I think I'm going to write a children's book about Meredith. Better yet, maybe I should have my sister Kristyn write it since she is the published children's book author in the family (Buy "Cool Daddy Rat" in stores in March!). But seriously, Meredith is such a fun and silly girl and has had so many adventures in her life I could write a novel! Here's some pictures...
Was she really ever this small?It's hard to believe that that car seat is now almost too small for her.
Meredith went to her first Houston Astros game at 6 weeks old.
She has also attended several BBQ competitions with her dad. Daddy took 2nd place in a couple of divisions in this competition.
In August we went to California and Meredith got to meet her cousin Kamryn and see the house that mommy grew up in. She also got to visit her Grandma Riley's grave for the first time. It was a bittersweet visit.
She's met all kinds of Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.
Meredith went to the zoo for the first time at 3 months old.We'll have to take her again when she's old enough to actually care! ;)
Meredith got to be a baby bumblebee for Halloween, and she opened presents on her first Christmas morning!
She tried out the Johnny Jump Up for the first time and liked it!
She learned to enjoy the Texas sun and experienced the wonder of watching bubbles floating in the air.Meredith also got to experiment with her fashion sense:
Daddy calls this the "Hippie Outfit"
One Cool Cat!
The Lady Bug Look
The Risque Look
The Chic Hat Look
Retro 80's Baby
The Hot Dog on a Stick Look?What a kid! I just love my little girl! What a fun year we have had. I can't wait to see what the next year brings! Mommy loves you Meredith!!

Well, mom is the one taking all the pictures!
Hey Steph! Oh, yes, I remember those Riley softball games! They were so fun! That would be a blast to get together and do that... with three generations of Rileys. That would be a hoot! Hope you are having a wonderful New Year!
Hi Kim - Our Christmas was great! Hope yours was too. Hope you are feeling better! Happy New Year!
