we have to think about now that we are parents! Monday night we went to Jason's softball game and went out to eat with the gang...it made it feel like it was still the weekend which was nice.

We are constantly overwhelmed by how easy Riley is to take care of...she is just all fun! In fact we received an outfit that says "Patience Tester" on it and when I got it I felt guilty even considering putting in on her because it's so not the case with her, but it was a really soft outfit so we have dubbed it as a set of pajamas so that she's not wearing it in public...we are so silly! She has been doing great eating cereal although her little body has had a hard time adjusting, but we are working through all of that. I think next week we will try some actual baby food and see how she does! She is also working on sitting up on her own...she still has a ways to go, but I think she likes the view from up there rather than laying down.

Mom and Riley...relaxing after Jen's shower!

Naps with Dad will always be a special time for her and Jason...this is what I came home to Tuesday night...how sweet! Do you think she's gotten bigger...compare to the picture below taken in January!
