A New Baby

Last Monday I got a new baby, a boy named Riley. Now I'm up to four babies again! Riley is really cute even though he has an old man's face; he doesn't look like a baby at all! Riley is six weeks old but he's advanced for his age. He already raises his head up when I put him on my shoulder. Before I know it, he'll be crawling, then walking, then leaving my class for the toddler room. Boo hoo! I don't want to think about that. I just want to enjoy Riley.

As I said, Riley is only six weeks old. He's my youngest now; he bumped Gregory--did I tell ya'll about Gregory?--from that spot. Gregory was two months old when I got him and he was BIG. He looked like a four month old. So having Riley is really different. I haven't had a baby this small in a while. It's taking me some time to get used to him. He's so light! All of my other babies feel like lead compared to Riley. But that adds to his charm. I think I'm going to like Riley a lot. I don't know if he'll become one of my Favorites, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did. So welcome to the family, Riley. Glad you could make it!
