Rileigh and her hands!

Rileigh really has discovered her hands and grabs everything now. She absolutely loves stuffed animals. We are working on sitting up...not quite there yet. She can hold it for couple of seconds and over she goes. All I can say is that Scott and I are really blessed to have such a happy baby. Here are some pictures from this morning.
Just Chillin in my chair

Practicing my throw for daddy

No more monkeys jumping on my head

My favorite thing to do is....SMILE!

Rileighs 1st Easter

We had a great day spending time with family today. We went to church and stopped by Scott's moms house. Then we drove to Marietta to see my parents and family. Rileigh looked so cute today! Here are some pics.

5 Months old

Rileigh turned 5 months old yesterday. Wow how that last month flew by. I have heard from many people that 5 months was their favorite month. So we are going to sit back and soak her in. She is getting such a personality. I just want to pick her up and eat her she is so cute. Last night was really the first real giggle we heard from her. Scott was tickling her and she would let out a loud scream followed by the cutest giggle you have ever heard. My camera is a piece so I am not able upload any pictures right now. When I can we will update you. Rileigh is also eating fruits now. She has had bananas, peaches, pears and applesauce. So far her favorite is bananas. She kicks her legs and waits with her mouth open for the next bite. It seems like yesterday she was born, and next month she will already be 1/2 a year old!

Big girl in her high chair

Rileigh is offically a big girl and can sit and eat in her high chair. I love her big smile....all gums! She is starting to laugh now. Before is was just a high pitched squeal, now she actually giggles at you. I love everything about this little girl. I can't wait to get home each day to give her a million kisses. She is changing so fast, before we know it she will be sitting up. Here are some pics of her in her high chair.


Big Smile!

Baby Food

Well Rileigh is officially eating baby food now. We started with carrots and she hated them. She gagged, then spit them out. She loves sweet potatoes and squash. This week we get to try green veggies...yippee! Here are some pics from the first time she ate baby food. Kinda messy but we are getting better at it.

Rileigh is sick

Last night Rileigh was running a low grade temp. Luckily today we had her 4 month check up. She now weighs 13 lbs 9 oz and she is 25 1/4 inches long. She is in the 50th percentile for weight, 80th for height and drum roll please....90th for her head. Her new nick name is "tater head". Tater heads run in the Raftelis family. Our niece has one too! I feel so bad for Rileigh. It's easy to tell when she is not feeling well b/c today she has not smiled once which is very unusal for her. She is very fussy too, which is very unusal as well. All she wants to do is sleep. You feel so helpless, I wish I could be sick for her. The good news is it is a viral infection and should go away on its own. The bad news is we have to go back on Tuesday for her shots.
