A Day in the Life of Rivers McKean Shepherd

Rivers days pretty much the same, and I think he's a pretty lucky kid! Here is a glimpse in to the life of Rivers McKean Shepherd:

Wake up around 7:00.  nurse on one side, diaper change, then play and watch TV while mommy gets ready for the day.

 Nurse on the other side and naps around 8:00. After that... Real breakfast, which includes oatmeal, a fruit and usually some cheerio's or a graham cracker...

 We usually have errands to do, this day I was helping dad fix something, I love to play with rolls of duct tape!

 I'm one lucky kid, I get to go on walks and sometimes I get rained on, but I'm lucky because mommy usually makes it up to me by going on another walk later :)

 I also get to explore outside, there is so much to see in our front yard.

 When I'm really lucky mommy lets me try some of her slurpee, I love slurpees!  I also love going on walks at the park!

 I recently learned how to pull myself up onto the furniture.  But mommy is always pulling me away from the TV  it's not fair...

 Have I told you how much I love the park!! Mommy says we're really lucky to live by Liberty Park, I get to play on swings and eat the grass, and all the old people stop to tell me how cute I am :)

 I love books, this is my current favorite, it's call "Eight silly monkey's"  Have you read it? It's a must!!

 My mom and dad also put this awesome fan in my room.  Now that I can crawl and stand, whenever mom isn't looking I go into my room and try to knock it over.  If you can't find me I'll be in here trying to cut my fingers off...

 I also love my sippy cup!  Nothing like a refreshing drink to help you relax.  I learned to do this after our road trip, that trip might have been more enjoyable if I would have learned sooner I think :)

 Lately I've refused to take my afternoon nap, so sometimes I get super sleepy during dinner.  On this night I get chicken and apples in my eyelashes and all over my arms.  Mom hated to wake me up, but I was a mess!

 So I had a bubble bath, but I found out you can't eat bubbles...

After baths we get ready for bed, and say good night to the house.  Once I'm convinced that nothing exciting is happening with out me I go right to sleep.  These are just the highlights of the day, there's lots more I don't like, like scripture study, family prays, naps.  Those things just stop me from playing and exploring.  I think they'll be more fun when I have discovered everything ever in the world.  For now I'll just pull mommy's hair, climb over daddy and get on my way.  I'm pretty lucky, I have a great mommy and daddy who love me and let me play, explore and learn.
Mommy is right, I live the life :)
