Riley at five months old!

Yesterday Riley turned five months old! Time goes so fast it seems like just yesterday I was bringing him home. He has started to talk and babble so much and has almost mastered sitting up. He is such a joy and a very happy baby. I feel so blessed that Heavenly father gave him to Ryan and I, but don't most parents feel that way about their kids? My friend Carly took these amazing pics of Riley. He was pretty sleepy but iIthought they turned out awesome! This month she is trying to build up her portfolio so she is looking for people to photograph for FREE!!! So if you live in or near Rexburg let me know I will give you her info. She has a website it is carlysphotog.blogspot.com

Happy Anniversary!!!

Today is our two year anniversary! I am so grateful for Ryan! He makes me very happy:) Time flies it seems like just yesterday we were getting married and now we have been married two years with a baby! Crazy.

I found my pot of gold in the form of a little boy...

I know the title of this post is cheesy but hey you get creative when you post a lot. I haven't posted pictures of Riley in awhile. He is almost 5 months old! I can't believe it, time flies! This pic is when he was sick with a high temp. He was not a happy camper. This is him back to normal! We are so excited to be Buckeyes, even Riley! The best invention besides the pacifer,boppy, and diapers that can be thrown away. This is the ultimate toy for a baby.It is called the jumperoo. The first morning Riley saw it he just starred. When i put him in it and started bouncing it for him, he smiled and was still apprehensive. But now he does not want to get out of it! And when I hold him in my lap he wants to constantly bounce. Thank you Fisher Price!

This is his male model picture.

It's hard to think of titles sometimes...

Not a lot has been going on here. Some weeks I feel as though I have a million posts to write and some weeks I struggle and look back to see if anything happened worth writing. This past week Riley got his 4 month shots (I know a little late but his two months feel two days after Christmas so we waited) He was okay that day but didn't sleep which I thought was a little abnormal because last time he slept the day away. Anyway he woke up at 4:30 the morning after with a temperature of about 100F no big deal but I gave him Tylenol and it kept rising, finally it reached 102 almost 103 so I called the Doc we went in but he couldn't tell us anything but just wait it out. Ryan gave him a blessing it was amazing. I thought getting my own blessing when I need one was great but nothing compares to listening to a blessing for your baby. Anyway later that night his temp started going down especially after I gave him Motrin (that stuff really works!)I also got some much needed girl time last night. A couple of girls from the ward and I went to see "Enchanted" it was soooo cheesy but oh so cute(You're right Heather I wanted to sing afterwards!) Then we went and got cupcakes from the cupcake cafe( Carly I only ate half but that was still probably 15 points!)It was so fun and the best part was the my great husband put Riley to sleep. Also looking back on pics I can't believe how much my little boy has grown. As of yesterday he was almost 17 lbs and 26 and 1/2 inches tall. I am so grateful for my family and friends!

Does anybody awake at night thinking what would make a really good blog post?? I am not awake for no reason I have 4 month old but last night after I put Riley back to bed I couldn't sleep so I started thinking about what I could write on my blog. I know this is totally weird. I really need to go to Bloggers anonymous. Does anyone else do this or is it just me?? Also we celebrated Ryan's birthday last week. He is really into star wars legos (he says he collects them for our children, we'll see about that:) So i asked his mom to send me their(his brother's) star wars action figures because I wanted to make a really cool cake. OK so I know it looks ghetto even if I wait ALL day for the cake to cool and it is completely done in the center I still manage to get pieces of cake in the frosting.
