Onesie Couture

My friend Emily has stated her own ETSY business called, "Onesie Couture", and Riley was lucky enough to get outfitted just in time for game day. If anyone was reading last year on this weekend, then you will know that Riley loves game day. So it was absolutely perfect that Emily sent him such a special onesie for his first season opener. We were is Pensacola, so Michael and I had packed his footballs for the weekend...Michael also brought his own football. (I guess you could say we were excited about football season in our household). Anyway here are a few pics of Riley from Saturday...he was asleep by the time Bama played...but don't worry his Daddy told him all about it the next day. In the fourth picture below you can see Riley clapping...he learned that on Saturday...what a perfect game day skill to have. He loves his new skill!!

Side Note for anyone who read about my football lessons a few posts back...I am going to need a few more lessons before I can follow what Michael is telling me about plays during the middle of the game.

Seriously successful shots in sucession...

The pictures below are some photos that my Mom captured of Riley and Grandcoy over the Blue Angels weekend in Pensacola. It is a perfect example of why I am saving all of my birthday money up for a fabulous camera like hers. And speaking of my birthday...it was yesterday and I officially decided to start lying about my age...will you buy 25?

Paci Addict

As you can see from this picture Riley is attached to his pacifiers. It has gotten to a point that I am dreading having to start weaning him from them. A month ago he would have sat for an hour or two happy without one, but not anymore. Yesterday when Michael went down stairs to get him from his crib first thing in the morning he found him with two pacifiers in his mouth! That is quite a feat. He could not keep them both in. But we are lucky enough that he can put the paci in his mouth, and we never get tired of watching him do that...it is so cute!

Things Riley Loves

These are two pictures of Riley and I reading after his bath, before his bottle and bedtime. I wish I could say it happens every night, but most nights he falls asleep by 6:00 or so and I do not have a minute to spare if I want to get the bottle in him before he falls out. But in the last two months during my bloging hiatus, not only has Riley started going to bed earlier, begun crawling and sitting himself up he has also grown to love sertain things, such as books. Books might be about the only kid oriented thing he adores, though his other favorites any parent will tell you kids love more than the best toys in the world...these favorites are paper towels, sunglasses, cell phones, and car keys. In fact when Riley first started doing his scoot we would put one of the aforementioned objects in front of him to get him to crawl. When he started crawling after books I was thrilled. Now if i can only get him to stop turning the page before I have finished reading it.

And video of his army crawl...
