Crank In Your Pants

Dear Riley,
If I could find the person who put the crank in your pants after about 4 o'clock today, I would promptly take them and smack them upside the head and then probably take them out back and flog them. Or let them listen to the Mexican neighbors we have who insist on blaring their music at all hours of the day. When you are older, I will let you listen to some of the oompa oompa music that could become part of the soundtrack of the first year of your life. To say you were unpleasant is putting it nicely. We had an awesome morning, complete with you eating your first full meal in your highchair in our house, which was more than slightly amusing. You are a smart cookie, kid, you figured out faster than Daddy or I thought you would that if you picked up the food we put in front of you it could go straight in your mouth and be CONSUMED, rather than just chewed on and soaked like everything else we put in front of you. We watched some football, because before you were born your completely sane parents decided that they needed to purchase a huge flat screen TV because we wouldn't be going out to bars to watch games. Just for the record, we have also changed cable companies and added on about 300 bucks in sports packages so that you could watch us scream and yell at the tv on Saturdays AND Sundays in the comfort of your own home. We love you kiddo. We are getting ready for your first Christmas, (as are your grandparents). You love to tear ornaments off the tree at Grandma Sharon's house and have managed to break three at last count, but the Christmas season is still young. Your latest trick today was waving at Daddy- he said hi to you and waved at you and you didn't even look at your hand but you picked it up and just held it out and waved at him for a few minutes, and we were both so proud and amazed that your teeny little brain had figured that out that we were both crying! I gave birth to you 7 months ago and maintain that my emotions have been out of control ever since, but I don't know what Daddy's excuse is. You are sleeping peacefully in your bed as of now, surrounded by the two frogs and the red dog and hopefully we won't see or hear from you anymore until 6 AM when you will squak but not open your eyes and expect to be brought into the bed with us to take over more room than a 7 month old should in a king size bed.
Love you to the moon and back,

Momma
