Official farewell

Well the time has come. Riley as officially outgrown her newborn clothes.

To commemorate this event Maryanne took some pictures of her clothes. I know it is kind of silly, but I didn't realize just how quickly she would grow. Although I didn't post a picture of her, she is SO long. When we weighed her the other day she is now 11lbs and just 1/4 in shy of 23 inches. Although I will miss some of her little outfits, it sure is amazing to watch my little girl grow so fast. Not to mention I just love these pictures of her clothes.

Beautiful Baby

Riley is growing so fast and doing new things each day. We both thought it was so cute how she would pick her head up and look around while Ryne was holding her. She is so strong! The night she was born she would hold her head up and flop it back down, but now she holds it for a few seconds and makes the cutest faces. Ryne and I both thought that she just looked so cute in her little outfit too. Although you can't really tell in these pictures, she is so long and active. We can't get her to sit still long enough to get a good picture of her all stretched out. We will keep working on it though. :)

Wonderful Weekend

Mr Lee with Riley. I think she looked so cute in her bunny hat.
Riley just looks so comfy. She sure did like all the attention she got.
It was so wonderful for all of us to be home this weekend. -I love you all so much and miss you greatly!-
G-ma next door even got to come. It was so good to see her.
It was so sweet, Rynes parents got down a wooden cradle that had been made for Ryne when he was small. It wont be long before she wont fit in it any more.

This weekend was so good for Ryne and I. I know its a little late on the post but...

We had Monday off from school and it is amazing what a difference it made to get to stay one extra night. The weekend was full of good conversations and good visits. Saturday night we got to have some one-on-one time with caitlin while everyone else (my family included) were at the Jazz Jubilee. It was good for all of us. -Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Bergren for letting us stay with you guys this weekend, we had such a good time and miss you all. - It was also neat that Sarah and my Grandmother Anne came down for the Jazz Jubilee. All four of the sisters were together and we all got to visit and see grandma next door. All in all, we had a wonderful time. We love and miss you all and cant wait to see you again. Hopefully it wont be too long.

1 Month Appointment

Today we took Riley to her first doctors appointment. Her doctor is Kae McCrory and we absolutely love her (she is the one in the pink) She said that Riley is doing very well and looks great. She is now 22.25 inches long which is in the 85%; she weighs 9lbs 60z which is in the 50%. Once again she didnt like getting down to her birthday suit, but other than that she did very good.

Riley Pictures!

Ryne and I have been blessed with great friends here at LeTourneau. We have become good friends with a couple of our neighbors: Tommy and Desnekka (we call her Desi for obvious reasons) and Maryanne and Josh and their sons Corbin and Vincent. Maryanne has a talent for taking pictures. She is the one who took our TeamRB photos last semester. We were just piddle fartin around the other day and she took a few pictures of Riley for me. She will be taking some new TeamRB pictures soon but for now here are a few of Miss Riley.

Riley Anne, 1 month old!

Miss Riley has been such a joy for Ryne and I. She is such a good baby and today she was 1 month old. It is so impressive to see how much she has changed in these few short weeks. Her face has filled out a little more and I would be willing to bet that she has gotten even longer. I just put up a few pictures to show you some various sides to Riley's wonderful personality. I love that picture of her with the duck. We know that she is my child because she was trying to have a conversation with the duck and she has already made Ryne and I laugh at all the different sounds and noises that she has started to make. She is also very cool and knows it. She liked to wear Ryne's hat to show off her cool personality. These last two pictures show off Riley's favorite past time, sleeping. She has been such a good sleeper. Yesterday she went to the hospital for a blood test. The nurse said that she was the best baby she had ever seen. She wiggled and squirmed a bit when I woke her up to put her on the table. Then she went right back to sleep. The nurse pricked and squeezed her foot for a good little bit and Riley pretty much stayed just like that, sound asleep. At first she had her nights and days very mixed up; however, she has slowly started to turn it around and be much better through the night. Ryne and I are doing well too. We both started school back up this past week. Ryne has started some of his flight training this semester :) so that has been exciting. Well, now that we are back home and starting to get back into the groove of things I will keep things more updated of how life is going here in longview. So far, we have been so blessed. Riley has been wonderful and we couldn't be happier.
