1st Finger Painting from Rileigh!

I picked Rileigh up from her MDO today and the teacher showed me what she made! It's her first time using finger paint! She got to color the letter "o" and then they did a hand print with her picture!

1st day at Mothers-Day-Out Program!

Rileigh started her first day at Mothers-Day-out today! We went last night for open house and she seem to like it. Her teachers name is Miss Christy and the asst. teachers name is Christy too (easy to remember!!). The asst. teacher reached for her last night when we got there and Rileigh went right too her! Then she wanted to get down and check out all the new toys! Their are 6 kids in her class 2 girls and 4 boys! She was playing with them last night and seem to be having fun! I got to admit I was kinda nervous going today, Rileigh is use to being with mommy all day! I couldn't believe it....when we got there Miss Christy put her arms out for Rileigh and Rileigh went right to her again! I kinda step to the side and waited to see if she was going to cry or not. NOPE, she got down and started playing with the toys! I was Shocked and happy all at the same time! I stayed for a few minutes and once I realized she was fine I was able to sneak out without her seeing me. I asked the teacher if she had my cell phone number in case she needed me to come get her, she could tell I was nervous about leaving her today! She was really sweet and said if you want you can call the main # to check on her today or if you want I can give you my personal cell phone I have it in my pocket with me at all times. I thought that was really sweet of her. I got to admit, I did call around 10:30am to check on her, I just knew by then that she would realized that I wasn't there and started crying...nope wrong again Miss Christy said she was having a ball playing with all the other kids! After that I knew everything was going to be okay and that we made the right decision in putting her in the program.

I took a few pictures of her this morning before we left. I didn't take my camera with me (seeing how I thought she would be balling her eyes out!!) I must of been the only mom there today without her camera :-( I think it was best though that I didn't, I think then Rileigh would of been more likely to start crying and realize what was going on...maybe in a couple weeks when she's comfortable with the program I can get some of her in her new classroom with her teachers!

12 month check-up

Rileigh went for her 12 month check-up today. She has a little runny nose but other than that the Dr. said she look's great! And as always Dr. Adams said she was a "tall & Skinny" child!!!! I just hope for her sake she stays that way!!! :-)

Happy Birthday Babygirl

Happy Birthday Rileigh!!

I cannot believe just one year ago today, we were saying hello to each other for the first time.

I love you and what other way could I say happy birthday than to do it with Tigger!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!

Rileigh's 1st Birthday!!

Wow...a year has already come and gone! Rileigh had her big ONE birthday party this weekend! She had a ball. We had a big bouncy thing for all the kids to play in- Rileigh loves it and it's great to keep all the other kids entertained!! We had a great turn out...she has lots of great friends and family! She got lots of great toys! She was so excited about her toy's she woke up at 4:30 AM this morning wanting to play with all her new things and eat her puff's she got!!!! Needless to say I was exhausted! We played till about 5:45AM then I made her go back to bed. She needed to get some sleep for her one year pictures today! We had some family pictures taken as well. The photographer told us about this cool place in Tullahoma "Rutledge Falls" it was beautiful! I can't wait to get the pictures back! We took a bunch down by the water fall. We had Rileigh standing in the water next to a rock....all was going great till she decided to sit down in the water and daddy didn't stop her in time!!!!

This has been one exciting year for Dennis and I. We have a beautiful baby girl that we love so much! Each day just amazes me. She has grown so much this past year and is turning into a beautiful girl. I love you so much Rileigh....words can't describe my love for you!

XOXOXO
mommy!
