1 Year Check-Up

My mom and I took Riley for her 1 year check up yesterday. She weighed 23 lbs 8.5 oz. When she was born she was 8 lbs. 13 oz. That may not seem like much of a gain to some but come over here and carry her around and then tell me that. She is really tall for her age, 31 3/4 inches tall and is now in the 95th percentile for weight and the 99th for height and head circumference. We were PUMPED because we dropped from the 99th for weight too-she is finally starting to balance out with all the other kids her age. Well...not really but we like to pretend like she is. She did really good and we are excited that we don't have to go back until 15 months (or at least we hope).

My ticker works great!

Valentine's Day

Never been a fan of this holiday-way too commercialized for me but when you have a little one who was born on Feb. 12 you can't avoid the holiday hardly. My parents have come in town this weekend for Riley's birthday party and baby dedication at church tomorrow. As I sit here in a quiet house it's hard for me to imagine a year ago today I was bringing home this little person who needed me every minute of every day. Now she is at the mall shopping with Grandpa and Gigi and loving every minute of it.

On Thursday if you even mentioned her name I would start crying, "I can't believe my baby is a year old." People always say that time passes fast so enjoy the phase they are in or you will miss it. OH MY GOSH I MISS IT!!! The phases of life that she has flown through over the past year is unreal. On Thursday at school they had a little birthday party for her and Reagan who were born on the same day. I HATED missing it but she ate it up. When I woke her up that morning she seemed like a whole new little person. I dressed her up in her little v-day party dress and took pictures of her when I dropped her off. Even though she had no idea what was going on, she knew she was the center of attention and that was all that mattered.

During the day they sang "Happy Birthday" to the girls and had cake. When we got home she was so tired but when she woke up all that she could think about was her balloon.

You can't see it but her bloomers have her name on them-so cute!
