Four Months Old

Just a little update on Riley's health before I start this post...he is doing much better.  We still have a way to go before I would say he is "back to normal", but he is making great progress every day!  Thanks for all the prayers!  Now for the fun stuff....
Riley turned 4 months old today and last night (finally) he slept for 8 1/2 hours!! Woo hoo!!  I know some of you are super moms out there who got your children to sleep through the night much sooner, but we are very excited about reaching this milestone...even if it took us a little longer.  And I am not naive enough to think that this will be a constant from now on, but hey, we had to start somewhere!  I was so excited that at the eight hour mark, I snuck into his room to take a picture.  Now, he is not the most peaceful sleeper.  His head ended up where his feet had been when I put him down! 
 A few days ago we heard his sweet laugh for the first time.  We had heard him coo while smiling before and I interpreted that as a laugh, but this one was for real. The picture of him in his tub is from his first laugh....I was too late with the camera to get a picture of the actual laugh, but this will have to do. He is still changing so much every day!  He has made our lives so much richer!! We love you, Riley!!!
