Update

Riley's first birthday is right around the corner. It seems like he is doing something different every week. Here's an update on what he's been up to....
  • he's 17 1/2 pounds now
  • he's started crawling
  • he loves to pull himself up on everything
  • his bottom two teeth are coming in
  • he made his second trip to the ER last night (he was wheezing really bad so we had to go in to get him checked out - 6 1/2 hours later, a thorough suctioning and a couple of breathing treatments and we were good to go)

This past week Ben and Dre had their annual Angels weekend. Dre, Suzy, and Zen came to visit and we had a great time hanging out. The kids got along great. Steve also joined us for a couple of days and the boys got to go to a baseball game on Saturday and Monday. To celebrate Father's Day we went to Long Beach and went to the aquarium for the kids and then to Gladstones for dinner. We always love our yearly Angels get-together but it's going to be weird next year when we aren't living in LA anymore and we'll be doing our Anaheim get togethers in a hotel.

I know this has nothing to do with the post but this picture is of Riley with soon-to-be dad, Jethro, at their baby shower a couple of weekends ago. I love that they are both tilting their heads! For some reason, we only got a picture of the dad-to-be and none of the main attraction - mom-to-be and baby.

A Trip to Monterey.......

Since Ben was giving a talk at a conference in Monterey Riley and I decided to tag-a-long. We drove up to Fremont on Friday, celebrated an early Father's Day with my family, and then headed to Monterey on Ben's birthday. We spent the day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and then spent the next couple of days at Asilomar Conference Center. Here are some pics of our trip...
