Random Pics

Here's a picture of Riley with our friends little girl, Kaitlyn. I know, I know. He's turing into quite the little butterball, isn't he? Isn't it funny how babies (especially toddlers) are so fascinated with other babies. This little 2-year-old girl at a party we went to kept kissing Riley and trying to sit on his lap. It was pretty funny.

Riley's new favorite trick is blowing spit bubbles. He spits all over everything and everyone. Usually, he has this little white spit beard dangling from his chin. On the plus side, we can dress him in a Santa Suit and we'll have our own jolly little holiday decoration (complete with beard).

Riley's addicted to chapstick, just like his mom.

Riley with his Grandma Morrill or Grandma Therena. We haven't figured out what she's going to be called yet. I think Gereena is a good name (Grandma + Therena =Gereena)

Our baby is now officially obsessed with his thumb. It's good that he finally figured out how to get it into his mouth. Before, he would just poke himself in the eye with it. It must be so frustrating to have a total lack of control over what your hand is doing.

Free stuff is great

Here's a little family photo that we had my brother take of us down by the Provo River walkway (thanks Dustin!). Since I so stupidly paid a lot of money to get Riley's baby photos taken, we decided not to do a professional family photo. But I thought this photo turned out great. Have you noticed that I'm slyly begin to post more photos of myself on the blog? They also have Riley in them for now, just to make the transition easier for all of you. But from now on, I'll just be posting pics of myself. I can't handle all the attention Riley's getting. Just Kidding!! I know seeing baby photos is the only reason you guys all check this anyway.

Hooray for Halloween!

We had a great Halloween. We were going to take Riley trick-or-treating, but we figured everyone would be suspicious that we were just trying to keep the candy for ourselves, what with him having no teeth and all. But we did end up going to a couple of Halloween parties. The first one was on Friday night. It was adults only, so Sam and I left Riley with a babysitter (other than family) for the first time. I worried a little about how both he and I would do, but everything ended up fine. On Saturday, we dressed Riley up in his little pumpkin costume and went to another party. It was fun...Sam and I got to carve a jack-o-lantern for the first time in many years.
