Back in Action

I know its been a couple weeks without new pictures. Our computer was out of commission for bit, but now we are back in action.
We've been very busy with family and friends in town. Casey and Mike came out to meet their new grandson and my very dear friend Jinan and her husband Kevin came out to celebrate Jinans 30th birthday and to meet the boys as well.
Riley had his first visit to the Oregon coast, loved it so much he slept right through it! The weather at the beach was remarkable, a treat for this time of year. We all had a great time walking the beach, eating out, and shopping the strip at Cannon Beach. It was great having the Flynns here and sad to see them go. I know it was hard for them to leave without taking Riley with them.
Shana and I had our first night out on the town since the boys birth. I have to say going out just isn't the same as it used to be. The idea of taking care of a newborn hungover is just not at all appealing.

3 weeks Old & So much going on!

It has been a busy week in the life of Riley. Here's a recap of all his activities last week:

His First friend was born-----Our dear friends Shana and Jon welcomed a healthy baby boy, just two weeks after Riley. We all thought that the Daby Baby would be Riley's girlfriend, but Wilson decided its best that they are just good buddies. I'm sure these two will get into their fair share of trouble together.

His Aunt and Uncle came to meet him from Minnesota. I think they also wanted to see what life was really like with a newborn, being that they will be having two in January! We are looking forward to the arrival of Riley's first cousins! We had a great time getting out and about Portland, and just hanging at home.

His First Sunday of Football-- Brendan was trying to teach him the rules of the game, but he had a hard time staying awake. Already a Vikes fan, and apparently their good luck charm. Now I just need to teach him the fight song and we'll be set!

Friends stopped in to meet the little one and to bring Mom & Dad dinner! We are so lucky to have such a wonderful group of friends to help us make the transition into parenthood easier!

And our moral support from down under......

Yesterday was his first Doctors Appointment. The Dr was impressed with how much he has grown. He now weighs 9 lb 2oz and is 21in long. A full inch since birth! He is developing a strawberry on his head, just like I had as a newborn. It will more than likely grow until his 1st birthday and then start to fade.

That was about it for last week. This week Brendan had to return to work, which was a bummer for all of us. I know he wishes he could be a stay at home dad for awhile. Next week Grandma and Grandpa Flynn come to visit. I know they can hardly wait to get out here and meet their first grandchild.

Grandma Plays Dress Up

Grandma got ahold of Riley one afternoon, and decided to play dress up. I wonder if she realizes that he's a boy? Overall he was a good sport, and let Grandma put him in outfits and his mucklucks (sp?) from their trip to Alaska. I'm surprised that he got away with no naked, I'm going to save this and embarass you later kind of photos.
