Labor Day Weekend - Just Add Water!!

This Labor Day weekend we spent a lot of time around water... the pool, the lake, the water table.

We went to Hamilton with Uncle Matt.  :)

Then we went to Grandmother & Pop's lake house...
and it turns out, paddle boards make fantastic floats!

Lib, Anna & Carly  :)

Nap time!!

Goofy time!

My dad smoked some meat... mmm!

Water table play date with Parker & Ellie the next day.  :)
They got water everywhere - and loved it!

Spending good time with friends & family is the BEST.  

The Children's Museum!

The Greensboro Children's Museum is a super fun place to take little ones who can walk... 
especially on First Fridays when it's only $2!  :)

Davis, you look so teeny!

Helping Daddy stack up logs...

...and knocking them down!  TIMBER!

Mr. Fireman!

My worst nightmare.  :)

The buttons are the best!

We tried to get a picture with all the kids... 

This was the best we got.  They're on the move!

Ellie has the best style! GO HEELS!

It's so fun to watch Davis explore & learn!

Start 'Em Young... Raise 'Em Right! GO HEELS!

We took Davis to his first official Carolina football game today!  I took him to a UNC game last year but my dad walked around campus with him in the stroller during the game & let him nap (what a good Grandaddy!) so he didn't actually go in the stadium.  So...today was his first real game! 

It was a beautiful day... but hot!

Dad & Isaac get tickets for lettering & we benefit.  :)

With Mimi!

Man alive, I love this child!

Thanks for my shirt Aunt Eliza!!

This little one LOVES his Daddy!

My family!

Davis missed his afternoon nap during the game (he was such a trooper!)
and he fell asleep as soon as we put him in the car.   :)

Thanks mom & dad {and Isaac} for the tickets... GO HEELS!!

A Look Back at August...

Here are some of the things that happened in August around the Riddle house...

I've been practicing my walking & am pretty close to being independent.
I can walk 50+ steps by myself but am still timid about doing it if there's no one to walk to.

Uncle Matt & (almost) Aunt Melissa asked me to be in their wedding next May!
I'm very excited and practicing my walking!

My friends came to the pool with me!

I love to pull my toys out of their containers & put them back in.

I got my 1st real boo boo!!  This walking thing's tough!

I played at the pool a lot this month!  I'm a little water baby!

We also liked to go to the pool in the evenings to eat dinner.

I love to get tickled & have a great little laugh!

I went to Memphis to visit Uncle Micah, Aunt Virginia, Uncle Isaac & Aunt Caroline!!! 

They took me to Shelby Farms where I had lots of fun.

While we were in Memphis, I got to see Miss Katie...

...and Miss Emily!  So fun!

I'm a great eater!!  So far, I'm not picky...

My breakfasts are usually eggs, yogurt, fruit and/or steel cut oats.
This particular morning, I was eating yogurt & peaches.  

My lunches & dinners look more like this...
This meal was quinoa, peas, plums and squash/zucchini/okra. 

My favorite food this month? Tomatoes. Fresh out of the garden. I can't get enough!

I helped my daddy move into a new office...
I like going to visit him at work because he has so many toys!

I also like going to the park in our neighborhood. I love to swing!

My daddy is the best wrestling partner!!

I usually pin him, though. 

I can stick my tongue out on demand & think it's really funny!

I had a lazy day at the lake last Saturday... it was my first time really floating in the lake & I enjoyed it!

I loved getting to hang out with my Aunt Eliza!!

I like playing the drums at Mimi & Granddaddy Rick's house!

I love to clap for myself... and for you to clap for me too!!

Hello September!!
