SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME

Well, this morning me and Riley did our normal routine when we woke up.. Watch cartoons and had breakfast.

But, today while we were playing, Riley decided to take a walk in the kitchen to play. I went to go get him ,and he had put something in his mouth. I tried to get it out, but he had already swallowed it.

After about 20 mins, he started to get cranky so I gave him a bottle and snuggled up to see if we would take a nap. All of a sudden he puked everywhere.. So, I hurried up and put him in the tub to clean him up, and I noticed he wasn't himself, he was pale as a ghost and kept bobbing his head to sleep. At this point I was nervous and called Case at work.. He told me to call my work (Wee Care) to see what we should do, and they told us just to call 911. Now, I was really nervous.. Next, thing I knew the police, paramedic, and fire department was in my apartment checking out Riley to see if he was ok. They said, it was best to take him to the ER to get checked out. So, we took an ambulance ride and got some blood test done.. (4 hours later) everything turned out to be just fine. (We still don't know what he swallowed)

Wow, what a scare to the family. Even though we work in the medical field and see this everyday, it is SOOO different when it comes to your own kid. We are so happy that he is a healthy little boy.

Riley is our pride and joy, and love him so much.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Wow, a whole year has gone by. I can't believe it.

I remember when we were at the hospital, everyone kept saying how tiny he was, at 5.2 pounds. They treated Riley like he was a preemie, but he was only a 2 days early. Now, he has tripled his weight.

He is such a happy little boy.
Every morning we wake up and watch some of his favorite shows.. Curious George, Cat in the hat, and Dinosaur Train. He will just sit and play while these shows are on.

Some fun things he does right now are he says "mmmm" when he sees food. Put his head on his blanket, knowing he wants to fall asleep, or just snuggle. He waves "bye-bye" when we go places. His favorite game is "where's Riley" and he play peek-a-boo with his blanket.

For his party, we had a Curious George party. I have never seen so many grandparents for one little boy. We had lots of fun, and he got SPOILED. We opened present (still loving the paper) and had some cake. (He really didnt dig into his cake, he really didnt know what to do with it. Riley got a lot of cool and fun things to play with.

Riley is such a joy to our lives. We love him so much.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RILEY BOY!
