Riley has a tooth


We discovered last night while Riley was sucking on my hand that he has a tooth. His bottom front left tooth has broken though to reveal it's self. This was an unexpected find since baby's don't typically start getting teeth for several more months.

Riley turns 4 months old


I guess it's fitting that Riley turns 4 months old on the "Day of Love". We think Riley is over 17 pounds now which means that when he is in his car seat, I'm carrying around 28 plus pounds. No wonder my arm gets tired so fast. We will have his next wellness visit to the doctor on Monday for an official weigh in and length measurement.
He is at such a fun age right now. He is really beginning to discover the world. He's more aware of the different noises that he hears and he is so interested in everything. He has learned that he can reach and touch different toys thanks to his play mat and activity center. But the funniest thing that he has discovered is his voice and that he can be loud. He has learned to grunt, squeal, scream and screech. Check out this video to hear him screaming in his crib.

Riley's New Toy


Our neighbor has an activity center that bounces and Riley loved it, so we decided that we needed it too. In addition to all the moving parts, it plays music and has lights too. (Check out the video in the "Riley Videos" link on the left) He loves being in it and has spent up to an hour bouncing around and squealing while Nate and I have been in the kitchen cooking or doing dishes. He has started to reach for the different elements and he likes to hold on to the rainbow. He can't quite reach the ground so we have a pillow under him so he can use his legs to bounce.
Saturday morning, Riley was bouncing around and making all sorts of noises while I was in the kitchen doing dishes. He was talking up a storm and then I realized that he had been quiet for a couple minutes. I looked over and found him sound asleep. It was the cutest thing I had ever seen. Gunner even came over and stuck his noise in Riley's face and he didn't wake up.

Visit to Great Grandma and Grandpa's


This weekend we made a visit to the Bustamante's, Riley's great grandparents. We were joined by Pauline and Dave and enjoyed a nice lunch and some good Riley time. Nate was too the rescue for his Grandpa's computer and had a great time visiting. See all the photos and videos here.
