Riley Falling Asleep in Funny Places

 This is the first time Riley fell asleep during lunch.  My parents have these kind of photos of us and its so funny to get the same kind of photos of my own.  Love it

A couple of days later- funny again

This was today I was doing something on the computer and turned around to check on Riley and this is what I found so funny!!!

Update on Riley

Last night for relief society we talked about blogging and the presenter said that one of the reasons that she blogs is to write down what her kids do funny so... I am going to start writing down things that Riley does so I can look back and remember.
Riley has progressed so much in the last month and a half.  We have him enrolled in Kids on the Move. They are helping him catch on in some areas.  In the month and a half that we have been working with him, he has began getting into sitting position by himself, getting on his feet and cruising along the couch.  He is saying dada and moma. The funny thing is, is that he was first saying dada and for a long time we couldn't get him to say moma but once he started saying moma we couldn't get him to say dada.  So when Shawn would prompt him to say dada he would say mama instead.  ( Shawn thinks I have croupted  our son):)  The biggest thing Riley has done this week is starting to wave.  It is so adorable!!

Its Riley first birthday today. I can't believe its been a whole year. As I look back on the year I am amazed that we made it through but also that it went so fast. I feel so lucky that I am Riley's mom. I always known I wanted to be a mom but I love the experience I have had being Riley's mom. Life has changed so much over the year, and its changing all the time still.

I have made a list of funny little things that Riley does or his little quorks.

1. Sense birth he has always crossed his ankles.(so cute)

2.He loves shoes, he chews on shoes even if they are on your feet

3. He always smiles and giggles when I get him up from his naps.

4. His favorite toy is a soda box, string and folders

5. He know when he is somewhere he is not suppose to be because he giggles at you and then tries to get away

6. he uses mom as his personal jungle gym

7. He loves books...to chew on

8. He loves riding in the car

9. He has a special smile and giggle when he sees Grandpa Hehl

10. He is a very good baby...I think I got spoiled

These are pictures from the last year I can't believe how much he has changed.

I love my ONE YEAR OLD!!!!

Three Year Anniversary

I can't believe it but Shawn and I have been married 3 years today!!! I can't believe that it has been that long. I am so grateful for him and all he does for our family. We were looking at our wedding album and telling each other how young we looked on our wedding day. Shawn is a great husband but he has hit it out of the park with being a dad!!!! As Riley has grown this year I can't express the happiness I feel when I see Shawn and Riley share a small little moment together. I can't wait to grow even more as Shawn and I share eternity together. I love you Shawn!!!

Riley starting to crawl

Its been a long time since I have blog. But I thought this is something to blog about. Riley is starting to figure out how

to crawl. It is so cute how he is trying to figure it out.

He on his stomach... ( I love the face he gives me.)

Stretches his arms out

and gets on his KNEES!!!

He only stays there a second and then goes back to his stomach. Its fun seeing him figure it. I love it!

Riley spit up on Daddy

Funny story ready.....

Shawn got Riley up from a nap one day and Riley burped really loud in Shawn's face. I told Shawn that he had fallen asleep while nursing and to be careful. The next thing I knew is Shawn is lift Riley up in the air over his head. (do you know where I am going with this!!!!) I hear Shawn say yuck!!! I turn and see that Shawn had spit up in his hair, on his face and cloths. Shawn told me to get a burp cloth but instead I just sat there and LAUGHED!!! Then I went to get the camera. So enjoy!!!

My two boys together. I love both their faces!!!

A close look at the DAMAGE!!!

Riley's Funny Personality

Riley has grown up so fast. I can't believe that he is almost 6 months old. Here are some pics of him through the last month.

Riley has began playing with things. We got this play center for Christmas from my mom. He loves playing in it.

I love seeing him explore the world around him.

Riley is beginning to put things in his mouth. Including my mom's chin!!!

January Fun

OK I haven't blog in awhile and Riley is being good right now so here I go. A lot has happened during this month. We started with a drawn out ear infection for Riley that lasted three weeks. But we got through it nicely. I am so lucky that my baby is so happy all the time the only time that he cries is to eat and at night when it is almost time for bed. I am trying to get off my butt and do things with my day instead of watching TV all the time. I feel really bad when my sweet husband comes home from a busy day and I have nothing to report about my day. Riley is sleeping through the night which is fantastic for Shawn and I. I have a perfect baby!!!!

I can't beleive it but Ashley is getting married and I am so excited for her. I know this day would come that I would have to share my sister but I want more time with her. I am blessed to have a sister like Ashley and she has to hang out with me because I am her sister. But I love her to death and I am so grateful that she found a guy like Bryson to marry so I won't have to worry about her. While I don't know if that is what most people blog about but this blog is my family's so who cares.
