Cry Me a River...

So, Riley was born with really long finger and toe nails....so in the car seat she scratches herself on the face. So sad...I was praying it wouldnt actually scar, and luckily it didn't. Here's a picture of the facial blemish...like a little tear tatoo...she is gangsta


Also, in other 2nd week news, her umbilical cord has finally fallen off. I'm sure most of yall don't really care to see it, but here it is anyways...haha...

Adrienne and I have also finally got a chance to get out of the house for a little bit. We went to Smart and Final to get some lemon teas and to Stonestown to get me some more gear for Riley.



And finally, I've leave yall with some of my favorite pics of the last few days...lates...

Oh, already looking in the mirror at herself....so vain so vain.

The only time in a girls life where her fatty legs rolls are cute...
Society is so cruel, so cruel...

Her first bath...

One milllliiiiioooooon dollars!

She likes to sleep on her side...

Her new friend...

Week 2

Kendall Riley

So we had our 2nd pediatrician's appt. this past thursday. Lots of crying babies...Anyways, we are all sitting in the waiting room trading baby compliments. Someone asks, what's her name? We reply, Riley. Then the woman next to me goes...Riley? Really, that's my daughter's middle name. We go, really? What's her first name? Then, she goes...(no joke) Oh her name's Kendall! We're like WHAT?!? That's so crazy!!! No lie. Riley Kendall, meet Kendall Riley. I guess we're not as original as we thought. Which delves into our next question. How did we come up with the name? When? How? It's a pretty boring story. Basically, once we found out she was gonna be a girl, Adrienne starting look through girl names. She says, what about Kyle? I say its cool, but then there would be a lot of pressure for her to grow up pretty. Otherwise, she'd be destined as a tomboy. Then she goes how bout, rayley. I'm like NO! Thats sounds like Ray Lee, who is our friend. So then we settled on Riley. We've been holding on to that name for probably about 6-7 months not saying anything, afraid of name stealers.

So we've had a ton of friends and family visit these last 2 weeks, and Adrienne and I want to say how extremely thankful we are for all of you! Thanks for sharing in this exciting time with us and being part of Riley's life. With that being said here are some pics of visitors (sorry no family pics in this post)...

1st

So this is the first entry of Riley's blog. It's been exactly 1 week since she was born. I actually got sick yesterday so I had to stay with my parents so I don't get her sick.

When I think about it, it's kinda weird. One minute she's inside this round stomach, and the next she's this little person crying her head off. I would say the biggest adjustment is the lack of sleep, since she doesn't sleep through the night yet. But it's not too bad, we've had tons of people come and visit and offer to help. So once in a while, someone will come, we'll hand her off, and go take a nap. Those are pretty helpful.

They say once you have a kid, your whole life changes. I can see that. It's like you have to tend to this little being 24/7. You need food? Got it. You need changing? On it. Got some gas? Lemme help you out. It's weird though. If I did all this stuff for someone else besides my own kids, I'd probably hate them by now. But because it's our own, you love them. I'm guessing this is how God feels about us. How we're probably really annoying to Him, but he probably just laughs it off, and says I love you anyways.

Anyways, I'm hoping to be home by tomorrow. Any hopefully I'll have some pics to post.
