Riley is all tucked into her little nest, sound asleep like a good little bird should be at this hour. She is worn out from a busy day of doctor's apts in Dallas and a fun fall festival at the church. As you can tell, Riley was a blue bird. I am honestly surprised that her costume came together, and that she left it on!
Donnie and I went to a costume party on Sat. night dressed as Dr. 90210 and one of his plastic-y patients. Dr. 90210 is a rediculous show on the E channel about plastic surgery performed by a rediculous dr. who pumps iron before he performs surgery and cuts the sleeves off of his scrubs. I taped a "Dr. Rey's to-do list" on my hospital gown with all kinds of crazy things on it. I had a fake butt on my back side!
Enjoy!

Oh where, oh where did she get those curls!

People ask me all of the time if her hair is naturally curly???? I think that if it weren't...Riley would have a ton of burn marks from the curling iron because this child does not sit still for much of anything! As her hair grows....it seems as if the curls are getting tighter. We are still not sure where the curls came from....maybe Uncle Travis!

Fall Fun!

A day at Green Meadows Farm with my friends, Jillian, Jayna, Chloe, and Sidney!

My latest project

Here is my latest project. The room is so cool, with a stage, a playhouse built right into the room, and a special closet just for dress-up clothes (the door is sized just for children!). The house is beautiful...and big, 7,000 sq. ft. Oh, the life of the young and wealthy!

SO CLOSE!

Riley is so close to walking on her own! She is gaining more strength and more confidence everyday. Mom and I took her to see the orthopedic doctor the other day and he still says no braces, and that it should be soon that she walks. I asked him about her feet rolling in and he said lots of kids without spina bifida or anything have feet that roll in...it's just part of learning to know where your feet are and how to place them. Her hips are in place and look great too.
Here she is pushing a doll umbrella stroller, it is very unstable, so she has to use a lot of her own strength to balance herself.
Mom left yesterday. We miss her and wish they lived closer. I can not believe how Riley immidiatley remembered her. She had no anxiety toward her at all.....in fact, I think she prefered hanging out with cool Lu Lu over mommy!
