Falling of the Planet . . .

I am amazed that it has been three months since I last posted! 

Looking at that last post it is funny to think that Riley grabbing what he wants out of a container was a new phenomenon, since that is what he does all the time now.  He is growing up so quickly and keeps amazing us everyday with all the fun new things he is doing.

He has been walking since right around his first birthday, July 4th.  He is working on talking too.  He says quite a few words and a handful of animal sounds too.  I am totally impressed with all of the things he understands though.  Even though he can't say it, he can point to quite a few body parts.  He can  also point out many animals and various other objects.  It is amazing!  Being a parent is so incredible!  Here is a random sampling of pictures from the last few months.

Eating some lunch

At the science museum at Balboa Park.  They have an exhibit with 50,000 Jenga-type planks of wood that you can create whatever you want with.  So fun!

After a good day of surfing

We bought this awesome "Bubble Gun" at the San Diego fair and it is so fun to use during Riley's bath

Gary's brother Bryan had some fun in the surf while he was here

Gary has recently taken up Geo-Caching.  This is a shot of his first Geo Cache.
