busy time!

Guess what!! I got my sled!! Check me out - aren't I just the cutest thing!! Mommy and Daddy took me up to the mountains last weekend to get some pictures, and I got to play!! Daddy pulled me around in the Deeeeeeepppp snow!! It was so cold out, but I was nice and cozy in all the layers that Mommy made me wear!

Go Faster Daddy!!
WEEEEEEE!!!
I like to drag my hands in the snow, but Mommy doesn't like that - she thinks my hands will get too cold! I get to play in my sled again this weekend, cuz we are gonna go pick out our Christmas tree!!! Yeah!! I want a really really really big tree - like Daddy, but Mommy says no. She says she doesn't want the tree taking up half the living room, plus we don't have enough lights and tinsle for it if its too big. Mommy's glad that I'm not crawling yet so that she doesn't have to babyproof the tree. In fact, Mommy and Daddy don't think that I will crawl at all - they think I will just go straight into walking (because of how much I hate being on my tummy so I never get to practice). But I'll show them - HA!!

So I went to the Doctor for my 6 month check up today!!! Hard to believe that I'm half a year old already huh!! I'm so big!! I weigh 16 lbs, and 4 1/2 oz. and I'm already 27 1/4 inches!!! I'm just Mommy's little Giraffe!! Dr. says that everythings good, and I can start regular meals and foods now!! That means Fruit!!!

Only one more week of missing Mommy!! She has so many projects that she's always working on. But they will all be done really soon!! and then we get to go to INDY!! Yeah!! I get to see Grandpa and Grandmas again!! (oh yeah, and everyone else too) :) What a busy time of year!!

Snow!!!

Yeah!! Snow!!! Guess what! We got about 3 inches of snow last night, so me and Mommy went out to play in it today!! Here's some pictures of me in the snow!

Hey- Mom - What did you do with my hands?!?!
Then the doggies came out to play with us!! They loved it, well, Mowgli did!! He ran so many circles and for such a long time!!
But Piper doesn't like the cold, or Mowgli running around, so she just sits by the door and waits to be let in. Party Pooper!
We had so much fun, until Mo-Mo got snow on me. Mommy said that she wants to get me a sled to pull me around in the snow when we go get our Christmas Tree. That sounds like fun!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Hi Everyone!!! Things are going good here in "Riley Land"!! I am getting to be such a big boy!! You wouldn't believe it! Mommy says that 5 Months is my Magic Number - because everything has changed for me!! Here's just a few things that I do now:

Love My Paci!!! Mommy got me some new ones too!

Love my Baths!! I like to kick my legs and splash the water!! (Check out those ears!!)
Sit up all by my self!!! (but usually only when I have a toy in front of me)
I'm Such a Big Boy!! Turkey Day is coming - and some snow -Finally!! Daddy is sad though, because it probably won't be a lot of snow for us in town, but maybe in the mountains!! Mommy and Daddy have already made plans to take me up there for some pictures next weekend. Mommy got me a cute little Santa Suit to take some pictures for Christmas cards in, but the hat was too small for my big ol' head - so she just made me one!! Didn't she do a good job!! (Daddy wants one now too!) She got enough fabric to make a stocking for me that matches. I can't wait for Christmas!! In two weekends Mommy and Daddy are taking me to Red Feather Lakes to cut down my first Christmas tree!!! Yeah!!! I'm so excited!! It will be so much fun!!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! I'm thankful for My Mommy and Daddy, and those big, silly white things that bounce around the house - and keep me entertained!!

Hey everyone!!! Look at me!! I can roll over now!!! Look at me go!! Yesterday Mommy refused to help me, ;_( so I decided that I had better learn how to do this all by my self!! So I did!! Now if I can just figure out how to go the other way!?!? I had a fun weekend! I spent a lot of time with Daddy while Mommy worked on a big project for school. We had so much fun! We went shopping, and played, and Daddy let me take naps on him! (Mommy doesn't do that anymore). Last night we went to a Thanksgiving Dinner Party at Mommy's friend Leslie's House, and I was the center of attention!! But Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let me have any turkey. I can't wait until I'm done with all this cereal stuff and I can eat Mommy and Daddy food!! Thank goodness Mommy only has a couple more weeks of school for this semester - I miss her!! It seems like she's always busy!! But I like it when I get to go to school with her to work - there's lots of nice people there to play with!! Mommy calls them professors! Whoever they are, they are always happy to see me!! I still haven't cut a tooth yet, but the pain isn't so bad right now. It kinda comes and goes, but I still like my "popsicle" toy!! Mommy gives me an ice cube in it every morning - and it's yummy!!

First Real Food!!

Guess what I got!! I got to eat real food this week - well, kinda real! I had some Rice Cereal. It was yummy!! I didn't eat a lot the first day, because Mommy had just fed me and I wasn't really hungry, but yesterday I was hungry - and I ate a lot!! There's a new video of it, and here's my first bite:

It took me a while to get the hang of it!!!
Daddy fed me some too. I like this whole real food thing. The spoon was fun to chew on!
But I think I liked the bib best!!
Also, I'm cutting my first tooth! It is very painful, and I scream a lot!! Mommy doesn't like that. Thanks to Auntie Adrianne for all the help!! I love my new "Popsicle" treat!! I suck on three or four ice cubes a day in it!! I also like it because it's nice and messy - just like me!! hehehe. Well, things are getting busy again. Mommy has a lot of work to do at school for the next few weeks, so she says I get to play with Daddy and Katy a lot for a while!! Yeah!!! But as soon as she's all done, we are taking another trip to Indy to visit!! My Grandmas and Grandpas will be so surprised at how big I am!!
