Riley

We left last wee to go to AZ to visit Riley. He is such a cute little boy and so sweet. I just love that new baby smell and those sweet little newborn cries. We got to hold him and feed him and it was so nice to bond with our little nephew. Hailey absolutely loved him. She wanted to hold him and she gave him tons of kisses. We couldn't get her to say Riley she just kept calling him "baby". Even now that we are home she will look at me and say "baby" and then do her all gone gesture. She was very good with Riley until we were in the car and she wanted to use his car seat for a foot rest. Riley was asleep most of the time so he didn't mind but I don't think she will be getting away with that the next time we see him (July yeah!!).

We went to an outdoor shopping center and they had this fountain for kids to play in. Hailey was a little hesitant at first but she got a little braver and started running around and getting in the water. The water cam up randomly so she would be standing right by one that wasn't on and all of a sudden water would shoot up and get her right in the face. She would laugh and start running around again. It was so cute to watch. It was a good thing we had an extra outfit in the diaper bag because she was soaked.

Another highlight of the trip for Hailey was seeing Roxy (their dog). Hailey loved teasing Roxy when she was behind the gate but as soon as they were in the same room Hailey would get scared and get on the couch. She petted her a few times but never got too close. Brian was on their computer a lot working on their I-tunes program and uploading pictures. Well Hailey always wanted to help him work so we got one of their old laptops and she went to work right along with her daddy. It is so cute to watch her copy what we do and to realize just how observant she is.

We had such a great time visiting everyone, and it was nice to just hang out. We are looking forward to watching Riley grow up and seeing Hailey form a bond with her little cousin.
