Since my last post...

Riley has grown - he weighs 15.5 lbs and is 21.5 inches tall. He's been giggling non-stop, reaching and grasping toys, straightening and locking his legs (standing when with our help to keep his balance) and reaching and grasping toys. He's also sleeping through the night pretty consistently. Mommy and daddy couldn't be happier!






We also (finally) had some family pictures taken to use in Christmas cards. I'm just not sure if I'll have time to get Christmas cards out, so I figured I'll just post the pictures for now. Mark took them, if you're interested in having some pictures taken, go visit Mark here.










Some of Doug's work was published in a magazine. Go to www.theinovator.com to see pictures. You can find the magazine in any bookstore up until about the second week of December. It's the November issue of Practical Web Design. Go buy one, take a picture of Doug's article, and put it up on your blog. Doug will be proud.

I got a (sort-of) promotion at work. I applied for a coach's position and got it, but the job opening has been postponed as a result of changes in the placement for one of our kids at school, so I won't be starting until the placement changes or there is another opening for one reason or another. I'm excited though, it will be fun. It will also mean a change of scenery because I'll be going to a different room.

Christmas is coming! Luckily Riley will is getting to the point where he's old enough to play with toys, so Christmas shopping is gonna be LOTS of fun for this mommy. And of course all his grandparents... he's gonna be a spoiled little boy for sure! Good thing I know lots about behavior... I have a feeling I'm gonna need it!

Until next time, keep updated with the many pictures of Riley at www.dougnml.shutterfly.com
