Beach Time!

The last month has been mostly about swimming lessons. I am happy to say that we are almost done. Riley has done great and loves to swim. Almost too much sometimes! We spent a lot of time at Grama & Grampa's house swimming and playing with his new water/sand activity table.






 We spent a week at St. George Island on vacation with Pappy, Nana, Aunt Liz, Uncle Robbie, Great Aunt Sue, Uncle Tom and Aunt Gail. It was a wonderful and fun time. Riley really loves the beach. He tried to swim in the ocean just like the swimming pool. Ouch! Salt water is not good for the eyes. But Riley didn't care. Our house was right on the beach and it had a pool, which was awesome! Riley was in heaven.

At the beginning of the week, he started to babble more than he ever had before. And sure enough, he is starting to talk. When we would start laughing at something, Riley would just bust out laughing too. Tom and I can't believe how much he has grown up over the past 2 weeks. He is way more verbal. Last night, at dinner, we were listening to the radio, and Tom and I were humming to the beat of the song, and Riley starting humming too. It was sooo cool! Then a few minutes later, Tom burped (he's gonna kill me for this), and Riley "burped" too! We almost died laughing. He's never done that before. Too funny!!!

Can't wait to see what's in store for us over the next few months. He'll be two in less than 4 months.....WOW!
