Big Brother!

Okay, it's been awhile sine we've posted but here's something we hope is worth the wait. It's the latest addition to our family! We actually have the next ultrasound scheduled for about three weeks from so this photo is from March. Reilly is totally excited about becoming a big brother he just doesn't know it yet.

Snow Day!

We were hit with a big snow storm this week. While there was a bit of a lull in the storm we bundled Reilly up and took him out. He was enamored by the pretty snow. He was not so thrilled, however, when he would fall and not be able to get up due to the heavy boots and snow suit. All and all a much better experience then when we tried to introduce him to snow last winter. Let's just say he was not impressed.

Sock it to 'em

What could be more fun than pushing a bin of cat food around? Pushing a bin of cat food around with a sock in your mouth of course! Just a little taste of one of Reilly's favorite activities. The sock is just a bonus.

Rocktober!!!

It was a big month for our big one year old boy! Reilly turned 1 year old on the 16th. We celebrated with a jungle party at Long Park. It was a perfect fall day. Reilly enjoyed his first cake and seemed to really appreciate all of his gifts. He smiled and chirped with glee at all his new fun toys.
Reilly did his best to cheer on the Phillies even though they didn't make it to the World Series. He and mommy are secretly glad that the Giants did. Don't tell daddy!
We enjoyed dressing up Reilly as the Frog Prince for Halloween. He was a good sport and even enjoyed some trick or treating at the mall.

Our Big Boy!

Well, here we are at Reilly's eleventh month. It feels amazing that we are closing in one one year of having this little blessing in our lives. He continues to be a joy every day, charming us and it seems those around him. Having an especially intoxicating affect on the ladies at the supermarket checkout. With a sweet ride like this, who could blame them?

First Steps!

Reilly took some first assisted steps today. I stopped paying attention for two seconds and when I turned around he was off and running, pushing his toy car! I couldn't believe my eyes. I managed to recreate the moment a few minutes later in order to catch it with my camera. Hope you enjoy the video!

Summer Highlights

Although the relentless heat waves of summer '10 may have finally let up the sweet memories of fun in the sun linger on. Here are some of the highlights.
Getting up close and personal with my new sharky friend at the Baltimore Aquarium,
Grandpa and me at a Lancaster Barnstormers game, the Elizabethtown Fair where I got my first taste of french fries, yum! Finally me and dad riding the train at Hershey Park.
