The Little Things

We're off to a great start for the month of June! We've been hanging out with family, and swimming with our friends. What a great life! We are so blessed. Riley will be 18 months on Friday. Tom and I are so amazed at how smart he is. It's true what they say, a toddler's brain is like a sponge, soaking up everything in sight. He does something new all the time. Riley loves when Tom plays a SRV song on the electric guitar. He really rocks out, it's so cute! His molars are coming in and they look really painful! Poor little guy. :( Nothing that a little Tylenol and snuggling with Mommy won't fix though. He had peanut butter for the first time, and loved it! I am sooo excited to finally be able to fix him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch.

Oh, the little things...! :)

Now if I could only get him to eat his vegetables.

Summertime Fun!

The summer has officially begun! We have enjoyed tons of sprinkler time and swimming. Riley's favorite place to be is outside running around. By the time July and August get here, it's gonna be too dang hot to be outside. So, we are enjoying it while we can.

Tom and I took Riley to the Tallahassee Museum this morning to see the animals. His favorite were the horses. He didn't want to leave them. We saw a panther do a front flip and pounce a tree limb. It was so awesome!


Wow, it's cold!

Easter 2011

We had a wonderful Easter. Riley was so excited when he saw the basket from the Easter bunny. He really enjoyed finding the hidden eggs around the house. He didn't like the jelly beans that were inside the eggs, he spit them out real quick! Who knew, he's really not into candy and I'm not complaining! He did love the sugar cookies though. Thanks to Papa and Uncle Robbie for joining us for dinner.

March & April 2011

Keeping up with Riley is really hard work! He is busy, busy, busy! His favorite thing to do is to go outside and help water the flowers. He loves to smell them. Last weekend, he went outside with Tom, ran up to one of the flower pots, pointed, and said..... flowers! YAY! He really can talk!

Here are some pictures from March & April.




 
He loves to look at books
