Riley had her 6 week check up today.
She did awesome...didnt even make a peep. Just looked around and cooperated like she does it all the time.
She's very healthy...PRAISE THE LORD!
She's gained almost 3 pounds exactaly since birth, which puts her at 10 lbs. 12 oz.
And she's grown 3 inches since birth! She's now 23 inches! Thats sooo long for only 6 weeks!! hahaha
We are so happy that she is growing and is a healthy little girl!
Here are some recent pictures of her...

She's happy here, cause her Auntie Nichole was visiting her!


Her Grandpa and Mai Mai are LOVING her!


Some Love from Daddy

This one she's just finishing a smile...


Then caught her starting to smile again...

Riley's new bed!!

Believe it or not, at just a few days shy of 4 weeks old, she OUTGREW her bassinett! For the past few nights, she's been sleeping in the bed with us, which doesnt really work, cause for how tiny she is, she takes ALL THE ROOM! We lay her down, and a few hours later, she wakes us up and she is SIDEWAYS! That girl moves so much! So we decided that its time to get her a CRIB! It's so exciting for her to have a crib...its her bed for the next few years! Enjoy these pictures of Marky putting it together, while me and Riley sat on the bed and watched. :)

So we tried putting her to bed in the new crib...but of course she didnt like it. ha. Today I layed her down in it for her nap...lasted 30 minutes! hey, its a start!!! :)

First Soccer Game

Riley got to attend her very first soccer game, as she went to Downey and watched her Grandma and Grandpa coach. She had so much fun....well...ok, maybe not actual fun, since she pretty much slept through the entire game. ha. But WE had the fun bringing her along. We are very much looking forward to her first ACTUAL soccer game when she can play! 5 years! We're counting down!!! We aren't pushing soccer on her...really. hahah. But if you think about it, she really must play, cause thats how her Mommy and Daddy met, back in 2000! :)
