18 Weeks!

The belly is getting bigger and I should be here in less than 5 months now!

Snow Fun!

Mommy and I had a GREAT time playing out in the snow on Saturday! It was the first time I had been able to use my snowsuit and sled that I got for Christmas and boy was it fun! It was a good thing we went out in the morning because the snow was completely melted by the afternoon!

The trim was definitely needed!

I'm a Big Girl Now!

I have had an adverturous past week during my transition into the pre-toddler room. I'm becoming an "expert" at new things, including sitting in a big girl chair and eating at the table and sleep on a cot!! My first day on the cot was great! I went right to sleep and didn't try to get back up. My teachers were very impressed. Mommy was told that I need to work on being quiet when I wake up, but all of the kids need to work on that :) I am also really enjoying all the new toys in the room and like playing with my new friends.

I also got my first haircut yesterday!! Mommy finally admitted that my bangs were getting out of control and I needed to be able to see. So my teacher, Julie, in the Crawlers room, gave them a good trim yesterday. My new "style" looks great and mommy said that she even thinks that it makes me look older.

Another Appointment for Uhoh

Mommy had another regular appointment this past Tuesday. She also happened to be sick, so that was the main reason for the appointment (her appointment wasn't supposed to be until the 15th). The appointment went great, though, and my heart beat was 161. Mommy also had her blood drawn for the "Quad Screen" which tests for some genetic defects including Down's Syndrom and Spina Bifida.

Christmas 2008

The whole O'Neill family had a great Christmas this year. Thank you to everyone who helped make it memorable!

Riley is 13 Months Old Already!

I've entered into my second year with a bang!! In the past two weeks I've started standing up on my own and taking steps, and I'm up to being able to walk 7-8 feet at a time if I feel like it! I seem to be taking after the Bryant women and their love to shop! I like to put my bucket in the crook of my arm like a purse and walk around with it like I am shopping. I also am able to say a new word-"byebye". To me it means that I am going somewhere, not that anyone is leaving me, so I love to wave to myself and say byebye.

I'm looking forward to seeing all of my family in less than a week!!
