Bikini Babe

Her new favorite thing is grabbing her feet and playing with her toes.

5 month Photos

My friend had this cute little wagon, so we took it to Whatcom Falls Park for a baby photo shoot. They were excellent. It's so fun to see Riley smiling so much. Finally I'm able to take photos of her smiling without her being obsessed with staring at the camera. I think she's getting used to me taking so many photos of her.

5 months

On August 11th Riley turned 5 months. Time flies!! This is such a fun age because she's a lot more talkative, smiley and interactive. Our days are filled with reading, singing, playing on her tummy, with toys and in the exersaucer, walking, and running errands. Here are a few highlights...

• Weighs over 16lbs. and is in 9 month clothes
• Has 2 teeth with a third on the way, which means she drools A LOT!
• Still has blue eyes and two dimples, but has lost some of the red in her hair and it's now dark brown
• Has chubby baby legs with dimples for knees
• Loves to play in her exersaucer, read, sing, watch our dog run around the yard and play with her feet
• Rolls from her back to tummy both directions but can't figure out how to get back which makes her VERY upset
• Is eating solids- rice cereal
• Still isn't sleeping well and has actually regressed at night, waking 5-6 times, so still no sleep for us

4th of July Style

This post is a little late, but better late than never. Here's her 4th of July outfit. Unfortunately it was too cold to wear just this outfit so we had to throw on pants and a sweater. We went to a 4th party, where she met up with her other baby friends. Still to young to even notice each other but it was fun for the parents. Life has changed! I think our 4th ended around 8 and in bed by 9pm. More excitement next year when Riley...hopefully...sleeps better and we get more sleep and energy!

Bathing Beauty

Riley had her first swimming experience! The pool was a warm 85 degrees so no problems with the water being too cold. She seemed indifferent to swimming...didn't love it but didn't hate it. She played with water against her hands and seemed really comfortable. Looking forward to swimming again so she can wear her new polka dot bikini.
