Birthday party pics

I love throwing Riley birthday parties already. I love celebrating my baby boy. Here are a few of the highlights.
Here is his new bike from Grammy. He has gotten really good at riding it.
Here is a side picture of his "Mack Cake".
Some of the guests.
Mack with his head injury. I didn't get a picture of him until after Riley had a "taste".

Silliness with Aunt Mimi

I was getting ready and this is what I came out to...

(these are those tabs you put on papers to mark a page.)

We had the opportunity to go to NYC a few weeks ago with my sister and her family. I have been to New York a ton of times but it was totally different with kids. Riley loved it and had a great time.

Pictures:
Above is Ruby's first taxi ride, Riley seeing FAO for the first time (out of all the things in that store, all he wanted was a new york taxi with doors that opened), Riley looking at the "choo choo"(he loved the subway), Riley at the aquarium (what a face!!), and Riley with a New York pizza. He finished the whole thing all by himself.

It was fun seeing the city through his eyes. We had a great time.

Adorable!!!

My friend Megan found this necklace on Etsy and I thought it was so cute. Inside the locket is the inscription from the locket that Bella got for Reneesme. Adorable. What do you guys think? I want it but I have to talk to Chris into it.

My Angel Turns 3!!

I can't believe my baby turned 3 today. All day I have been thinking about the day he was born and the last 3 years. Being a first time mom I am sure I have made a lot of mistakes but Riley is so patient and wonderful. I know he knows we love him and we love him so much. I love being Riley's mom. He makes me laugh and cry. He makes me so proud and so frustrated. Being a mom is such a roller coaster of emotions, but I wouldn't trade being Riley's mom for anything in the whole world. I want to keep him little forever, but am so anxious for the next many years to see what kind of man he will become. I am so thankful for Riley and can't believe it has been 3 years.
