September 2008

September has been a fun month for the Conner family. Hunter will be 4 months old in a few days and is slowly starting to eat solids! She tried peaches first (living in GA, this seemed appropriate) but they were a bit tart so we've also tried squash, peas, pears and bananas...bananas are by far her favorite! She enjoys sitting in the high chair because she can sit up straight vs. laying down in her various bouncy chairs! Riley has also enjoyed the food introduction thanks to the very funny faces Hunter will make! Hunter is also starting to enjoy her Johnny Jumper and her Exersaucer!



Our family also enjoyed our first family "vacation"...we spent a weekend in Ellijay, GA at a great cabin rental thanks to a gift certificate from my BAC teammates in Charlotte! The cabin was awesome with 2 BR and a huge loft that sat right on a small river. There was a great wood walkway that took you out to a deck that was right on the river...it was very peaceful and relaxing. The water was not too cold so Riley and Chris went swimming and did some pretend fishing with Riley's Scooby-Doo fishing pole!



Riley had her 3 year check up in early September and she continues to grow up so fast....she weighs 39.8 lbs and is 41.25 in tall. Dr. Stickney was quite impressed with her speech for her age and she was her usual "ham" self and happily sang a few songs for him just to be a show off! He is still predicting she'll be 6 feet or so fully grown!



Riley also started tennis and soccer lessons at school! You can already tell she's going to have a backhand just like her momma's and she's a great soccer player...perhaps a UNC soccer scholarship could be in her future and a national championship!!!!!!!! She has also informed us that she would like to do ballet as well but we think 2 activities is all we can handle right now!
