"I have a WHAT?"

A one year old. Yup. I have a one year old. Um...I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. WoW! It really is amazing to look back on Riley's first year. I know I've blogged and blogged about it but it's only because everything little thing is simply amazing. I'm so grateful for my little Tre Monster! Quick year in review:

Born: March 4, 2009
Weight: 7 pounds 14 ounces
Length: 21 inches

Ear infections = ZERO
Diaper Rashes = ZERO
Sicknesses (other than the occasional runny nose) = ZERO
Vaccinations = ZERO
*Yes, I'm knocking on wood with every word I type hoping not to jinx myself!

One Year Later!
Weight: 24 pounds 4 ounces
Length: 3o 1/4 inches

It was one great year!

Here are some pictures from his first birthday party! We were so lucky that my Mom (thank you Joel) was able to be here and my best friend from high school, Korynn! We also got to celebrate with lots of other friends and family who we love dearly!

Of course we had a luau theme party!
*Thank you Marcos for being our "brown boy" for the day!




Thanks to everyone who sent gifts. Riley loves all his new toys!

Here is a video Joel made of Riley's first year. No, it's not 45 minutes...just a couple.

Wish we could've been there for the first year celebration...but thanks for posting the photos! I know it sounds cliche but it does go soooo fast...and unfortunately, it doesn't slow down:(

We loved the video - it was awesome! And our favorite part (of course) was the dance party! Wish we lived closer so we could have dance party with you guys all the time....maybe we can via skype?! Love and miss you all!
