sorry for the delay!!! we have had such a busy time lately. tyler’s been working early nights – 5pm til sometimes 3am. then he works for edge during the day and somehow still manages to spend time with us. he left last weekend to go on a motorcycle ride up through the blue ridge mountains (i am so jealous) but it was okay b/c riott, beckie, and i got to go to milledgeville, GA for a wedding (you know tyler was green with envy!)! b/c i was asked to be the wedding planner, we had to be there (2 hours away) on Thursday by 6pm… let’s just say it only took loading half of a kitchen (beckie made the cake), busting out a screen door, and crunching the hummer mirror to get us there by 7pm. whew. what an adventure.

next, i got to lead the rehearsal, stay up until 4am to finish favors and programs, AND shoot photography for this lovely lake wedding (only stopping to offer up a boob to mr. riott). i must say we had a wonderful time with some great folks! riott wasn’t thrilled about being away from dad (and mom too) for 2 days but he did so well for Grammie.

riott’s doing so many new things! it’s sad b/c every time he does something new, he stops doing something old. <sniff, sniff> however, one thing he’s moved beyond – that i am SO thankful for is… he was going from the sitting position to his knees (on all fours) then to his belly. it was awful only b/c he ONLY wants to be upright… so he’d get on his belly and whine, moan, groan, scream, etc. until mom came and sat him back up (which would happen about 75 times each day)! finally – he’s going from sitting, to his knees, to his belly, PLANKING ON HIS TOES (the pushup position), BACK TO ALL FOURS, AND ON TO THE SITTING POSITION!!! waaahoooo! we have a video, tyler will upload it soon. our little boy is growing up!

his favorite toy is currently a little step-stool we bought from ikea. $3.50 goes a long way with a little boy who wants to be all over everything but is stuck in one place (for now). below you’ll see some recent pics. NO RIOTT DOES NOT HAVE RED HAIR. haha! it looks like it in certain lights but so did tyler’s as a baby. sometimes it looks red, sometimes blonde, and sometimes brown. he’s a talented boy!

where’s riott? see riott loves ikea too! notice riott’s first boo-boo – on him’s nose!
