A Very Happy 1/2 Birthday

Riley is 6 months old today! Well technically she has another 13 minutes to 8:20, but we had such a great day together she's already passed out in her crib. The weather was beautiful today so we spent her big day outdoors. We started with a walk and lunch at Fuddruckers where the little princess showed her Daddy that she can reach further than he thinks. She is so grabby these days, so when Matt wasn't looking she promptly dumped his rather large glass of lemonade in his lap. Luckily it was free refills. After Fuddruckers we took her to a park very close to our house. She LOVES watching little kids and she laughs when they run and jump. After a nap we took off again to Riley's first experience at the driving range. Everything fascinated her! She especially liked the ball dispenser and the thwack sound of golf balls. Then it was over to the mini golf section of the driving range and we toted her around in the baby bjorn while we played 18 holes. Mini golf with a 20+ lb baby strapped to your chest is challenging, but completely possible and FUN! Daddy won AGAIN, but only by 6 strokes this time. Riley mostly enjoyed grabbing leaves from the trees, trying to stuff the flags in her mouth, and watching a strange squirrel that acted like a dog. Since she's too young for birthday cake we wrapped up our wonderful day by giving Riley peaches for the first time. She loved them and kept gabbing at Matt to give her more. We can't believe she's already half a year old, and we are just so thankful everyday for a truly happy and healthy little girl. Here's some pictures of our day for you to enjoy!
