6 Months and Counting!







Not even kidding, this is what Riley looks like when football is on; we tried giving her toys and she just ignored them.





Today my little girl is six months old! It's amazing how time flies; Riley has grown up so much!! She loves to stand and play in her bouncy (sadly, that means her chunky legs are thinning out), and she smiles and giggles all the time. Our favorite new trick: she growls! We always growl at her because it makes her smile; then one day she growled back! Imagine how surprised we were! She's learning what foods she likes--she doesn't eat much, just rice cereal mixed with some fruity stuffs, but so far she hates pear, tolerates apple, and loves banana. Even when she's being a grump, she's a pretty easy kid to have.


The past six months have been a learning experience for David and I! With David beginning a new job, and school starting for both of us, we're learning how to be parents and juggle everything. While it is sometimes crazy, neither of us would change a thing--life really is good! We love our little Riley-girl a ton, and being parents is the greatest. We wouldn't have it any other way!

She's so cute! I'm jealous that your place is big enough to have a bouncy chair thing. I'm sure Pen would have loved one if we could have had one. I bet Riley loves it :) I can't believe it's been 6 months. Crazy!

She is getting SO big! Addie and Ellie are fighting over looking at the pictures- so funny! You should try sweet potatoes- I don't now what it is about them, but I have never met a baby that didn't love them!

Such a little sweetie! Can't wait to see her again. And I agree with Whitney. Try sweet potatoes. All my kids loved them! Give her a kiss for me!
