15 month Check up

Rileigh went to her 15 month check up on Tuesday. She weighed 24.4lbs (70th percentile) and was 30 1/4 inches tall(45th percentile). Everything went great she is right on track except she is still not walking. The doctor said she is on track developmentally, she is just very cautious when it comes to walking. Hopefully soon she will be walking...who knows! She is getting so big and is so fun to be with.
She talks more and more everyday and surprises us sometimes with the things she knows or just blurts out...like "shoes" the other day. She is growing up way to quick for me.

It's a Girl

We found out today that baby # 2 is a girl!!! Her name will be Emma Caron Raftelis, and we will call her Emma. Caron is Scott's mother's maiden name, and his grandparents last name. We are so excited, how fun it will be to have 2 little girls. Poor Scott...they'll have him wrapped around his finger in a heartbeat just like me and my sisters do our dad! Looking forward to decorating the nursery and start shopping for more little girls clothes...yippee!

Monkey Joe's

Today my best friend Cathy, her son Riley, my Rileigh and myself went to Monkey Joe's in Kennesaw. What a blast we had but after an hour of chasing after our kids we were exhausted and so were they. Good thing Cathy was there b/c I would of never gotten Rileigh through and up some of the jumpie things.






After Monkey Joe's we took the kids to Chick-fil-a for lunch where Rileigh kept calling this weird looking man "Da Da" over and over again...embarrassing!
Then we went to visit Nana (my mom) at work. Rileigh got to play with her jewelry and meet people on 3 floors of City Hall in Marietta.


Then we went back to Cathy's house to play with her kids...don't forget your safety goggles!

An afternoon with Papa

Today my dad (Papa) came up to spend some time with Rileigh. She has been going through this weird phase where she won't go to other people when I am around. Well today Papa came to visit and she warmed right up to him. They read books together, played with all the toys on the floor and rocked in the rocking chair. By the way my dad makes the best animal noises ever! Please excuse her crazy hair

Rileigh in 20 years!

Baby # 2

So there has not been much to report on baby # 2. I'll be glad when we can finally call this baby by name. I go next week to the doctor so hopefully we may be able to sneak a peak to find out who this baby is. We'll let you know as soon as we know.

Holiday Recap

The Raftelis family had a wonderful Christmas although it did go by too fast. Rileigh would tear the packages open just enough to see inside and then get mad b/c daddy couldn't get the toy out fast enough. We spent Christmas Eve home together as a family and opened our presents. Christmas morning we went to Scott's family and Christmas day we headed to Marietta to my families house...busy day. Here are some pics.
