6 months old!






Today, we celebrated Riley's 1/2 birthday by going to the "aquarium' (pet store)!  There were so many friends to see that we went from cage to cage and tank to tank just checking out all of the amazing animals.



We started out by checking out the birds.  They were cheeping at Riley and he was having fun squawking back at them.


Then, we went to visit the mice, guinea pigs, hamsters and other fluffy critters.


Then, we spent some time checking out all of the different fish tanks.  Riley loved checking out and all the schools and even wanted to go swimming with some of them. (Don't worry - he stayed dry at the pet store).


When we got home, we celebrated with chocolate cupcakes!  You know how kids usually get a smash cake on their first birthday?  Well, Riley is getting some practice in early...


It was so funny and so messy!  We tried to keep as much frosting out of Riley's mouth as possible but he just moves so quickly.  So the activity ended with a quick sink bath.


We had so much fun celebrating but I can't believe that half a year has already passed.  We are having so much fun being parents that time really does fly.

So much fun! He loved all of the animals at the pet store! A new fun activity you can repeat! I felt so bad that he couldn't eat the cupcakes...so close but yet so far!
Happy half Riley!

Love,

I love Sheff crying in the background because he wants cupcakes too.
