So BIG!

I can't believe Riley is 11 months old today! How fast this first year seems to have flown by. I look at him standing up and think how is it that almost a year ago you just entered the world so tiny and needy. We have been so blessed by all that he's added to our world! Here are some funny shots from the past week or so...Riley has quite the personality and keeps us on our toes at all times!

His new game: hiding things under the couch - favorite items include the phone and the remote for the tv.

Always moving - check out those thighs! He obviously does not have his daddy's legs!

He realized he is smart enough now to crawl under the stools...hmm...but is he smart enough to get out on his own?


Dressed and ready to go get Santa pictures...which again failed. Today we were getting on the elevator and Santa came out of the bathroom - Riley freaked!! He does not like that guy!


So cute!



Riley suddenly has found that tv can be entertaining - especially if it has to do with trains or cars...this is his first time ever seeing Thomas the Train - I think he liked it.


Sitting on mama's lap watching choo choo.

My good friend Erin came over for dinner the other night with her 2 month old Jackson. Riley thought he'd be helpful and rock Jackson while he was sleeping. It was pretty funny. It was even funnier when Jackson was laying on the floor on his blanket and Riley wanted to wrestle with him - we had our hands full keeping him off the baby. He did figure out how to steal Jackson's socks though.

bummer about Santa..everyone has to have a crying picture. I am wondering if that will be this year for Coleson... last year he was nearing 9 months and did great! Even smiled. But we'll see this year. I have the picture out and he says "santa" and knows who he is...but it might be a whole new story when he is sitting on the large red man's lap! :) *love Riley's spikey hair...too funny!
