My baby is 9 today!! It is sooo hard to believe. Let me give u a few statistic about Riley...he was born early at 34 4/7 weeks, his birth weight was 6# 9.4oz and was 21 inches long. He looked just like a little old man his elbows and knees had so many wrinkles. His hair was very light on top and super dark all on the sides and around the back. He has such a gentle soul which has been evident since his birth. Even with all the procedures done on him while he was in the NICU he was always laid back. Looking at him now you would never know he was a premie. He is the tallest child in the 3rd grade. He is 4 foot 7 inches tall (yes that is only 7 inches shorter than me) and weighs 101 pounds. He is currently wearing size 12 and 14 pants and adult small shirts. His shoe size is only one half size smaller than mine. In boys shoes he wears a size 4.5, I wear a size 5 in boys. He will most definitely tower over me by the time he is 11. Riley excells in school and tests above average with his IQ but, his intellegnce does not interfer with his social life. He is everyones friend and is definitely our social butterfly. He is the most loving and affectionate child and he is, with out a doubt a "Daddy's boy". Riley keeps us amazed every day...you never know what each day will bring for him. He is easily excited and always amazed. We love to watch him learn because the astonishment one can see in his eyes everytime he learns something new is absolutely breath taking. You think once they get a little older they do not learn on a daily basis like when they are infants and toddler but, that is absolutely false. Riley wants to be so much like his daddy. The past nine years with Riley has absolutely been an amazing adventure!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BOY!!! We love you more than words can say and we are very fortunate that you are ours!!!
