Happy Halloween!!

Halloween is so much fun!! I can't wait until next year when I can go Trick-or-Treating!! Here's our pumpkins that Mommy and Daddy carved. Mommy's is on top (it's the girlie pumpkin), mine is in the middle, and of course Daddy's is the Jeep pumpkin!! Mommy also tried to toast some seeds in the oven, but I think she burned them, cuz it smelled really bad!

We got lots of trick-or-treaters tonight, more than Mommy and Daddy have ever had. But it helps when you live in a neighborhood with a lot of kids, and not in a third floor condo! Here's me in my pumpkin suit. It was really warm, and a tad small, so I didn't wear it for very long. Eventually Mommy let me out and I just wore my pumpkin hat.

Mommy dressed up like a kitty cat. And the doggies like to nip at her tail!! heheheMommy also made a white tiger mask for Daddy, so he wouldn't feel left out!! I liked it when Daddy played peek-a-boo with me in the mask. The trick-or-treaters thought the mask was neat!! Daddy even scared one of them!
Next year Daddy wants me to be Yoda. I don't know!! I just hope I can eat some of that yummy candy!! Maybe next year we'll get to go to Old Town Fort Collins for trick-or-treating.

Happy Halloween everyone!!

Moab!!

Wow - what a trip!! Everyone had a good time!! Unfortunately we only got to spend 2 full days in Moab, so we spent one in Arches, hiking and sightseeing, and the other in Canyonlands (Needles District). Friday was a beautiful day!! Sunny and warm, but not sweltering!! Saturday was pretty overcast, so it was a bit cooler. Riley did really good on the drive out (about 7 hours), but through the rest of the weekend he got really sick of being in the car. By the drive home, he was screaming almost the entire time!! Mommy and Daddy took turns sitting in the back with him to entertain him. We also took Riley on his first Off-road adventures!! Mommy was a little nervous, but Daddy reassured her that the trails were very easy ones. But she still took Riley out of the car during the tougher parts. We stayed in a camping cabin, (because they have heat) and found out that for Moab - that's the way to go!! The cabins have AC too for the summer, and after a long day in the desert elements, it's nice to have a mattress to sleep on and lights to turn on (rather than using flashlights and lanterns). It is a beautiful part of the country, and being there in October made it perfect!! (no more mid-July tips!!) We added a Kodak Photo album to the mix - because there were a TON of pictures, and even a couple of videos of Daddy Wheelin'. Enjoy - next up Halloween!! We are carving our pumpkins tonight!! (yes I know - cutting it a little close!)

More new friends - and a new Look!

Well, It was another exciting day in the life of Riley!! Today we finally got to go to Mommy and Daddy's childbirthing class reunion. Here's the whole group with all my new baby friends: I got along best with Issac, he was very playful!
He was a little insecure about his baldness, so I told him I was getting a haircut, and he could have some of mine!! ;)
So here I am getting my first haircut!
Mommy was a little nervous because she's only cut Daddy's hair (and he holds still better than I do!!) But I think she did a good enough job - At least I didn't come out with a Mo-hawk!!
So more exciting news to come!! On Thursday we are taking a trip to Moab, Utah!! I get to see lots of arches and canyons, and go hiking!! And Then comes HALLOWEEN!!! We went and picked out our pumpkins today. Mine is the smallest, and Daddy's is the biggest. We are going to carve them this week, and take lots more Pictures!! Talk to ya all later!!

New Friend!!

Riley got to meet his newest friend today, Greg. Greg lives across the street from us and is only a week old. He can't wait until Greg gets bigger so that they can play together. This weekend has been pretty cold, and we had to break out the long sleeve onsies, and warm crib blankets. We are glad that Daddy's home now, and it looks like there will be no more traveling for the rest of the year!! Yeah!!

Riley has been a Cranky-Butt this week. It has been difficult to get him to take naps, and then he is just cranky all the time!! But I think this weekend we got it figured out. We have crossed into the "scheduled nap time", instead of the usual "falling asleep when I'm tired time." So we have been putting him down for naps, not just letting him sleep whenever and whereever, and it has become a much more pleasant household!! We knew this time would come eventually!! Also, he seems very intrigued with Mommy and Daddy's food at dinner, and is becoming less patient during his meals, so I think we are going to start some solids next weekend. And Mommy is getting anxious to give Riley a haircut!! His hair is very long in front, and very short in back where he has rubbed it all off!! So we will probably try to even it out pretty soon - Look for lots of pictures!!

What a Day!!!

Riley had a VERY busy day today!!! We woke up early (well, earlier than usual), and went to CSU's Homecoming Parade. It was a lot of fun, for Mommy and Daddy. But it was a bit noisy for Riley. He really didn't like the trumpets in the marching bands, and the firetruck sirens. But he did enjoy watching all the people and all the movement!! By the time it was about 3/4 the way through it was well past his morning nap time, so we left early. Then we went to the Denver zoo (and he slept the whole way there!!) He really liked that!! We saw a ton of animals - almost all of them were out! And he even got to ride the Carousel!! It was a long day for everyone, and he slept the whole way home too! Then he went to bed almost 2 hours early!! Poor thing - he was exhausted!! Anyways we added a Photo album of our day to the Kodak Gallery, and a video from the parade (of CSU's Fight Song, and Riley scared of it!!). Enjoy them, we'll add some more videos after we get some sleep!!

Fun Times!

Hi Everyone!! Guess What!! My Daddy's Home!!! (but just for a couple of days before he goes out again.) I missed him so much!! There is a whole lot of things going on in my life right now!! I got a new toy!! Katy calls it an Exer-Saucer, I just call it FUN!!! Here I am in it, sucking my thumb - Oh yeah - I figured out how to do that too!!
Also, Mommy says I'm "teething", whatever that is. All I know is that I love to chew on stuff, my bibs, mommy's fingers, my rings, but my favorite is this blue shapes thingy - especially when mommy puts it in the Fridge!!
I would even chew on my little piggies, if I could get them in my mouth easier!! This morning Mommy caught me chewing on the toes of my pj's - 'cuz they stretch really well!!
Tomorrow is the Homecoming at Mommy's school, so I get to go to my First Parade!! It will be so exciting!! Then Mommy and Daddy are taking me to the ZOO!!! I get to see all kinds of animals - the real ones, not the fake ones like in my room. I am having so much fun!! And I think I heard something about a mini-vacation to Moab. I can't wait to find out what that is!!! Talk to you all later!!
