Summer 2009

Summer is upon us and we are having lots of fun staying cool in our new pool. Riley had her 6 month check-up today. She weighs 18 lbs 4 oz and is 27 inches tall. That puts her in the 80th percentile for both. The doctor said that she is "perfectly proportioned". Sean and I were thinking she may have a bit too much chub (if that's possible for a baby). She is one happy baby who is full of smiles (except when it's time to catch some z's). Her bottom two teeth have popped through and she is up on hands and knees and wobbling back and forth but no official crawl yet.


Max is continuing with guitar lessons. He enjoys practicing with Riley as his audience. Most mornings this gives them some nice bonding time and allows me to grab a shower. It's a Win-Win-Win for us all. Three afternoons a week he practices with the local swim team. He has been reading a lot this summer and just completed this roller coaster made from K-Nex.
