He is so darn cute!

He is so cute he is even cute when he cries! Also recognize the power of the pacifier. Infants have a need to suck. They are all born with this need and it helps them soothe themselves (they can't each chocolate or drink wine)...so they suck their pacifier or their thumb.

New Video for Daddy

Michael complained that there was no picture of his son in yesterdays blogpost, so here is some video from last night. Riley was wide awake at 11:30 pm last night and he was quite active so here is the video I took. Last week Riley discovered his hands and his tongue so he has been playing with both a lot and I was trying to capture it on film, instead I caught one of his other favorite tricks...

Riley's First Playdate

Today we got together with my friend Kristin and her son Hudson. Kristin and I have been friends since the 6th grade, and she and her husband live in Pensacola. Hudson is turning one in February...and is really the cutest thing EVER! It was so much fun to watch him crawl all over the place. It was also so very scary to see how full our hands will be next year. He was just full of energy and all smiles. Can you believe those blue eyes?

Must Have

I could not survive without this handy little item. Riley has his first head cold, and a snotty infant is no fun. He gets upset about the congestion, and even more upset about the bulb syringe, but he calms down after he realizes he can breath again.

Riley is one very lucky young man and he has all of his great grandparents on the Godwin side in his life. And here there are all together! From left to right we have Mr and Mrs Otts (Mrs Godwin's parents) and Mrs. Johnson, and Mr. Johnson (Mr. Godwin's Parents). Mr. Johnson, would be Earl, who Riley is named after. He is so blessed to have so many people in his life who care about him so much, and above are four of his biggest fans.

Great Grandmother Sadie

Above is a picture from Christmas. This is Michael, Riley and me with Sadie. Sadie helped raise not only Michael, Liz and Mary, but also Mrs. Godwin and her three sisters. So RIley is her first great grandchild.

4 Generations

So Riley is the fourth generation on my side of the family. Here is a picture of me, my Mom, my grandfather, Pocky, and Riley. I also have pictures of Riley with his Great Grandparents on the Godwin side of our family and I will post those as soon as I have my old computer files integrated onto my new computer.
