A post from Shutterfly...

For those of you that don't know, I post all of my pictures on a Shutterfly site- www.theriegofamily.shutterfly.com. Feel free to visit if you don't already! There I do a montly journal entry to remind myself of my kiddo's milestones. I have cut and pasted that below- as I know I have really slacked on this blog in the last few months. Let's just say blogger and I weren't on speaking terms for awhile. But I am back, and I am starting with something easy- my shutterfly post- to catch everyone up. Get ready for big changes in May, when one miss JenB will assist me with all things blogger, so I don't boycott this thing again.

Enjoy!

We had such a busy month! I have started a blog, www.theriegofamily.blogspot.com. Feel free to visit- but don't get too excited. I got in a fight with it this month when I had some trouble posting. But- tonight I will begin again!

This month...

I went on my first extended trip away from both kids (Vegas!), Easter, Mimi and Papa came to visit (Dylan has officially changed his name from Pop-Pop to Papa), Dylan turned 2, Rae was baptized, Danny's basketball season officially started, Dylan hit 30 lbs, Rae hit 15, and Rae finally got over her "cold" and is sleeping beautifully without coughing. Dylan counted to ten last night and I got it on video! He also did a summersault today and said "awesome" after he did it! He then proceeded to do it a hundred more times until he crashed into the baby seat-that I should have put away months ago... He is so cute! Rae is still pretty unhappy on her belly, but will get up on all fours, rock back and forth, and scoot backwards! She can sit up and play with her toys, and melts our hearts everytime she smiles- which is a lot. She belly laughs when I tickle her and has started eating stage two baby food!


We had Dylan's bday party at Yogi's in Bloomington, and we were so fortunate to have the whole family there. He was thrilled with his Handy Manny coloring books, his "tools", and his books! We got him a bike that luckily Papa put together before he left! We have taken it out a few times, but he still isn't quite sure about the pedals. Hard to believe that Rae is more than halfway to 1! I officially feel like she isn't quite my baby baby girl anymore...More on that later in my blog!!
