Everyone is getting BIGGER!!

Riley is ALMOST 18 months old!

I have been so bad about updating our blog (and taking photos for that matter). This will probably be the one and only entry before little Reese Ryan makes her appearance!
(24 days and counting...)

In a nutshell - the whole bunny/egg concept did not go over very well at our home. Here is our little girl all dressed up for church. You would have thought we were trying to kill her by making her wear that dress. Mom won on the dress, Riley won when it came to the shoes.

But she sure looked PRETTY!



She was much more comfortable with the dang thing OFF! I think we may have a little TOM BOY on our hands. :)





The Easter Egg Hunt wasn't a very big hit either.... she was pretty content with only one egg!
I had a good time watching Matt gather the rest... :)




The funniest thing of all was her visit to the Easter Bunny... let the photo speak for itself!

A few other important things to note... Riley is "cruising" around the couch, coffee table, etc. We think she is merely weeks away from walking. Look at our late little bloomer stand!




And yes... Mom continues to get bigger as well. In fact, Mom is officially HUGE. Here is the one and only belly shot we have or will take of Baby Reese! Only a few more weeks.....

Our little SCOOTER!

I wish I had a dollar for every time I've received the "concerned look" from a fellow mom when I tell them that Riley is not walking. I wonder what they would think if I told them that in fact... she's not even TRYING to walk. And why should she be... when she can scoot? She seems to think she gets around perfectly fine on her behind.

According to Nana Linda, Matt scooted the exact same way and didn't walk until 18 months.

I've decided I might worry if she's not walking by TWO. But for now, we just enjoy watching our little girl "scoot" and are thankful for such a joyful child! Enjoy the video - Christmas pictures to come soon.

HAPPY NEW YEAR and GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!
