He's on the move

So, the last few weeks have been eventful around here. Riley is starting to crawl. The first indication? -->


I finally caught him on video.


So B and I have been trying to get things more baby-safe around here.
Also, he is up to 8 teeth now. 8!?!?

Silly baby

Ok, I know 2 in a row, but...more video. He is trying so hard to move forward. He can pivot on that belly, and is really good at scooting backwards, but forward is hard. Oh well.





Also, here is one clean little guy. Look at all of that blond hair.

Chatty little Riley

It's been a busy couple of weeks. School started for Brian, even though he is done with classes, the first week is a little crazy. Riley has been having fun at daycare, all the other little kids love to play with him, and show him pictures in books. He has been a chatty little guy, and I finally managed to get some video of him.

He has also been trying all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Carrot, sweet potatoes, bananas, pears = great. Peas? no thanks.

6 Months

I can't believe that its been 6 months already.
I took some pictures today with his new friend. Riley was getting bored, so he started blowing bubbles.

Slimey

So, apparently I bought Riley a sleeper that makes him look like Slimey the worm from Sesame Street. You be the judge:


In other news, my child is brilliant:

Lil' blue eyes

I can't believe this weather. It is July and we have the windows open.
I had to put a jacket on Riley this morning.

Crazy.

Little Firecracker

Gotta love that cheeseball grin, and yes his shirt says little firecracker.


Riley tried cereal this weekend, and it went well.

Riley is doing great. He rolls over pretty well, he only gets stuck every once in a while. Now he is trying to figure out how to get those little legs underneath him, to try and move more. He is having fun at daycare. There are little kids to watch, and show him picture books and talk to him.

Work for me is fine. I changed jobs when I came back from maternity leave, to a brand new position. So it has been a challenge to figure out exactly what my duties are, as well as getting a new boss.

Brian is busily working on his dissertation. Hopefully (fingers crossed) in December he will be Dr. Brian.
