Indianapolis trip

Riley and I are spending time in Indianapolis with my brother Chuck and Erin, Riley went camping for the first time and had a blast!! Here are some photos of our trip so far

These two pictures are in Columbus, where we met Chuck to pick me and Riley up, grandma gave her a new backpack for the trip!






Here is Riley with all of Chuck and Erin's doggies, well two of them anyway


This is John's cabin down state in Indiana near where we camped out


The fun camping trip!



Just a note, Riley did not ride in the back of the truck, she was just relaxing with Erin while everything was cleaned up, looks very comfy though

Riley takes her First steps!

This video was taken the next day of her trying it out again:

Easter Pictures

Riley's Grandpap Hruschak had very special pictures taken of Riley with REAL bunnies!



This next POOR little bunny, during the photo session, Riley grabbed the bunny by its back and swung it up over her shoulder back and forth a few times before the photographer could "save" the bunny from Riley - it was so cute!

And of course she had to make a visit to the Easter bunny - the crowd was helping make her smile!

Happy 1st Birthday Riley!

Here are pictures and video from Riley's 1st Birthday - April 19, 2008!! Enjoy!

Other cute pictures from the last few months:

Riley is growing!!

Princess Riley is growing way too fast! Yesterday she found her feet!!! I was so excited and happy, I walked into the living room and she was sitting in her chair with her foot in her hand, it was adorable! I have been showing her where it was for a little while now and taking her hand and grabbing onto it.

She is also enjoying baby 1st foods. I have some cute pictures to post with sweet potatoes all over her face, I just need to figure out how this camera works.

Halloween will be here soon, I am thinking of making her an angel costume for her first Halloween boo at the zoo, it would be easy enough for me to figure out and would keep her pretty warm, too.

The Applefest is coming soon and I am entering her into a cutest baby contest, people at the fest pay .25cents to vote on the baby they think is the cutest. I think it will be fun, she is gorgeous anyway, why not show her off a little. :)

Ms. Princess Riley

Hi! This is my new blog all about Princess Riley. She changes sooo much, and so fast that I want to remember all of it. She is now eating some solid foods, she loves sweet potatoes and rice cereal. In a few days we will be starting a new veggie as so far she does not seem to be allergic to sweet potatoes.

She is teething :( She has three teeth coming in, one on each side(all on the bottom) and one right in front on the bottom, one is about to break through the skin so she is pretty uncomfortable.

And this past week she started showing signs of what the doctor calls hand-foot-mouth virus. So she has been in some pain from that and that kills me, she has a very hoarse voice and sores all over her tongue and inner mouth. Today, however, the spots on her tongue are 50% gone!! And she has not been fussy all day. She had lost her appetite for a few days and was not sleeping good, last night she was up twice, she usually sleeps 10-12 hours a night, Thank God!

Sleep is great. Well, I took some pictures of her today, in her pretty new pink dress and one while I was feeding her, and one while she was using a safe-feeder teething mesh bag thingy, she is so adorable!
