Riley Jean she's the Dancing Queen

Fun in the Sun

My (April) parents were in town this weekend mostly to go to market to get stuff for the store in Albert City but also to go to a Lorrie Line concert in Osseo. I took a couple days off to spend some time with them and Riley. On Tuesday we went with Dave and the boys to a "splash pad" in St. Louis Park. It was pretty much an area that had water spraying out of various objects. The boys had a lot of fun and Riley enjoyed splashing around a little too.
Riley also had her 9 month check up this week. (I know, she's already 10 1/2 months. We're a little late with this one.) The good new of the check up was that there weren't any shots to have but the bad news was that they had to do a routine lab test so they had to draw some blood. She did really great with this. Of course there was a lot of crying but the lab tech said that she was the best he's had do to because she didn't curl her finger. She's our tough little girl. She weighed 17 lbs 2 oz, which is in the 25th percentile, and is 29 1/4 inches long, which is in the 97th percentile.
As you can see from below she is also eating lots of food. She is pretty much eating whatever we eat which is nice because we don't have to prepare a whole different meal for her now.
Time is flying... I can't believe how big she is. Just around the corner is her first birthday and I'm sure she will be walking soon. The wild ride continues...
