almost 9 months...

River will be 9 months old in 4 days! It is really crazy how fast time has gone by. He's such a joy for all of us to have in our lives. We are very blessed. As I update this blog, my brother and his wife are on their way here from st louis. The original flight was delayed, but they are here and will be walking through the door soon. This is SUCH a big occasion for all of us. My brother has never gotten to meet River. He is so excited and we all can't wait! I can already tell they are going to be buds and River is going to LOVE his uncle Ben. A couple of weeks ago, my in laws had a photographer friend of Daniel's come out to Marshfield to take a bunch of family photos. We had a good time even though River was teething REALLY bad, but we got some cute pics out of the deal. Enjoy!

I can't believe it's November already! Daddy has celebrated his 28th birthday and both of Riv's grandma's had their birthdays in October. River had his first Halloween and next weekend his Uncle Ben and Aunt Ashley are coming home for 3 1/2 weeks. We are all so looking forward to it. I haven't seen my brother since May 2008 and that was right before i got pregnant. He's in for a shock. :) River is going to just love his Uncle Ben. Hope we'll get a ton of pictures taken. River had his first real fever yesterday. He's been such a healthy baby for 8 months, so we tried not to freak out too much. We just gave him some motrin and kept him uncovered and he slept like a champ and woke up really happy today with no fever. YAY! We are heading out today to my in laws house in Marshfield for "Chilton family photos" so I hopefully will have some of those uploaded soon. Take Care Everyone!
