We made it!

We were actually early to my eye doctor appt., so that was quite a feat! Sophia and Riley both did quite well. It was a bit challanging to hold a squirmy baby while getting my eyes checked out, but we managed. Sophia managed to spill her goldfish and pretzels, not once, but twice, all over the exam room. Thankfully the eye doctor is a wonderfully kind, Christian man, and his staff is great too! When Jamie went for his appointment later in the afternoon our eye dr. teased that it would be a $10.00 fee for all the extra clean-up they had to do while I was there with the kids! Hey! They are lucky I didn't leave Riley's horribly stinky diaper in the bathroom trashcan!!! :)

We were about 10 minutes late for Riley's appt, but we still got right in. My eyes were nice and dilated, so I was feeling a bit woozy and had a horrible headache. I also couldn't focus on anything close up. Fun times. :) Riley is a healthy boy of almost 9 months. He is weighing in at 19 lbs., 6 oz. and is 29 3/4 inches long. He got two shots, but was such a trooper! I was really proud of Sophia too. Trapping her in small exam rooms for a couple hours, well, I struggle with that enough, and I'm not an energetic 4 year old! She did great though.

We got to round out a gloriously warm and sunny day with some water fun in the backyard, then a dinner picnic with Jamie's parents. All in all, it was a successful day! Just the kind we like.
