I love living with a photographer

James and I are so lucky that we get to have Riley's pictures taken by a professional. These are precious pictures that we get to have for our whole lives. Yes, I know Xan you hate me...all I have to say to that is "Don't be jealous!"

How can you not just want to eat her up? :0)

Lake House

So this last weekend we decided that we were going to go up to the lake house and check up on a couple things. While we were there we decided to take some pictures and well, needless to say we have been meaning to do our Christmas card pictures, so we killed two birds with one stone. The only thing is that we had no idea we were going to do that so the pictures are what can I say "true" as can be. James isn't shaved, I have make-up on from the night before...and we aren't in nice clothes or anything. But I have to say that they are some of my favorite pictures.

A side note: Riley is five months old...gosh time is flying by, she is just so amazing. She is so alert. We are so blessed to have her in our family. She can stand up by herself (holding onto the side of the couch with her hands), she still hates tummy time...she can hold her head up good, she just HATES being on her stomach. Everyone thinks she is going to skip crawling and just start walking because she likes to stand so much. When you hold her she goes stiff legged if you try to make her sit on your lap. She is just such a joy, everyone that meets her always compliments on how beautiful she is and how good she is. James always says if they only saw her get mad...she is funny...she knows what she wants and will do anything to get it. She is very content being held or being outside. Both are fine by us.

Hello Blue Eyes

I may be bald...but I am beautiful. Riley is doing so good...she is now eating food. She loves oatmeal and butternut squash. She just can't get enough. :0)

Beach

Riley enjoying the ride with Papa, and the beach with GG & Papa. First time Riley touching the water with her feet :0) Originally I had socks on her...

Toes in the Sand

James not only put Riley's feet in the sand but also the cold ocean.

Riley's 1st trip to the Myrtle Beach

After Thanksgiving we decided to head off to North Myrtle Beach for Riley's first trip to the beach.

So, after Thanksgiving on Thursday we decided that we would head down to North Myrtle Beach for the weekend. We left on Friday and had a bunch of fun. Riley and I went shopping at the Outlet Malls while James, GG & Papa went golfing.
