San Fran

Riis and I just got back from the ASDC conference in San Francisco. Mema flew in and watched Riis the whole week. I learned a lot, worked really hard, and still had time to hang with the ladies, take a few 3 generation runs, and see the sights. Here are some pictures of the hotel, Mema and Riis, and the day we walked across the Golden Gate Bridge.

Biggest bed Riis has ever slept in.

Mema has a diaper on Riis' head, and she loves it!

Pretty little ladybug. Mema bought this dress for Riis aka Ladybug

We took Riis out of the Bob for a photo op.

3 Months 3 Days

Here is Little Miss Riis at 3 months and 3 days.
Today we played on her little gym for a long time and she found herself in the mirror.
We ended the day by going on a date to Ryans (a yummy restaurant in town) with Daddy.
Riis hung out in her stroller for the whole dinner and feel asleep as the sun set on our beautiful day.
I love this picture because she looks so tired and ready for a nap. Those little ears are coming out a little too :)

St Patrick's Day

Mommy's little ladybug was a little grumpy today. Riis is usually happy during our morning run, but today she made me run fast so we could get her home and out of the stroller.  She went back to bed for a very long 3 hour nap and woke up a little happier. 

Riis is chewing on EVERYTHING! She chews on her hands, my hands, Daddy's hands, toys, blankets, her stroller straps, really anything she can fit in her mouth.

1 Month

So Riis is one month old. At her one month check up she measured in at 11 pounds 3 ounces and 22 1/4 inches

She is just the best little angle we could ever have asked for. Riis sleeps for 5-6 hours during the night and is up every 2-3 hours during the day to eat and make super sweet faces at us. 

We have many nicknames for her. Tom calls her: Shortcake, The Sweed, and Honey. I call her Honey Bunny, Baby Girl, and Lil Sunshine. 

Our favorite time of day is at night after Riis' bath. We put her on our bed and have "family time." This is when we read to her (we read My Daddy and I, Count My Kisses Little One, and a book of nursery rhymes.) Tom also likes to play with her and have her practice running and working on her volleyball moves. He pumps her legs and says, "run, run, run, run, run!" and then makes her bump, set, and spike, spike spike! I love watching them play together.

We started cloth diapers once Riis lost her belly button stump. It has been way easier than I thought it would be. The only time we use disposables is when we take Riis out. She has been to Costco, Babys R Us, Target, Savers, Genki Sushi, Ross, and Chili's.
