Height: 26 1/2"
Weight: 17 lbs. 8 oz.

Riley was introduced to baby food in his sixth month. He absolutely loves baby food! (No surprise there) Riley eats three meals a day, and 3 bottles a day. Each meal consists of a bowl of rice cereal/oatmeal, and either a fruit or vegetable to go with it. So far, Riley's favorite foods are fruits....he'll eat vegetables, but you have to be careful because he likes to let the veggies fill his entire mouth, and instead of swallowing, he spits them out at full-force. :) Jon and I have learned not to wear white, when feeding Riley. Riley's favorite foods are: prunes, applesauce, sweet potatoes and pears. Riley discovered how to use his legs to bounce himself up-and-down in his bouncer. Apparently he thinks anything he sits in bounces, because he tries to bounce in his high-chair too. He is so close to crawling, it's not even funny! Riley likes to roll all around and tease the dog. He hasn't quite figured out how to crawl on his knees yet, so he does this army crawl, where he pushes himself forward with his toes....it's actually quite amusing! Riley went to see his pediatrician this month, and had a hay-day looking at himself in the mirror in the exam room. He got 4 shots, and didn't even cry! He's such a tough guy. One of our good friends, Charles, babysat the little guy for us a few weekends ago. So nice of him! Thank goodness Riley was well-behaved that day. Teething has become more prominent in our house. Riley hasn't had any teeth come in yet, but we can see them under his gum-line. I have this horrible feeling they'll all come in at once, but let's hope not! Riley got to go to his first OU Men's Basketball game this month, and he loved it!
