Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

Riley has a fun new toy!

Her Great Aunt Judi gave her this musical jumper and she loves to play in it. Her daddy set this up for her before she was even born and now she is big enough to use it. It is so cute to watch her little tip toes touch the ground.

She loves all of the bright colors and is starting to figure out what to do with all of the toys.

Red Rocks

Last night we took Riley to see Willie Nelson play Red Rocks and needless to say she was a big fan!

She actually stayed awake to listen to some of the music before crashing out. It is the most amazing thing to see her sleep so peacefully right through all the noise. She was perfect!

4 Months Old!

Happy 4 month birthday to Riley! I know I say this every month, but we can't get over how much she is growing and changing. She now weighs 12 lbs 5 oz and is 24 inches long. It is amazing how much her little personality is really coming out. She loves to babble and smile and laugh at us. The best is when she has something really important to say and she raises her left eyebrow... another trait she got from her daddy.

Riley has mastered a few new tricks this month. In addition to rolling from tummy to back she can now almost make it over from her back onto to her tummy, she gets about 3/4 of the way there and then rolls back, but it won't be too long. She is also finding that her hands have a purpose and she is really starting to reach and grab for things, unfortunately in addition to her toys that also means hair, earrings and glasses. Now that her legs are getting stronger she also loves to stand up with our help and has figured out how to use her feet to move around in a circle on the floor. We are really loving this time with her!

Best Friends

This past weekend, Riley got acquainted with her new BFF Audrey. Her mom Kerri is my best friend from childhood and she found out that she was pregnant at almost the exact same time I did and we now have little girls born 5 days apart.

You can tell their best friends by their matching pink Polo dresses

Unfortunately, she and her husband Cory live in Fort Worth, Texas and we don't get to see them nearly enough, but they were in Denver for the weekend and we were able to get our girls together for the very first time.

I love that we are both moms and with babies that are the same age...we have definitely commiserated over sleep or lack there of. We had so much fun seeing all of them and it is going to be so much fun watching them grow!

Concert in the Park

Last week we took Riley to her very first outdoor concert! We took a picnic to the park by our house and sat under a tree to listen to a Beatles cover band, she loved it!
