Holy Cow!!

I can't believe I haven't updated my blog since Riley was born! Obviously I've been swept off my feet by that sweet little baby! So much to update y'all on so I will start with my favorite one and then add a little each day until you're all caught up. My Riley is now 5 1/2 months old and is the sunshine of my life! Chris, Jess, Steven and Riley have moved to an apartment in Corona that they share with Jessyka's Nana. I'm so happy now - they are right on my way home so I can stop and see her all the time. But also, I have been very lucky that I get to keep Riley as least 1 weekend a month so I do get my quality time with her too. As you'll be able to tell by the pictures that I'v posted, she has the best of her Daddy's genes! Everytime I look at her, I see her Daddy at that same age! She is a very happy baby - loves her Daddy, thinks her Papa is about the funniest thing she's ever seen, likes it when her big brother makes her laugh and likes to play tummy time with her Mommy. Of course NanaKaki's favorite time with her is right before she falls asleep when she cuddles up in my arms! It's all I can do to keep from just bursting into tears! Here are some of my favorite pictures from the last 5 months...
