Time to Travel

Riley and I are off to Kingsport for the rest of the week. Then, Andy and I are heading to NYC for five days. Andy is going to a design conference and of course I am going for the shopping and sightseeing. So, I will post when we return. I will leave you with these pictures:

If At First You Don't Succeed...

Learning to walk is such a difficult task to accomplish. Andy had a little fun with some video software...he linked together footage of Riley attempting to walk. As you can see, persistence is the key to success!!!

Family Picts

Thought I would upload a couple of family picts that were taken right before heading off to Riley's 15 month appointment. His check-up went well. He weighs 24 lbs 6 oz and is 32 in long. He only received one shot today, the TDaP. He was supposed to receive the MMR and Varivax shot but Andy and I have made an informed decision to put off these vaccinations for a year or so. With so much controversy over whether or not there is a link between MMR injections and autism, we figure better safe than sorry. Besides, children receive so many vaccinations before they are even two!!!

Playtime

Riley still likes to play with the fish bowl from time to time...

But, the most fun is had with the Big Spiderman ball!

Giddy Up Cow

A friend of Riley's mamaw Harris gave him this cool rocking cow. He hasn't really figured out how to get on it by himself, but he'll stay on it for a little while if you put him on it. What makes him laugh is when I rock the cow back and forth while singing, "Giddy Up, Giddy Up, Giddy Up Up Up...".

Flashback...the first month of life

I can't believe how much Riley has grown...just thought it would be fun to show a few pictures of Riley's first month of life.

Riley walks!!!

We FINALLY have a walker!!! I thought this day would never come!!! But anyone who knows Riley knows that he takes his sweet time.

UT Attire

We tried to get pumped up for Sat night's game by dressing in our UT gear. Unfortunately, UT lost. We still have high hopes for them though. Also, we wanted to put up a pict of mamaw Harris. She was great with Riley while he was sick last week. He is fine and dandy now!!!

This was filmed in July in Kingsport. He was in a very hysterical mood.
