He is almost 4 months old already! I will try to remember to have Gary help me weigh him tonight, but he is getting so big! He and I walk to the grocery store almost every day (me walking, him along for the ride in the Baby Bjorn) and I can definitely tell that he is getting bigger. By the time we get home my shoulders and back are starting to complain.
He is getting so strong too! He likes to stand up, with a little assistance of course. He also spends a lot of time on his tummy, just hanging out.
He loves to play in his Exersaucer. He discovers new things to play with on it all the time.
His daddy makes him giggle a lot. It is so cute!
He has started to talk in his loud voice. It sounds like he is yelling, but he is just talking really loud.
When he is laying on his back he loves to stick his little chunky legs in the air. Doing that all the time has made his little abs a lot stronger, maybe I should do it with him!
He likes to sit up straight, but he is still working on being able to do it on his own. Sometimes he just falls forward or backward, but he is getting better.
We help him out by propping him up with the Boppy.
I think he might be teething. However, my opinion on this changes almost everyday. He drools all the time, he likes to gum my fingers, and he has been a bit cranky as of late.
He has kind of rolled over a couple of times. Usually it is more of an accident than anything, but it sort of counts. Here is a little video for you to see.
He used to say "oh" all the time and it was so cute because he would make his little mouth into a perfect tiny circle and his face would have a very serious concentrated expression on it. Unfortunately he doesn't do it much anymore, but here is a little video clip of it. (The video isn't really awesome, but you can still see him do it. Every time I would put the camera in front of his face to film he would stop doing it and just stare at the camera. What a stinker!)
He is also working on grabbing things and putting them in his mouth. It is cute! What usually ends up in his mouth is the back of his hand and not the toy, but you can tell that he is trying to work it out.
So that is my Riley update. Can't wait to bring him to Salt Lake for Thanksgiving so everyone can see him, but until then this will have to do.

Oh I miss that little boy. I can't wait until Thanksgiving when I can hold him and play with him some more. I have told Matt before that the best workout would be to lay on the floor and copy all the things Matson does. Sounds like you have the same idea. Thanks for sharing all the cute pictures and video. Give the little man a hug and kiss for me. We love all three of you!
What a fun update! His little chunky rolls could not be cuter. Brea was a little chunk as well...just the way a baby should be!
