12 month appt!
Riley had his one year doctor's appointment, and it was a rough afternoon. Riley's class is preparing him to move to the pre-toddler room by adjusting his routine. No more morning nap! He is adjusting well, however on Monday his doctor's appointment was at 1pm (nap time) which wasn't a good idea. He did OK in the waiting room for 45 minutes.... (OUCH) and then his pedi decided to start him with the finger prick (double ouch) for Hgb and lead screen. So we finally get him calmed down from that and they are ready to bring him to a room. Next comes height and weight and temperature (which was an ordeal) and then he was happy again even while we talked to the pedi...until he had the nerve to try and listen to Riley. (Since he had RSV and was traumatized at the ED...he hates the stethoscope) Then to top it off...three shots. Riley was inconsolable, and then predictably passed out on the walk to the car and took a nap for 3+ hours before we woke him up.

A photo diary...
Dennis had to work very late on St. Patty's day, so Riley and I sent a photo journal of our activities during the evening to make him feel like he wasn't missing out on anything.
After going to the grocery store, we played outside until time for dinner!
After dinner we came upstairs and played with his NEW chair!!!
The philly phanatic was riding the ATV!
Then it was time for a bath!!
Then reading a book and then time for bed!!
We hope you enjoyed a brief glimpse into our bedtime routine!
Happy Birthday Riley!!
Yesterday, 3/16, was Riley's first birthday!! We had a fun day; Dennis and I were both off from work and we spent the day with Riley. He woke up and we played, and had breakfast. Then we went to get professional photos taken, which was harder than in the past, Riley kept running away.
Then we took a nap and after that we went to daycare to share cupcakes with Riley's friends there.
After that we went to get Riley's very first haircut, which was an experience. We went to pigtails and crewcuts and they were great- when Riley decided halfway through that he was done they artfully bribed him with animal crackers until they were done.
After the haircut we went to the playground and had a wonderful time there, then home for a nap!
In the evening Dennis' parents and Chris and Amanda and Mikey all came over. They had fun playing with Riley and opening presents (Riley wasn't super into opening presents yet, but liked the toys after the fact) and eating another cupcake (with Ice cream this time!)

Spring antics
Riley is becoming more adventurous by the day. Last fall, he hated to touch the grass and since he was crawling, we pretty much could contain him to the blanket. No longer...he is off and running through the yard, and he loves to play with the pinwheel we have in Delaney's garden.
He loves his tickle me elmo and kisses his tummy when he's laughing!
As his one year birthday comes upon us, Riley is showing us how much trouble he can get into! We took him to the store and he climbed up INTO the shelves, and he can run the length of an aisle in no time!
He also loves playing with a balloon that he got for Valentine's day, and a box that we got from costco. Needless to say all that money we spent on toys has been wasted!
He loves his tickle me elmo and kisses his tummy when he's laughing!
He has been trying to get into the tub, and hiding behind the curtain.
He LOVES to push doors open and closed to play hide and seek!
We've had fun taking advantage of the nice weather for walks and trips to the playground also!
Every day is a new adventure and we are having so much fun!!
