Nine Months Old!

Time is flying, that's for sure.  Miss Riley turned 9 months on the 3rd of September.  The big 1 is just around the corner.  Here are some vital stats for Riley at the 9 months mark.

Weight:  19.81 pounds (64 percentile)

Length:  28.5 inches (76 percentile)

Teeth:  2 on the bottom, 2 on the top starting to poke through

First words:  Mommy....ok, not really.  Still just babbling, but says da-da a lot!  Not sure if that's for Daddy or Davis :)

Hobbies:  crawling, eating cheerios, stealing sips from big brother's cup, eating rocks from the gas fireplace

Mood:  Happy, happy, happy!

Playing in the Rain

My little man LOVES playing in the rain!

Why is it that he screams in horror when I pour water over his head in the bath, but the pouring rain, claps of thunder, and lightening flashes produce nothing but pure excitement?

I'd say it's a little too late for the umbrella, pal!

Almost Heaven

Our Labor Day weekend was spent in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia!  We were due for a trip back home, seeing how Riley was just 9 weeks old when we last visited!  Here are a few of the highlights of our trip!

Riley loves Mawmaw Fran!

Riley loves Shiloh too!

The power went out twice while we were in WV.  Once at Papa and Nana George's house and then again at Nana and Pawpaw Webb's house!  Davis and Riley are pros at taking baths in the dark. 

I guess you have to turn the flash off to get the full effect!

That's more like it!

Davis played with cars pretty much all day every day.  He even played with the same matchbox cars his daddy and uncle played with when they were young.

One of his favorite cars.....Pawpaw's VW Bug!

One of our favorite things to do while in WV (since it was raining most days) was visit the nursery at Nana Webb's church.  Plenty of toys to play with here!  It didn't hurt that Tim Horton's was next door.  Coffee for me and donut for Davis!  And most mornings Davis was kind enough to share his donut with me :)

And finally, Davis came face to face with Pawpaw's firetruck!!

He can hardly contain his excitement!  Can't you tell?!

Go Herd!  But really, Go 'Eers!



Davis may have been more excited about the toy I got him from Dollar General than the firetruck.  Oh well, I guess it's the little things in life!

Can't wait to get back on those country roads....in my van....with 2 cranky babies.  Ok, maybe not!  Seriously, we had such a good time and are looking forward to our next visit!
