9 Months

Riley is 9 months old. I can't believe it. He weighs about 18 1/2 pounds and is crawling absolutely everywhere. He loves our new ranch home because he can crawl all over. He has loved exploring his new surroundings and his favorite has got to be in the livingroom. I have a table with a tablecloth on it and he loves to crawl under there and hide and play with things.
He got his bottom two teeth right at 9 months and they came in without any tears, temp or fussy nights. Do we have a dream child or what! He says "Dada" quite frequently and just today started waving good-bye. He is a charmer and ladies at Target, Wal-Mart, Panera, and church just love him. All he has to do is put that big smile on his face and hearts melt.
And he loves being around the students. He went and did surveys with Griff and I Monday night. He sat and watched students go by for half the night and then after a while some of the Nav girls would take him and walk around with him and handout surveys. He loved it.


After we moved in my parents came out for a week to help us get settled. This helped soooooo much. I was able to unpack boxes and someone always had their eye on Riley. We got rooms painted, carpets cleaned, boxes unpacked and stuff put in its place all in a week. We couldn't have done it without them.


My mom got to give Riley a bath a couple times. He loves bath time, especially when he gets to splash around. He didn't like the ocean but he loves his bath.


This is my favorite picture right now. He loves the teething biscuits, obviously.
