Riley is finally one!
A whole year already!
It has been an extremely long and trying year when it came to family and health but also the most amazing year of our lives with Miss Riley. It absolutely amazes me how much she grew and how advanced she is... I'm sure most parents say that but walking at 10 months, running at 12 and just her general understanding of the world around her - she's much farther along than the other one years olds we see.
She's SOOOO extremely tall (she must get that from me), the average tallest height for a baby her age is 30.5 inches; Riley was 32" at her one year check up and at the 100th percentile for height, 76th for weight (only 18th compared to height, but that's considering most kids her height are older and weigh more).
We had her birthday party on Sunday the 10th, Mothers Day, and she had such a fun time (photos will be posted soon!). She really didn't realize it was about her until it came time to eat the cake and everyone was staring at her. Her favorite present so far is the little car, she sits in it every night and pushes the horn over and over again.
Riley will also be starting swim classes on Sunday's at the end of this month and "Gymtastics" gymnastics classes on Mondays next month. Riley already knows when I say 'hands down' to set them on the ground, then we say 'head down' and she sets that on the ground so that I'll grab her feet and make her do a summersault. I think she'll fully enjoy gymnastics classes and all the tumbling she'll get to do. The swim classes should be a hoot too, Riley LOVES her bathtime and I can only imagine what a big pool and other kids will do for her. Hopefully all the kid interaction will be good for her!
Pictures will be posted over the weekend, thanks for checking out her blog!

Riley's 1st Birthday - almost!
Here are some photos taken today for Riley's 1st Birthday. She had a blast taking these today (timing between naps was perfect!!) and they turned out so adorable! I will post more after her birthday party next Sunday, that should be fun too!
Pointing to her piggies:
Lookin' so pretty in her tutu
I love how she looks surprised, like we weren't really taking photos of her
Kabunk! Not the softest floor to land on...
Looking absolutely adorable in the dress Smoochie gave her
My most favorite photo of Riley's smile, it doesn't get any more innocent than this...
Sweet yet sporty, that's my girl! The photographer tried to give her a rose, I gave her the ball instead and I LOVE this photo! It might just be up on Auntie Di and Coach Jeff's wall already!
I hope you enjoyed the photos, check back next week for birthday party photos!

One more post for today :)
I just wanted to share with you all my other blog on Blogspot, www.jarrettcreations.blogspot.com. I started this blog for you all to have easy access to my etsy.com site, a site for all things hand made :)
I've been selling a few items which has brought in some extra cash to do some really fun things with Riley (right now I'm working on getting her into Little Gym, it will make for some great photos for you all!). My blog has links to all the items on my etsy.com site, so if you see any hair bows or know anyone that would need some custom wall letters painted for a kids room or a baby on the way, please check out my site! The direct link to my etsy.com store is www.jarrettcreations.etsy.com
Thanks for allowing me to highjack Riley's page!

So I lied to you...
I posted the other day about Riley's vocabulary but I apparently lied to you.
I think Riley has been holding out on us, since I posted last she has also said "Hi Bosco! Hi Peyton!", of course it didn't sound exactly as it should but it was close enough, and when I asked her where her ear was the other day she put her hand over it and said "it's right here!". When I asked her again she yelled at me "right here!" like I wasn't smart enough to know on my own! If she starts following her statements with "duh" I think I'm going to get my first gray hair!

Riley Anne - 11 months and counting!
Again, sorry for taking so long to post! I think I need more reminders about this blog :)
As of today Riley will be a whopping ONE YEAR OLD in only TWO WEEKS! Can you believe how much time has flown? I have enjoyed every bit of this year with her, no matter how you feel she is sure to put a smile on your face! Right now her vocabulary consists of "MamaMama", "Dadeeee" "Do-eee" (Doggy, which if you ask her what they say she will say 'woof' and when you ask what they do she will pant for you), "Who's that?" "Whuz that?" and "Oh YEAH!". She's been walking for a couple months and pretty much given up on crawling too. Climbing over anything is so cool to her but her ultimate favorite right now is the swing set we got for her. She LOVES LOVES LOVES the swing! She even pumps her little legs to try and go higher, it's too cute! The swing set also has two slides, one of which is a little taller than the other, on the big slide today she sat at the top and leaned forward to make her way down all on her own (w/ me at the bottom to catch her of course!).
For her birthday I'm hoping to get her into a 'Little Gym' that does tumbling and games, I think she would love it (at least for the $ she better love it!). I'll be sure to post pictures if I'm able to get her in!
Anyway, here are some photos from Easter and on her swing set.
