Crawl baby crawl

So I cant believe its almost been a month since I have written...

Riley has done so many new things. Its amazing to watch his growth. He is now officially crawling, pulling himself up on things, taking big boy baths, clapping his hands, banging things together and trying to speak by screaming OOO OOO OOO everytime the kitties walk by. He is getting so mobile that the kitties have to run and hide because he hunts them down. Loki officially has PTSD now and jumps at the slightest movements, mine, Rileys, Nicks or a snail teether. Poor cat. And poor Riley...all he wants to do is squeeze his tail and furr.

Riley is still recovering from his Croup experience and a little ear infection. Whoever thought it was a great idea to make a childs antibiotic bright pink and sticky is dumb. That stuff gets EVERYWHERE!!!

Anywho...so Riley had his first plan ride last week. We all went to San Diego (our 1st time back since we moved from there) to visit our friend Ken who was there with the University of Kansas baseball team. We had a blast. And little Riley was awesome! Never cried once on the plane. That was something we were both really worried about, esp with the ear infection. All the people around us on the plane were pleasantly surprised when he didnt cry. On the way home I heard a guy say "what are the chances, of course I sit next to a baby, jeez." And by the end of the flight he was turning around smiling at Riley. Its funny how peoples attitudes change...

So...besides the 1st plane ride, Riley had a few more 1sts in SD: 1st time in the ocean, first time putting his feet in a pool, 1st big boy bath and first time meeting uncle Ken. He made it so easy to travel that I am already planning our next trip...Hawaii maybe :)

Gotta run, but here are some recent pics of our trip to Tahoe, our trip to San Diego and our trip to the Dinosaur exhibit with the Friends...
