While Emilia & Lucy were visiting, so were my brother Tim and his girlfriend, Kelly! They were staying at our parents' condo, and they stayed until last Wednesday, the 28th. Such fun for Riley. A couple times Tim got Riley laughing harder than Ryan and I have ever seen, it was adorably cute and we want to know Uncle Tim's secret!! ;)
Here are Tim & Kelly lovin' on Rilers
And then after we dropped Tim at the airport (Kelly was heading straight there from work), Ryan and I took Riley to his FIRST Rockies Game!!!!! WOO HOOO!!!! So fun! It was a GORGEOUS day for it... in the 70s, and in the sun, probably 80 degrees. We had our usual 2nd row seats between 3rd base and left field, and were in the blazing sun... so we all coated up with SPF 55 for babes, and then put on hats and the like to ward off sunburn. But MAN it was hot.
Thankfully since it was a 1pm game on a Wednesday in April, there were plenty of empty seats, so the gentleman checking tickets at the top of our section suggested we move into the shaded area if we wanted... so at about the 5th inning, we did just that, and we were ALL happier!!!
Riley was more interested in the banner lights blinking around Coors Field than the game itself, but he and his daddy had a great time.
Lastly, Riley hit the 4 month mark this past week, and thus had his 4 month check-up... we'll move past the icky vaccinations and post-vaccination fussiness that ensued this past weekend due to said doctor visit, and right into the good news that he is more than double his weight when we brought him home from the hospital... he weighed in at 12 lbs 14.5 ounces (12th percentile) and was 24 1/2 inches long (32nd percentile). We were therefore given the go-ahead to start him on Rice Cereal in addition to nursing. So we've done that twice so far... Saturday and Sunday nights... he gets more of it on his face and bib than in his mouth, but it's fun all the same. :)
The only other news fit to print is that on Saturday we went up to Loveland and had lunch with Riley's Aunt Megan, Grandpa Williams, and GREAT Grandma and Grandpa Williams! What fun! We didn't get any pictures, but they sure did love on him quite a bit. :) Next time we'll have to take some pictures... too bad he was still pretty fussy from the vaccinations so not really agreeable to sitting still for pictures.
Okay, so I think that catches us up...
Kristin, we're thinking of you and hoping you have good news on El Cinco de Mayo!!! I put my "money" on a little girl, right on time... hopefully the Thelen genes kick in and boot those always-running-late-male-Edwards-genes to the curb this time around. HAHAHA! XOXOX!!!
Love,
The Williams

yea! first cereals are so much fun! and those chubby chubber cheeks are so adorable!
Ohhhhhhh sighhhhhhhhhhh to go to a MLB game! Those are really the only professional sports events I love to see live (Dave likes hockey but BRRRRRRRRR and ummm maybe not so much in NC). I think Liam would love it! So glad Baby R is getting into the fad nice and early!!
I LOVE his little face. He looks incredible-- very happy and healthy. Well done with the power food, Mom!! And I didn't do "solids" until six months but I distinctly remember the moment. It was so exciting!
Awesome Uncle Tim visit too! What is it about these babes and their aunties/uncles? They just adore them. As well they should!
Thanks for the well-wishes... this kid has about 48 hours left to be a Thelen... otherwise the "fashionably late" Edwards genes will be taking over! Keep an eye out on FB and on my blog... the updates, when the time comes, will be there!
LOVE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!
