Another Week in the Life of Riley

So I'm already slacking on keeping up with this, but hopefully we'll find a rhythm soon! We've been busy the last 10 days! We're back to the feed, pump and poison supplement due to the mini pill decreasing my milk supply! Only me! I should have known better than to start taking it, but this too shall pass!

Riley's had quite a few visitors the past week in a half - Gary, Suzanne & Talana Hamilton came by last Sunday, Timmy "Rosy Cheeks" Muttitt spent the afternoon with us Monday, Monique came by and had lunch with us on Friday, Brady was home from Arizona State University and stopped by to spend the afternoon with us Friday as well. I try not to force people to hold Riley when they come over! Especially young guys like Brady and Tim! I know I used to get freaked out when people would hand me their babies, so I don't want to do that to people! But Brady did a good job! It was sweet because he was worried he'd break! :)

Then I actually had two outings as well! Talana and I saw Tuna Does Vegas at Bass Hall on Tuesday. It was AWESOME! Two guys do EVERY character! I have no idea how they don't just pass out once it's over!! Then I had a hair appointment Thursday. I have to admit, it was nice to get my hair washed and my head massaged and not have to be "on alert" listening for Riley to wake up from a nap or something! It was VERY relaxing!! And I'm going back to my roots and doing my hair darker every time I go! I guess that's my postpartum hormonal change...darker, longer hair! We'll see how long it lasts before I change it again! It is nice to be able to pull it back into a pony tail though! I think that's a requirement for a new Mom!

Enough about me...this is Riley's gig. What's new with Riley is that he's found a new toy! His HANDS! And OMG did he ever find them! I'm trying to get a picture of him attempting to stuff his ENTIRE fist in his mouth! If he were older, it'd be a great party trick! ha! I finally broke out the bibs this week too! Between his new drooling and finding his hands...let's just say my days of dressing him in white may be over already!

Kelly worked on Riley's Halloween costume today too! He already has a Superman costume, but you know Kelly can't just go with a costume. He decide we are going to trick out the stroller and make it look like the capsule Superman was sent to earth in as a baby! So off he went to Hobby Lobby - his 2nd favorite destination behind 4Wheel Parts! It's not done yet, but it's hilarious! It sort of looks like one of those medieval weapons - a morning star! Of course, Riley's too young to Trick-or-Treat but I may take him to my office for their event this Thursday. I may have issues getting through security with the stroller though! I'll post pics once the project is all done!

Riley is getting more and more interactive, so it's FUN FUN FUN! And his Dad keeps teaching him bad habits! His new thing is to blow air through his lips like a mouth fart! NICE! It's just like when he started howling in the beginning, he has to move his mouth and fidget around for quite a while before he pops one out! And he'll just randomly bust it out at different times. He's also laughing out loud more and more! So funny! Today he woke up from a deep sleep crying, then when I picked him up he immediately fell back asleep and was smiling and laughing out loud in his sleep! Cracks me UP! He's always laughing, smiling and cooing at 5am too! I keep telling him that he's the ONLY morning person in this household!!

And he's a CRAZY man when he's lying down! He looks like he's doing the running man! I have to get a video of it! It's like he's beating himself up but he's smiling and loving it the entire time!

I think that's about it for the past week or so!
