First Photo Shoot- 2 weeks

Riley had her first photo shoot at 2 weeks. She was wide awake for the first photo shoot and didn't want to cooperate, so she had a second shoot a few days later. Luckily she cooperated for the second shoot.


The photos were taken by Jessica with Epic Life Photography (www.epiclifephotography.com). She is an AMAZING photographer and did such a wonderful job with Riley. She brought props and her traveling studio to our house for the shoot, which was nice to stay in the comforts of our own home. I highly recommend her!

4 weeks


Wow! I can't believe that Riley is 4 weeks already. Time flies!! She is doing very well and is such a sweet baby.


Our days mainly consist of her eating and sleeping, with short amounts of tummy time, reading, walking around and talking to her, bouncing on the big exercise ball (which is her favorite thing to do), dancing around while we listen to a mixture of 90's hits, today's hits, country and rap music while I sing along (Comcast cable is great for this!), babyrobics where I use the step in our living room for low impact step aerobics while she bounces around with me and falls asleep.
Riley Fun Facts:
1. She now weighs 9 lbs. 3.5 oz
2. She is just starting to coo
3. She sleeps through our dog barking or whining (which is great! she must have gotten used to the sound in my belly)
4. She wakes up every 2 hours to eat both day and night...3 hours if we're lucky
5. She grew out of her first newborn outfit

Riley's First Easter


Visiting with Great Grandma Gwen.


Family on Easter Day





Here's a photo of the Easter basket that I made for Riley. I took a basket that I already had, and then wrapped ribbon and a bow around the handle. Then I took some extra fabric from the quilt I made for her and used it as the lining of the basket.






Riley had a great first Easter...mainly slept through it all. We took our first short road trip down to the Seattle area to visit family.

Baby Bunny

Grandmama (AKA Grandma Sue) knitted Riley the CUTEST bunny hat! So I did a little photo shoot with Riley in her new Easter bunny hat. Isn't she so cute!
