Teething Bars

EQUALS

Tonight we gave her a Teething Bar...i knew they were messy, but they were a funny messy! We had a crack up watching her munch and play with this thing! She got it everywhere, that she couldnt even open her eyes! haha.

Thanks Sally for buying these for her! Kept her busy for a good 30 minutes!

Dylan Appreciation Day

Dylan's in town!! YEEAAHH!! We've all missed him so much...and Riley FINALLY got to meet him! Today we spent the day with Dylan. Started at Pikes Cafe in Newport Beach for breakfast then off to the beach. Here are some beach pictures. Riley loooved the sand! Crawling all over in the sand, then of course; eating it. Then Dylan took her in the ocean, and of course LOVED the water...even though it was a bit on the cold side for her...it didnt phase her!

Goofy

Riley had her first "un-official" trip to experience DISNEY. My good friend Carol and I were lucky enough to track down and grab a few good pics of her and Goofy!! yea! She's still too young to be scared, so she enjoyed sitting down with Goofy

7 months!

So last week Riley turned 7 months!

-she crawls like crazy and is fast!

-she loves to smile and laugh.

-she is expanding to her solid foods, such as bananas, apples, carrots and peas.

family date

the other day we had a family date :) well....i was exhausted...and needed a nap reeeallly bad. So i lay down in my bed. All I can hear is Riley being fussy in the living room with Marky. How am I supposed to sleep??? So he takes her and puts her in the crib...(downfall of a one bedroom apartment. no quiet places.) crib is in our bedroom. so shes in her crib playing, which doesnt make much sense to me...again, how am i supposed to sleep?? by this time im getting grumpy cause i need my nap! I never ever get to nap and with Marky home it was my one and only chance. FAILED. so I decided to get up since I was not going to sleep. Marky felt bad (finally.) and said he's taking Riley on a date...a walk up to main street. Walk? a walk? but i wanna go! So my grumpy attitude towards not being able to sleep was turned around for a beautiful walk as a family. Here are some pictures.

marky decided to pose...

It was such a nice night. perfect weather. dinner at dukes. our little family.
