RJ walk it out....

Well... we can't say that was her first steps, cuz she actually did that bout 1 month ago. But we finally got around to getting it on video. Our little girl is growing up sooo fast it's making me sad.
*sigh*

Movin on...so now that the election is over, we can finally go back to what this blog is for....RILEY!!! Anyways, I've got a ton a videos and pics to show, it's just taken me some time to upload them all. So let's get to it...shall we?

So Riley usually wakes up around 7am, while her parents are still pretty tired and groggy. So whoever's turn it is that day to watch her usually lets her play by herself in her room with us watching. Here's what she's really likes doing when she's thinks no one is looking....wait for the end when she gets way stuck...



Not sure where she gets that...I'm pretty sure I was a scaredy cat when I was a kid....Anyways, this next clip is a little something she picked up maybe about a month or so ago....



We' re working on the clapping hands video....As you Giants fans out there might know, Tim Lincecum won the Cy Young award a few weeks back...and boy was Riley excited...



Okay we don't really know where she learned that from. All we know is that she likes to do that randomly for no reason at all. Not happy, not sad. Strange exorcist baby....

All right let's move on to some pics and then we'll end with a couple more vids....

That's my girl...rock da vote!

With Aunite Jeannie and her new favorite toy..the A&F bag that we drag her around on...

That is some serious morning hair...we call it "The Elvis"

Riley: Medium rare please...

Where's Riley?

The Queen...of Gymboree!

pwnd by gymboree bubbles!

pwnd by the bubbles again!!!

Come on Caden...smile

Nice day for a walk...

Riley, you likey your new shopping cart mat?

Riley...keep your eyes on the road
(At least your hands are on 10 and 2)

It's only water baby...dont be scurrrd...

See...it aint so bad, eh?

Riley in her monkey costume with Uncle Timmy
(not lincecum...or she'd be really excited)

Riley: Man I got some cheap parentals!

Parentals: Well, pick up your feet when you walk then!

Alright...whew whatta long post....but we aint done yet. For all yall patient viewers we got a couple of vids left for ya...

Guess how long she'll stand for...
(honor system)

Riley walking: Take 1

2!

Yeahhhhhh....we can!!!

This happened in Riley's lifetime. Yippeee!

You Can Vote However You Like....

words kinda unclear on that vid...so here you go again...but the video is not as good...



Well like these kids say...You can vote however you like!!! I'm not gonna use this blog to talk politics....but...yeah everyone go out and VOTE!!!

So who am I gonna vote for? I don't really agree with everything Obama stands for. But I gotta say...McCain/Palin has run an extremely ugly, dirty, and untruthful campaign. I'm not saying the dems don't lie. But the GOP don't even try to disguise there lies....it's that blantant. My bad, I guess I am talking politics...Seriously though, have you ever heard Palin speak? She should seriously go on "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" And she's supposed to be the prez if something happens to McCain, who by the way has statistically a 1/3 chance of passing away in the next 4 years.

Okay, so maybe McCain will make it past the next 4 years. I'm sure he'll still be able to lead our country and have his wits about him....

or maybe not?

So needless to say...Riley's baby mama and papa is mos def...for Obama!

Short post, had to get that off my mind. Here some quick vidz for yall....and go out and vote!!!

This is called human foosball...I got carried away and thought this was a competition and tried to win...

Riley's first ride on a swing...doesnt she look like she's having fun!

Before we get to this post on ry ry...I gota say awesome job to my choir kids for this past weekends musical...Surrender! Yall did great and you guys always come through!

And now....onto some Riley stuff...

So if Ima try to catch up on stuff thats been going on with Riley, I guess I'll start with the July...here are some pics from that month...

Riley and friends...
(here's Riley and Micah...check the crazy hair)

Riley and Sienna

Riley and Becks

She quite the independent drinker...

And for those of you who have a weak stomach...I suggest you scroll down past the next couple of pics...


So in July, we moved from one unit in our building to the bigger upstairs unit. There was a whole lot to move, and unfortunately Adrienne was not able to help me carry anything because this happened to her hand...

I know gross right? Here's the story: She started feeling a little tendonitis in her wrist. So she put some chinese medicine on it and wrapped it up. Then 2 days later...viola...she has leprosy.
So she's ok now. And here's a video of her cutting off some excess skin...again...warning if you can't take it dont watch it...






Don't ask why we would video that. Riley's parentals are a little off. Let's move on to more pleasant things shall we.....more pics!


Me trying to eat Riley again...

I want sunglasses like that! Seriously....I do

Serious pic...

First solid food meal...


Taken from my iPhone..

I can't believe how old she's getting. As I'm writing this she is already 7.5 months old. She totally crawls around everywhere about a month ago. It's hard to put her to sleep, cuz she likes to pull herself up in the crib and just stand there. I mean my baby seems like she's a whole new baby. I mean we even went to start looking at preschools. I told Adrienne, now that I'm looking for schools for someone besides me...totally make me feel old. It's selfish of me...but it's like I don't want her to grow up so fast. Anyways...enuf of my ranting...I leave yall with more pics of the old lady...


Hey Riley...I like to introduce you to something really important in life...



PHO!!!! It's pho life baby!


Sorry...this is what you get for now...carrots..yum!

She's always standing around now...


Auntie Jeannie, Uncle John...why'd you wake me up for?

I'll end with a video of Riley like 2 months ago when she first started trying to pull herself up in the crib....Watch how mean Adrienne is as she purposely trips Riley so she can't learn independence by standing! j.k., j.k. rowlings




Peace yall!
