That's what I call you. Well, in case you didn't know, I write blogs on your lives so you can look back at the pictures and stories and know why you are who you are. For better or worse I guess. :)
I know, I'm lazy, this is your first blog post and you're already eight months old... gah. Well, you haven't been too active so far. Well, now that I think of it, that's not exactly true.
As a baby, you have been very active and super aware of everything, much to our dismay. You are sooooo hard to put down for naps. You always have to see what is going on or what you can destroy next. Don't get me wrong, it's a good thing and we are very glad you are so intellectually curious, but damn it's hard. You let us know it if you're bored and you become bored pretty quickly. It's all about something new with you. I'm convinced that you'll be a scientist of some sort. Your mom thinks a doctor, but I won't wish bad things on you. :)
Your two favorite people in the world are your Mumm mumm mumm and Logan. You absolutely adore your older brother. You call your mommy Mumm mumm mumm. You actually started calling for her when you were four months old. It was cool that you were so young, but it also seemed like you wanted your mommy all the time.
You are a super happy and smiley baby. You have been ever since your tummy quit hurting. Your first couple weeks, or maybe it was months, you keep getting belly aches. I noticed how hard your belly was one night and we started giving you probiotics. Problem solved.
Right now I'm in a war with the Darkside. You'll learn that we come from an extremely sexist society and it's a pain to combat. I'm always fighting to keep you out of pink dresses or squelch too much talk about how pretty a dancer you'll be. Don't get me wrong, you can wear whatever colors or do whatever activities you want when you are older, I just want YOU to have the choice and not someone else making it for you.
Maybe I should call it the Pinkside instead of the darkside. I think I would actually be ok with it if it were the darkside. "Chhuurrr chhuurrr Riley, I am your father."
So far your favorite food is sweet potatoes, I think that may change someday. lol You do like to dance. But your favorite thing to do is to explore and inspect everything. You are always picking at stuff to figure out how it works. You watch us a lot then pick up the same thing and try to repeat it. Unsuccessfully most times. Like one day when you picked up a horn that Logan was blowing. You put it in your moth and did nothing else. You took it out and looked at it like, "Umh, where is the squeaky noise that I heard him make?"
Quick update on the family. Your big sister Brooke in in Tuscon for her military training. You'll know what that training was someday. Your mom works at Pitt and I'm becoming a butcher. It's weird to think that you'll have never known me as a scientist. Your brother just turned three and still loves Thomas the Train. I have a funny story about his frustration with my name, but I'm going to save the story for his blog. ;) These blogs are your spaces.
Well Sweet Bug, I gotta go. I really need to finish this book I'm writing. I'm finishing up God's Will. I hope when you read this blog that the book was a best seller and just one of many.
