All About Riley-Belle: A funny treat

A funny treat

As you know, we have a little squealer. It's her way of expressing extreme happiness... have a look!

What a happy baby. Wow!

Today we went to pick dad up at work, and stopped in for a visit. Someone bought a big beanbag chair for the office, and it ended up by Russell's and Marcus' desks. Imagine that.... It's comfy, and Riley loved it!

While I edited this video tonite, Russell went swimming at the local pool. I'm so proud of him! He did a bunch of laps, and his back and shoulders are sore now. I hope he keeps it up, it will be great exercise and help strengthen those surfing muscles. And we'll be going to Santa Cruz for his surf classes soon...

I'm exhausted! Good night.
