CHEESE

Every so often I can catch one of those precious smiles on camera!

I just love the last one because it looks like she is really posing...almost a fake smile! haha

"On Top of Spaghetti"

I finally broke down and just let her make the big mess. She loves feeding herself and we were having spaghetti so why not? She loved it! She did really well with it too. I figured it would be hard for her to pick up the noodles but she managed.

She was making all the "MMmm" noises she always makes when she eats!!

 

Sleepless Nights

This has been one of those weeks where we are all just sick.   Riley started us all off with a cold so he had a doctors appointment anyways for a checkup so he just went ahead and conveniently got a shot while he was there.  And then Anna Riley got it and this has been the worst one she has had.  Usually, she has just had the sniffles which was probably mostly from teething but not this time.  And then yesterday, I woke up with a sore throat so I went ahead and went and got a shot so that I would hopefully knock it out quickly.  Needless to say though, we have not gotten much sleep at our house.  Plus, on top of the cold, I do think that now she is trying to cut another tooth on top.  Its hard to tell though because she bites my finger every time I try to feel.  But sleep has not been that great ever since we lowered her crib anyways.  We are working on it.  I sure was used to her sleeping through the night though! haha.  But like all things...this too shall pass! :) 

Pulling up

Anna Riley has been trying to pull up on everything these days she just isn't the sturdiest. She still only "army crawls"  and honestly I dont know if she will ever really crawl.  But, boy she can take off and go fast now but she will get in the the crawling position but then goes into her "army stance."  I wish I had gotten a picture of Riley trying to show her the right way to do it the other night! It was priceless!  

Bama v. Duke

We enjoyed a lazy Saturday with Riley's Dad and sister watching the Bama game. I only got these pictures of Papa Doug and Anna Riley playing in the floor.

Little Red Wagon

Granna and PawPaw got AR a wagon and since it has been a little cooler it is actually enjoyable outside to use it.  She was not in the best of moods this day but seemed to really enjoy her ride.

Playing is hard work
