Four Months

Four Months

I know I will regret not taking the time to jot down how the last month has gone, but for now I am just a bit too tired.  In summary, I am desperate for the arrival of spring...Riley is lovely, blooming, and still not sleeping...  Charley had a crazy month and had mouth surgery so he is still recovering... and we are getting ready for our first flight with Riley to Seattle in a few weeks!

Accessory Troubles

There have been many times when strangers have approached me and asked whether Riley is a boy or a girl.  She does have an androgynous name, I stay away from pink as much as possible, and she doesn't have any hair so I can't really fault them.  One obvious solution to the problem would be "the headband" or other accessories to help make her gender a bit more obvious. There are SO many cute headbands out there just for this reason.  

But we have a few issues with head accessories in this family...

My apologies for the quality of these pictures... but you'll get the picture

Riley's Christening

Riley's Christening

This day was just precious...  It was such a special ceremony that brought all of our families together.  It meant so much to Charley and I to have my brother Ryan and his cousin Andrea stand as her Godparents - we couldn't imagine two other people more perfect for the job. 

Riley was a trooper.  She had to deal with being passed around in a fluffy, scratchy dress and having cold water being poured on her head.  And she definitely made herself known at the church - she has a set of lungs to say the least!
