Happy St Patrick's Day...a little late

Here are a few pictures of Rilynn on her first St Patrick's Day. The holiday is so fitting with her Irish name!

I love this picture!!!

Here is a picture of Rilynn that I took with my Blackberry in John's Pass, FL. Her smile is so adorable - you can really see her 2 teeth!

Now on to Tampa, FL...

On Thursday the 12th, Rilynn, mommy, daddy, Pappy & GG headed to Tampa, FL to visit Uncle Jeff, Aunt Betty & cousin Ryan. While in Tampa, Rilynn not only got to go to the beach & see the ocean for the first time, she also got to eat baby food for the first time. What an adventure?! Here are some pictures from Rilynn's Tampa trip.

On Sunday, March 15th, mommy, daddy & Rilynn flew back to St Louis. Rilynn enjoyed her first trip to Florida and is looking forward to another trip to the beach this summer!

Off to Orlando, FL...

On March 9th, we left Atlanta for Orlando, FL where mommy had a business trip for the week. We flew down after having lunch with Gammy & Papa at the airport. This was only our 2nd flight with just Rilynn & mommy, but everything went well! Once we arrived in Orlando, Pappy & GG picked us up from the airport. Pappy had to work in Orlando for the week as well so GG came down to hang out with Rilynn. Daddy also flew down to Orlando on Tuesday to spend the rest of the week with the family. While in Orlando, Rilynn got to make her first trip to Epcot. Mommy, daddy, Pappy, GG & Rilynn met daddy's cousin Kerry and her 2 sons Aaron & Dayne at Epcot for the afternoon. Here are a couple of pictures from Rilynn's first Disney experience.

Rilynn also rode Spaceship Earth (the ride that is inside the Epcot Globe) & visited the countries at Epcot. She went on the boat ride in Mexico & got to see the 365 video of Canada. Unfortunately we were unable to take any pictures in the countries - mainly because Rilynn was sleeping most of the time. But she did really like the 365 video in Canada! All in all, it was a great day at Epcot.

Back to Atlanta...

On March 7th, Rilynn and mommy flew home to Atlanta to visit Gammy, Papa, Aunt K, Uncle Lem, Gabbie & Coen while daddy stayed in St Louis for work. It was quite a busy trip as mommy tried to squeeze seeing everyone into just 2 days. On Saturday night, Rilynn stayed with Gammy & Papa while mommy went to visit some of her college friends. Then on Sunday, Rilynn and mommy went to breakfast with Mandy before heading to Jasper, GA for Collin's 5th birthday party. There we got to see so many of mommy's Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. Here are a few pictures from our Atlanta trip.
