First things first, today is me and Marc's 2nd year anniversary! I can hardly believe that two years ago we were getting married in San Diego and here we are today in Florida with our new daughter. It's definitely been an eventful two years, full of plenty of shenanigans but I wouldn't have it any other way! Happy Anniversary Baby, I love ya!
These past two days have been jam packed of firsts for Riley. Yesterday was her first plane ride. I must say I was pleasantly surprised, then again I had zero expectations. I really and truly expected to be those people that everyone on the plane hated but she wasn't too bad. We had about two meltdowns but they were small ones and she fell asleep for all of the take-offs and landings. One of the flight attendants told us she didn't even know we had a baby with us until she saw Marc walking up and down the aisle about mid-way through the flight with Riley in her Bjorn, I guess that was a good sign. And as an added bonus, Riley slept through the night last night! Happy Anniversary to us!
Today of course was our first year celebrating our anniversary with Riley. We also took Riley out of her shoes for the first time, good thing, she's been wearing the same socks since Friday and her feet stunk! Her feet were still pretty sensitive and wrinkley but it was fun to actually see them and play with them. We only had an hour, so we let her kick around for a bit, she didn't know what to do with herself and then she had her first "real" bath since she was like 10 days old. I went easy on her, I wasn't sure how sensitive her feet would be, which they turned out to be very sensitive, and I didn't want to freak her out too much, we've learned baby steps are best with her. But she had herself a real bath and actually got to move all of her legs around for about a half hour while we played with her and bathed her. I think she liked it and I can't wait for these three months to be up so that we can have more free time with her!
Then this afternoon she met my Poppa for the first time. She greeted her great-Grandpa with a huge Riley smile and he was smitten from first sight. He spent the remainder of the day just staring at Riley while Riley spent the rest of the day sleeping. We like napping Riley, it makes for a happy Riley!
