My grandma has been bugging me to get Riley's photo taken again to the point that she gave me her jcpennys charge to pay for them. So I took him to pennys though i dont really like them.

They came out a lot better than I thought they would and they look better in person.. my scanner is acting up :(


( Rest of the photos this way..  )
side note.. look how tiny he was last year in my icon

I feel that Riley doesnt need a ton of candy so instead we got him the cutest Halloween gift ever...


He was born on Riley's bday.. how cool is that!

He needs a name still.. I said Beelz (after Stephen Lynch's song, since he was a halloween gift) or Tauren (after the "cows" Miguel & I play in
World of Warcraft. ) since he is black & white like a cow..

Riley was classic Curious George for Trick or Treat.. We only went to 3 old neighbors that my grandma is still friends w/ that she wanted me to show him off too. He quickly learned there was crinkly wrappers in the bowls.. not sure if he really understood that they were candy since they were reeses or snickers (which he cant have so miguel and i ate)

For those of you on my f-list that has a penis or has had boys heres a question for ya...

Riley is almost a year (on the 27th) and teething like crazy. The teething has caused HORRIBLE diapers.
This morning I changed him around 8 and then he pooped shortly after and I changed him again. When I changed him that time there was a blister like spot on the foreskin on the underside of penis. Right beside the blister is a teeny tiny really red raw looking spot. There is another red raw spot on the "seam" on his sac. Now there was a bit of over all redness at the first diaper change so I put a bit of a&d ointment on him. I dont know if the horrible teething poo diaper could cause a blister that fast. (He was in the poo diaper maybe 2 minutes I wanted to make sure he was completely done) I have since let him play in the tub to get it good and clean and put destin cream on it.
Since its Sunday should I just monitor it and if the destin doesnt help get him to the dr in the morning or is a sudden blister on the penis something to take him to a well clinic for? Miguel and I cant agree on what to do.
A few facts that might help you help me to decide...
1) hes intact
2) we cloth diaper (and have made no changes to the wash in months)
3) Teething
4) eats a ton of table foods (but has had nothing new)
5) Miguel has a had a rash on his finger that he has been treating w/ cream and wrapping. He has been very careful to keep that finger wrap when dealing w/ Riley.  And this blister on Riley doesn't look like how his rash started

So what should I do take him somewhere today or watch it till tomorrow? Is there a better cream than destin?

i went to the dr yesterday.. i'm down 40lbs since my last visit and my last visit i was already 3lbs smaller then when i had riley. I knew things were fitting looser but I thought it might have been cause all my stuff is old and stretched out. Totally surprized it was that much

I can NOT stay @ my dad's another night. Riley was up every 45 minutes... but where can we go? this sucks! ... this therapy session tonight at 5 should be interesting because I'm getting more and more annoyed with her as I go through hell here.

We are tryin to motivate riley to crawl forward instead of just backwards all the time. We put some kix cereal on the floor and he actually went forward to get it.. So we jokingly kept putting them down. It looked like pacman. My friend helped edit the video.

so it looks like my marriage is over... tonight has been fucking delightful
