My baby is ONE!

My baby boy turned one year old today! It's amazing how quickly it goes by, it seems like just the other day that the nurses and doctor were making guesses on how much he would weigh! (No one came close, Rigley held his 9 lbs 10 oz well!) We just celebrated at home as his party will be at Mimi's later.



After cake, Rigley opened presents. Daddy & Brighton had to help him at first.

It didn't take long, though, before he got the hang of it!
There were lots of breaks to play with new toys.


This was his reaction when Daddy brought out his big gift...
a kitchen!


Rigley has been through so much his first year of life, but he is doing so well. He cruises along the furniture and will walk while holding your hands (with and without his brace!). Rigley doesn't let his brace slow him down; he is incredibly quick while crawling in it and can even climb into the rocket at the play area with it on!

Rigley is also talking quite well. While he has a number of words that sound alike to the untrained ear, Mommy & Daddy can tell what it is that he is saying!
He can say:
-mama
-dada
-milk (muh)
-book (buh)
-ball (bah)
-brother (duhduh)
-dog (dahdah)
-Shocker (shahshah)
-shoes (shuuz)
-that (dat)
