Unkey Seany and Aunt Jennie's Wedding

Unkey Seany and Aunt Jennie are married!!

These are just a few of the photos of Riley from the wedding that Rachel took. You can see more of the photos of the NEW Mr. and Mrs. Ragan on Rachel Henderson Photography.

Thanks Rachel and Brian for capturing this special day!


Riley is sad that Unkey Seany was dancing with Aunt Jennie and not her. But she got over it as soon as Unkey Seany came over to say Hi!

Like Mommy Like Daughter... Riley is enjoying her first time dancing on a bar. :) haha! No more dancing on bars for you! Quick Daddy get your beer before she knocks it over because she is a crazy dancer!!

Ciao! Riley was pooped out after dinner so GG and Grampy took her home to her warm bed. Thanks GG and Grampy for enjoyed a fun weekend with Riley while Ryan and I were involved in all the wedding festivities. Ryan said he owes you some Brady-sitting for all your help. :)

motor boat

Practice singing Motor Boat, Motor Boat...
Our crazy wedding weekend will not keep us out of the pool! We will just take a quick swim before going to Unkey Seany and Aunt Jennie's rehearsal dinner. (p.s. you will not be seeing any photos of the rehearsal dinner for a reason! haha!)

Teething

Put something in my mouth! Anything! I need to chew on something... more teeth are ready to pop! AHH!

Please anything... cold keys, dirt, fingers or crunchy fall leaves... I just need something to bite down on!

Gotta love a teething baby!

my buddy Andrew

We missed our buddy Andrew! Life gets so busy... and we know that is not a good excuse not to see our friends for a while... but sometimes life takes over.

We couldn't believe how big he has gotten! Andrew is the same weight as Riley now. Tiny Riley won't let that get her down as she cruises in her lion walker around Andrew. :) haha!
We had a great time hanging out with Andrew. But we know it won't be too long before we see him next because closing day of the ice cream shop is coming up and we need to "celebrate" (if thats what you want to call it) Closing Day of the Newtown Ice Cream Shop. Can we say Avalanche?

daddy made it to swim!!!

We are so proud of our daddy! After a night celebrating Unkey Seany's bachelor party he woke up and was able to make it down to swim class! He is that devoted... or he just really likes swimming in the YMCA's pool? hmmm... Daddy's girl!

Welcome Dante

See Tatiana? Tati is the one all the way to the left... she was in my 1st grade class a few years ago. During that year her mom helped out 2x a week... SUPER MOM! Tati's sister and father also came in to help often. At the end of the year the Cuneo family invited us out to dinner with the Fusaros and Gulianos. From there an "entertaining" friendship developed. :)

The friendship was now taken to a new level. After getting the girls out of school to go to the hospital... I was invited in to be part of Dante's birth. Yes! You read this right... I was invited into the delivery room! This was most unreal experience! Watching from different view then last time I was in the delivery room was amazing!! WOW! I really am speechless...

Riley was so excited to meet Dante! She is usually the considered tiny with friends... hopefully she has him beat for a few more months. :)

Good Morning 7 month older!!

Good Morning Riley! Can you believe you are 7 months old now!! WOW! Old Lady!!


When waking up to you this morning... and a few times during the night... I had to laugh at our new sleeping habits. I could sleep for hours and was the hardest person to wake up... 7 months ago. Your dad was a sound sleeper and nothing could wake me up... 7 months ago. 7 months ago we slept through the night...

Now I am eating my words when I used to say my baby would be a good sleeper and sleep through the night. I can't believe I am actually getting used the the middle of the night feeding. I can't wait until I can sleep through the night again BUT I hear that once you become a parent you never sleep the same. You are worth it! (and that is coming from someone who LOVED to sleep)



Sleep is for the weak!

TuTu

The girls of the playgroup looking their best! Each of these girls has their own SASSY style already. Love it!!


We did these photos after a wild playgroup. The girls all had a little attitude because they all just wanted to go to bed. Just imagine these girls in a few years... sleepovers, talking about Pike and Will on the phone, dances! Oh boy!!!

opera singing at the gym

Oh boy! We went to Gymboree today... and it was nothing like last time. We could not stop laughing at the lady singing. She was trying to sing like an opera singer but it was so not working for her. Look at Jodi and Randi's face! haha! Nobody could keep a straight face in the room. Luckily for us it was only a 45 mins. and FREE!
I wish I had a recording of her singing the TUMMY TIME song! AHHH!! And for me to say she was a bad singer you know it must have been really bad. I need to get Mrs. Carpentier to go over and tell her how bad of a singer she really is. If she told me I sing like a cow... I wonder what animal she would compare this lady to.

Happy Birthday GranDanny!

Riley was going back and for from Grampy to GranDanny under the table at Central Office today. She is almost ready for Bethel Schools, she starting to get this walking thing down (with help)... she already has done ichats, podcasts, she plays with the iphone and lets not forget open ended questions... too bad she lives in Newtown!

wanna ride?

We hope your friends understand that you are just a social butterfly... you are not leaving the group you are just making more friends. lol Again at the baby group... Riley left her friends that are her age to play with the older kids. (older as only a couple months) She grabbed the walker and was off to "the other side"...of the room that is. haha!
But like a good friend she came back to her old friends... and better yet, she brought a new friend over too!
To show her old friend she still loves them, she gave them rides around the room!
Riley and her buddies... 4 Life! Yo! hahaha! :)

Bread

Bread?!?! After Olivia's Birthday Party we went to Elizabeth's Baby Shower. Marina showed Riley how nice it feels to teeth on hard Italian bread...not to mention it taste good too! YUMMY! The girls also had fun playing with Riley. She loves playing with the big girls!

Happy Birthday Olivia

Happy 1st Birthday to Riley's cousin Olivia!



We have a big extended family. Dawn is my cousin... her grandfather on her mom's side and my grandmother on my mom's side are brother and sisters. Yes I know Ryan too has a hard time understanding that we are so close with our second cousins... and lots of people don't even know their first cousins that well. I guess it's an Italian thing... you are in the family now! :)

Rachel Henderson Photography

One of my friends happens to also be a photographer... both of us were talking on how we love to take photos of others and their families but we wish we had the type of pictures we take, taken of our families. What a great opportunity we have... we decided to take our families for a walk and take some photos of each other's families (we hope to do this more often too). Rachel was able to post some photos up already on her photography blog. (her daughter is older and takes longer naps as well as goes to bed earlier... lol) Check back here soon I will be posting more photos of both of our families. Until then...

It is great having these family photos. Self timer is great but this is true art! Thank you Rachel for capturing our family having fun! We love them!! :)
