Shoes

Anna Riley really never wore shoes.  It is really hard to find shoes that will fit newborns and by the time she could wear shoes, it was summer so why bother?  I am trying to get her used to shoes since she will have to wear them very soon, so I have been putting them on her everyday and she seems to really like them.  She plays with them and stares and them a lot! It is so cute. A few people told me they had problems with their child wearing shoes when they had to because they never did as babies but it doesnt seem that it bothers her yet!

Its just all happening a little too fast for me...

Wow! It seems like she is hitting so many milestones this month and it makes me realize that my baby is growing up soo fast!  I may have shed a few tears tonight.  Don't get me wrong I LOVE every stage she has been in and this is probably my favorite (aren't they all though?)  but when I go back to thinking about that little baby, a part of me is sad to think how fast she is growing and before I know it this stage will have moved on and she will be on to something else.  Anyways...enough sappiness!

**And we had to lower her crib all the way down because she pulled herself up and was standing in her crib.

**She also said her first word this week and it was "HEY!"  No mama or dada just a simple hey! haha  She has said it several times since then but never when I want her to of course!

 Riley and I went tailgaiting and to the game (childless.)  Mom kept her and we decided it was time for me to let go and let her spend the night.  She did wonderful (according to Mom) and we had a great time at the game.

We got to see several of our friends which is always a huge plus...another reason why I LOVE football season.  However, it could have been a little bit cooler if you ask me and I could have did without getting completly soaked on my walk back from another tailgate but we did win and so all in all it was a great day! Roll Tide!

RTR---1st game!

We escaped the madness of the first game and took advantage of the long weekend in Fairhope. We had a great time with the Tidmores and Stricklands. And we had enough tailgating food to eat the whole weekend. Don't worry though, we will be right in the madness Saturday!

Playing

She will go from this...

to this in a second!  And then back to being happy and laughing! 

I mean just a little bit dramatic!

Starting to crawl

Her Daddy has her doing push ups to get ready! :)

I wonder what is behind there I can get into?

And this is the look of frustration she gives all the time when
she cant get where she wants to be fast enough!

Labor Day weekend

Sunday we spent all day at the pool.  The weather was perfect!!  Anna Riley did not like her float as much this time I guess because she wanted to be out in the water.  I cant wait to see her running around at the pool next year...I hope she still likes it as much as she does now!

 

The turtle was a hit at the pool...a kid even cried over him.

I think we ended up losing him before we got home! :(

Daddy even had lots of fun! :) 

The ending to a great day!
