18 Months Old

My Little boy is growing so fast.

I can't believe it...

He is already a year and a half

Full of energy

Full of fun

This little guy is always on the run

A few words to describe this little guy.

Determined, sweet, cheerful, strong willed, curious, playful, silly

Oh I can't believe how fast the time has gone by.

He is talking so much, a new word everyday

And sentences to....

It blows us away.

ABC's and 123's

He is the smartest little boy, I have to say

The most lovable boy

He holds his mommy's heart in his little hands

And he is his Daddy's pride and Joy

We are having so much fun

Every new memory is as great as the first one.

My Outside Boy

Riri love to be OUTSIDE

If it was up to him, he would be outside all the time.

He especially likes the park, so we try to take him there as much as we can.

He loves to run around and play on all the toys.

He is getting so big.

He climbs up and goes down the slide all by himself.

By the time we are done playing he is all worn out

And so are Dan and I ....

Happy Birthday

Dan, Travis, Leslie, Ross

We have a bunch of birthdays in February and March

I decided to have everyone over to celebrate

together.

Mom made a yummy dinner

Thanks mom....

And we had cake and ice cream.

Happy Birthday to everyone......

Happy Birthday

to you....

Dan's Birthday was today.

He is 29

Last year in the 20's

Three birthday boys

Cool Fort

Fort Fun

Dan and I had so much fun showing Riley how to make a fort.

We played forever.

Riley thought it was the coolest thing,

He brought his books and his toys in the fort

He wanted mommy and Daddy to come in the fort and play too.

Daisy and Duke thought the fort was pretty cool too.

They kept trying to get in

A Day at the ZOO

It was a beautiful day so we decided to take the kids to the ZOO.

This was Riley's first trip to the zoo where he really noticed all the animals

He had a blast.

He ran everywhere and got so excited when he saw a new animal.

The Monkeys were the best.

We sat and watched them for ever.

Swinging back and forth and back and forth .

They were so funny.

Riley even started making Monkey sounds.

My little Monkey.

The walrus was another excited thing for the kids.

My friend Michelle heard of the comb trick and thought she would try it.

You bring a comb and you put it against the glass.

Then flick the comb.

The animal comes right up to the glass

It was so cool. The kids loved it.

I think Riley got a little scarred but I don't blame him that thing is like 100X his size.

Another cool animal was the Porcupine.

There quills are so big and pointy. They suck them straight up.

I think Riley wanted to go play with them.

Good thing for the glass.

All of the animals were fun.

We can't wait until next time to see all the animals again.

Well Child Check up- 18months

Riley had his 18 month Well child check up today.

He is growing....

22lbs and 32 in

He is now in the 10th percentile. =)

The Doctor said he is growing great and he is a healthy boy.

Riley loves the Doctor. I know weird but he does. He let the doctor do everything and he just sat there with a smile.

The Doctor says Riley is very smart and appears ADVANCED for his age.

I knew my little boy was smart, but it is nice to hear it from the professionals.

The visit went great, all except the three shots he had to get. Two in one leg and one in the other.

Riley just kept looking at the nurse and wondering what he was doing.

And then

POKE..POKE..POKE.

Man I hate shots, but I know they are what is best.

He got cute band aids and although he shed some tears....

He still said bye bye to his nurse and even blew him a kiss.

What a good boy.

Riley's little legs.

OUCH.
