Party time

This past Saturday, Riley attended her first birthday party. Our neighbor's daughter, Evelyn, celebrated her first birthday with a grand party. Riley got to play with lots of kids her age, and had a great time. Below, you can see Riley in the pink dress, in the middle of standing up. Evelyn is enjoying the tasty orange ball, so cute!!

The birthday girl needed a little assistance in blowing out the candle!

This past week, mom has been here keeping Riley, while Kim, Riley's sitter, was on vacation with her family. It was evident that Riley played hard and wore Nana B out, since she needed an extra nap Saturday morning prior to hitting the road back to Hattiesburg. Mom was a huge help during her week long stay. We managed to do a good bit of cooking, so my freezer is now re-stocked with dinners for Chris and myself.

Don't call Child Protective Services on us. We found her on about step 3, and just got behind her to see how much she would climb. Needless to say, the top of the picture is the top of the stair case, so the baby gate at the bottom is staying up no matter what. Please practice your hurdle abilities before visiting!!
It would be an understatement to say she is into everything. I'm sure her favorite toy is at the bottom of the toy box.
Who me?? Surely I didn't do something I wasn't supposed to do.
