Trying to Keep Up!

Riley tries so hard to keep up with Gavin.  I think that's why she's starting to walk earlier than he did.  I love this video.  It shows just how much she tries to be like her big brother.  I was cooking dinner and had to grab my camera to capture this. 

Love You All!

Thanks for visiting us!  We are looking forward to the next visit....at the beach!

STEPS!!

Riley's growing up so fast!  For the past week or so, she's been taking two or three steps at a time.  She'll walk from the ottomans to the couch and back, or she'll take a step here and there to get to what she wants, especially if what she wants is Gavin.  I decided to try to get some steps on video today, and I'm so glad I did.  Remember, I'm the one recording and trying to get her to walk to me, so excuse the poor quality, but watch Riley take 7 steps to get to me! :) 

 

Pool Time with the Fam

I am so glad that we decided to bite the bullet and join the pool this summer.  The last two summers have been very hot and miserable, so I was really excited when Gavin's teacher told us about a pool that was open for summer memberships.  We signed up Memorial Day weekend, and I think we've already been 6 times.  Two of those times were with my family.  

Gavin loves to play in the 'cat pool' as long as there's no splashing.  It took me a while to figure out why he called it that and then it clicked...I told him the pool had a 'kiddie pool' but he heard 'kitty pool.'  Love the innocence of the child....makes my heart smile.

Riley loves hanging out in her float.  She will spend a good hour or two just floating around the pool, and will get in the big pool with us, too.  But, just like her mommy, she eventually needs to take a break to snack.

I <3 these kids!

After a couple hours at the pool, her little toes are so wrinkled!

The lighting in some of these pictures sucks.  It's so hard to see the preview on the camera when it's super bright outside.  Oh well....the memories are still there! :)
