3 months old wow

Well time is flying by I can not believe Riley is 3 months old today but I will say that I am kinda glad because of what happened last night. Riley slept from 11 to 7 and when he woke up he did not scream. It was funny because I woke up kind of in a panic and I had to make sure he was still breathing. I changed his diaper and he ate breakfast and now he is asleep again. He loves to smile and he laughs a little he loves it when u talk at a whisper and say Riley I'm gonna..........getcha. We took him to meet my extended family (the lewis side) last weekend and he was a big hit and I was a lot braver than I thought I would be as far as people holding him. Here are so more pictures enjoy....

I love this picture you cant help but smile when you see it

He always tries to fall over then smiles (he thinks its so funny)

Look at those cheeks

He looks like a little tough guy here

He loves to lay across my legs and hang his head over

12 weeks old

Riley will be 12 weeks old tomorrow and this weekend Riley had a couple of firsts. It was his first trip to the park and his first time wearing jeans. He had the best time and he was so good we even went to sticky fingers afterwards and he just layed in his stroller and watched us eat and he did not fuss or cry at all he just looked around and wanted to see and hear everything. I don't want to wish his life away but I can not wait until we can take him to a playground.

Almost 3 months old already

I can not believe that Riley is almost 3 months old. He is learning so much and he has such a personality already he is getting set in his ways.

He sits in his blue chair to eat his rice cereal and formula at night.

He loves taking baths

He tries to stand up and bounce.

He loves music.

He plays on his play mat by himself and keeps himself entertained.

He smiles and shruggs his shoulders (so cute)

He is starting to discover his voice.

He is a daddy's boy

He loves kisses and loves to cuddle.

He watches cartoons.

He only wakes up once a night now.

Oh also me and Kyle have decided to do baby signing with Riley so that way he can communicate before he learns to talk so thats going to be fun. Right now me and Kyle are learning and we use signs for everything we do like eating or changing his diaper or taking a bath. Well I guess thats all for now.

updates

Well I changed my layout again but I think this is better. As far as updates not a lot has happened but Riley is growing. He weighs close to 14 lbs and he is so tall. He really has not learned anything new except how to play me and Kyle. He will cry to be picked up and then when we walk to him he smiles so big and does this half primp thing so then we say "aw you don't need to be picked up, your faking." he smiles even bigger, its so funny. I am still doing the stay at home mom thing and I love it but I really do need a job but we are doing ok so far. Riley is almost 3 months old and it doesn't feel like he should be that old yet. I guess thats about it bye.

2 months already

I can not believe its been 2 months already. He is changing so much he smiles so much and he laughs its so cute I love it. Tomorrow he is going to get his shots. I don't want him to get upset infact he will probably be better than me. Oh and I tried something different for bath time, I decided to just get in the bathtub with him and it is so much easier and since I make the water deeper he lays back and kicks and splashes and has a ball. Well I guess thats it for now oh here are some pictures I took the first one is my favorite one.

new layout

I have decided to change the colors of my blog just for something different and i sat here trying to change all my post's font color but it is too time consuming so from now on they will be a lighter color but the older ones will stay gray. If you want to see them better then highlight them. off the subject here are a few pictures I took today....

Exciting News and Pumpkins...

Ok so I have big news. I quit my job today. I know that was a very gutsy move but I need something different and I did not want to leave Riley on monday so I have been job hunting and I found a few people who liked my resume and they said they would call me back so I will have a job soon. The reason I am leaving is because that place stresses me out in fact I left out of there crying 2 days before I had Riley and I don't want to come home every night sad, thats not fair to Riley. so anyway enough of that on to the pumpkins... we got 3 pumpkins and took pictures of riley with them...

Visitors

lunch date

Today Me and Riley went to Walhalla to eat with some of my girlfriends that I used to work with and he met Lexi for the first time they look so cute together.

Jennifer and Courtney (moms in training)

This Picture was taken the other day when me and Riley were playing on a blanket in the floor.

Riley is loving tummy time on his boppy.

My boys

Riley is almost a month and a half old and already has such a personality.

moby and hair cut

Well Riley is a month old and things are starting to feel normal and fall into place. I am still getting used to lack of sleep and not getting a lot done. Today I got a moby wrap and omg. I love this thing and when I put him in it he falls to sleep and I can do what I need to do. Oh and I got my hair did yesterday and I got the mom hair cut off. Well I think that is it for now bye.

4 weeks already

OMG its already been 4 weeks.... wow time goes by so fast when you have a baby. I can tell he is getting bigger and trying to do new things everyday. When I put him on his belly he is already trying to scoot and you can tell he gets mad he's not strong enough to crawl yet because he tries so hard to pick himself up. He catches his passy when it starts to fall out and he shoves it back in. I know that's not big stuff to a lot of people but it's a lot to me. Oh and I realized that when you are a mom you get excited over the funniest things and your topics for discussion change for example my friend told me that her daughter pooped for the first time since she was born and we were excited about it, and When he burps after he eats its like "yay finally". OK I also need to update a little about our house. We are still unpacking here and there and I don't have any room completely finished and the deck (or lack of one) is still needing work. Oh but me and my M-I-L went shopping and I got some new decor from old time pottery and the kitchen and living room is looking good. The only set back now is the stupid cable... due to the wiring from then people who lived here before us the signal is unstable and we are having to pay for new wiring so the Internet comes and goes so my updates are going to be few and far between but oh well. I think that is it for right now bye.

I think he looks like Mother Teresa in this picture lol

Riley's First bath

Riley had his first bath the other day (in the bathtub not sponge bath) and he likes the water running on him but he does not like to be cold so I don't know if he will like future baths or not we will see.
