Today, Riley's first tooth broke through! It's a sharp little thing! It's one of her bottom front teeth. Our friend Ashley, who watches Riley while I'm at work, first discovered it and helped it to come through her gums by applying a little pressure. Ashley is so good with Riley and is good at finding out what's bothering her. She gave her little tablets to help with the pain and recommended some baby Tylenol.


Also this week, Riley went to the doctors on Wednesday. She is now 16 pounds and 6 ounces (78th percentile), 24 and 3/4 inches long (36 percentile), and her head circ. is 16 inches (16th percentile).

We sure do love our little girl!

While we were in Utah, my mom and I couldn't help but go to a few of our favorite places.

1. Macy's
2. Robert's Arts and Crafts and
3. Kneaders (yum!)
After Macy's, we wandered into University Mall where we found a great deal on Utah baby headbands. We are talking Big Fat Utah headbands. They were on sale for a dollar so we got one of every color--nine in total. Then, we went to Robert's to pick out some ribbon so Grandma could make some bows to stick on Riley's new Big Fat Utah headbands. Now, I wanted Grandma to make Riley's bows for two reasons.
1. Big Fat Utah bows are not cheap! and
2. Big Fat Utah bows are just that...BIG and FAT.
Although I think the big fat bows are cute, they are a little too big for my taste, especially since Riley has a little head. (Last doctor's appointment we found out that Riley's head circumfrence was in the 36th percentile).
The bows that Grandma made turned out so cute that I even stole one to wear to work last week. :)
So anyway, here are a few pictures of Riley wearing her new yellow headband and bow. (Note that the headband is so fat that I folded it in half...she'll grow into it someday!)




P.S. Thanks to Tenille for Riley's cute little green shoes!

More headband and bow pictures to come...as I said we have one of every color! (She wore the pink one yesterday and even Mike had to admit that it was adorable!)
