3 Months Old!!!

Riley is three months old now!!! I can't believe how fast time has flown by!! He's so big!! We went to 'Penny's today to get some portraits taken and he did just wonderfully. It was so hard to choose which was the best one!! We found a cute shirt for him for the pictures, it has a patch on it that says "Park Ranger in Training" - so he can be just like Mommy!!! (And there is one on the shoulder that says "Montana Parks & Rec" - For his Great-Uncle Bud!!) Here are some pictures that Mommy took today in his new shirt!

Home Again

We made it home ok!! Riley did wonderful on the flight again!! What a busy weekend!! He had fun playing with his cousins yesterday, and his Aunt Anna Saturday night! He has recently discovered his hands, and spends a lot of time staring at them. You can see pictures under the kodak gallery on the right. Enjoy!!

Indy Visit

Well, we made it to Indy alright! Riley was the perfect baby during the flight! The lady sitting next to us gave him a huge compliment after we landed. Mommy nursed him during take off and landing to help him pop his ears, and then he slept the morjority of the rest of the flight. Luckily it's only 2 1/2 hours. Let's hope the flight home is just as smooth. Riley has had a super busy time here!!! Poor thing is absolutely exhausted. Thursday was crazy from the flight, then yesterday we went and visited many people. He got to meet his Aunt Anna, Grandpa Wilson, and lots of other family members on his Mommy's side, along with all the people that Mommy used to work with at Arlington. Today we are just relaxing (we all need a time-out), and maybe visit Adrianne, Matt and Riley's new girlfriend Sophia. Then he gets to stay with Aunt Anna while Mommy and Daddy go to "Uncle Tim's" wedding. Tomorrow is another busy day, with meeting everyone at church, and all of Daddy's side of the family. We've taken lots of pictures, but probably won't have time to upload then until we get home. Look for a new Kodak album by this time next week with all the pictures!!

Hi All!! School started today :( Riley did well at the babysitters, he wouldn't take a bottle, but didn't fuss to much- he just went to sleep. And it helped that it was a short day at class. The first day is kind of like that. Mommy did good too!! No tears on her end!! Tomorrow is the long day though. Thankfully one class is in the evening so Daddy gets to spend some time with him!! Only a couple more days until our trip to Indy!! I'm sure we'll have tons of pictures then. Can't wait to see everyone!!

Big Boy!!

Riley's a Big Boy Now!!! Today during his "tummy time" he pulled his arms under him and sat resting on his elbows for quite a while!! Long enough for Mommy to get some pictures!! It was so exciting!! He also kicks his legs up pretty far, so I'm sure he'll start rolling over soon.

Things are still going great!! He's slowed his eating down to about every three hours (which will be good when Mommy's school starts), and is taking a bottle more consistantly now! He is still sleeping great at night, between 6 and 8 hours, with a couple of off nights here and there. Daddy is not to happy about changing diapers right now, he said Riley's poopy is getting smellier and stinkier!! But Mommy doesn't think so - she's gotten some bad ones at times too!!! Just a little over a week until Riley's first Airplane ride!! And the chance to meet the rest of his family members!! Yeah!! Let's hope everything goes smoothly for everyone!!

Riley had a busy weekend this weekend!! We went to the Larimer County Fair on Saturday. Riley got to meet all sorts of animals: cows, pigs, goats, sheep, horses, rabbits, chickens and even alpacas!! He was such a good baby, and very interested in all the things going on around him. Of course by the end of the day he was so exhausted he cried the whole way home trying to go to sleep. But he seemed to enjoy it, and Daddy got a free massage and chiropractor exam out of it!!

Mommy starts school in two weeks, so we went to see Riley's babysitter today. She and I used to work together at CSU, and she's only working part time now, so it worked out great that she needed extra money and had extra time, and we needed a babysitter!! Thankfully it will only be for about 10 hours a week (just during my classes) so we won't break the bank, and she lives close to campus so it's very convenient. So we are just relaxing (inside in the A.C.!!) until school starts and we go to Indy for a visit!!! Yeah!!

Yeah!! Riley Finally took a Pacifier!!! It was only for a moment, but hopefully now he has figured it out and we can use it more often!! Last night he was a fussy little man and Daddy gave him a 5 oz bottle (more than he has ever had from a bottle). He finished it very quickly and still wanted to suck, which is usual. So we gave him the paci, and he sucked on it for about 3 minutes!!
