cowlick

Daddy washed my hair one night and I developed a really bad cowlick. This was hilarious!!

Spring break at the lake

Riley and I went to the lake with Grandma and Grandpa for a few days during spring break. Rhett stayed at home and got some much needed R&R. It was too cold to get in the water, but warm enough to play outside some. It was just nice to get away.

Easter

We went and had Riley's pictures taken for Easter. Here are some of the best.

We also went to see the Easter bunny. Riley was excited to see him. When she finally looked his direction, she smiled, pointed, and said "oooh".

Crawling

After 12 1/2 months Riley has decided to start crawling. Just proof that they decide to do things in their own time. She is still pretty content sitting and playing with a toy but if she sees something see wants she will go and get it. The funniest thing she does is she will crawl over to Raider and will pet him and lean over and give him a kiss. She calls him "daaa" and points. I guess the "g" sound is lacking. She also is pulling up on the couch, coffee table, ottoman. She still likes watching Clifford. We can turn it on and within seconds she recognizes the opening song, turns around to the tv, and then looks at us with a big grin. She will "dance" and clap her hands to different music she hears from toys or the tv. She has really started to enjoy books.

Riley is 1

Riley had a wonderful birthday full of family, friends and cake! Riley loved her chocolate cake. This was the first time she ate real sweets. She managed to get the chocolate everywhere! We bought her a learning home and she loves ringing the doorbell over and over. She has enjoyed playing with all of her new toys and wearing her new clothes.
We went to see Dr. Watson for her year check up. She didn't really gain any weight since she was 9 months old but he didn't seem too concerned. She weighed 17lbs 6oz and was 28 inches longs. She got all of her shots. She can't turn around in her car seat yet. Maybe soon.
