A Bear in a Box

We are: 27 weeks and 5 days!!

Today we had Riley's 6 month check up and all went well. She was quite the trooper after her 5 shots!! She had the same 4 shots (and one orally), plus she had the booster for the flu shot. We will head back in a month for the other half of the flu shot. Right after the shots I scooped her up and about 30 seconds later she was sound asleep in my arms!! She was sound asleep, yet still sniffling...too cute!! Here are her stats:

* Weight: 18 pounds (87%)

* Height: 28 inches (99%)

Still at the top of the charts!!

On Sunday we had some visitors for the Redskins game. We dressed her in her finest Redskin gear (cheerleader outfit!) and her Uncle Tommy, Aunt Kerry, and Uncle Brian stopped by. Riley was not too fond of the cheering, a few times she would burst out in tears and needed some comforting. However, after a 2 hour nap she was back in high spirits and cheering on the Skins. Then her Aunt Kerry put her in her toy box....she loved it!! She also sitting on Uncle Tommy's shoulders. What a fun day that ended in a Skins win....good times all around!

We have started her on meats. Some chicken and gravy and turkey with gravy. They smell HORRIBLE, but she loves them, so she gets it!!

We are battling a bit of diaper rash. We are not sure if it is from a new food she ate or from her new wipes. But we are eliminating the new foods and sticking out the wipes. If it doesn't go away then we will try eliminating the wipes. The doctor today gave me a prescription for "butt paste" (that is the real name for it!!). She said to give the over the counter stuff a little time to work, but if it is still there on Wednesday then we should get the RX. But it was looking better tonight.

That is all from here. Hope you are all doing well!! We are looking forward to Kerry's wedding in 3 weeks!! We can't wait to introduce Riley to everyone!!

Hangin' with my Uncle Tommy

Feeding herself (not really, just holding the spoon!)
