First Smiles

I've been trying to capture Riley's smile for the last few weeks, but everytime I bring the camera out, she's mesmerized by it and stops smiling. Maybe she'll grow up to be a photographer like Mommy! She loves to smile and coo lately which is so much fun. You can't see her dimples very well in this picture, but she has two of them...one on each side.

Note: See her auburn hair coming in on the sides. I hear babies lose their hair but so far she hasn't lost any. Instead, she's actually growing hair which is coming in an auburn color. Exciting to see what color hair and eyes she will have. So far her eyes are turning more blue.

Baby Fashion

Baby girl clothes are so much fun! Here's a few of her latest outfits.

First Mother's Day

I had my first Mother's Day which was wonderful! The day before I went to the spa for a massage with my Mom. On Mother's Day, we drove down to have lunch at the Olive Garden to meet Grandma, Grandpa and Great-Grandma.

2 months

I can't believe Riley is 2 months now! Time flies! Here's a few updates on her:

• Her hair is starting to get some red/auburn in it, but it's still brown.


• She is smiling and cooing a lot now and loves to have cooing conversations.


• She no longer likes to be held like a baby in the cradle position and now would rather be carried upright so she can look at everything.


• She still doesn't like car rides, but will usually fall asleep if we get on the freeway for long stretches. Hoping she grows out of this!


• She is growing like crazy and is almost out of 3 month clothing.


• She is starting to sleep through the night a little more...usually 4-5 hours.
