What's new...

Well we have had a good week so far and have been up to lots of fun lately! Last week Riley went and hung out with the girls for our monthly bunko night and she did great. She was passed around, she showed off her vocal skills, and she definitely showed off her drooling skills as well. She was completely intrigued with the dice as you can see in the picture...I suppose the contrast and them being on the red mat made it very fun for her to check out! She is now going to head up Baby Bunko for all the babies to come!

We had a great visit with Grammy and JoePa and they received a much deserved sabatical from their furry of moving! Friday we all had lunch together, I got to leave work early, and we stayed in and watched Wild Hogs. Saturday Grammy and JoePa took Riley duty all morning and Jason and I slept in until 9:30...it was WONDERFUL! We were supposed to take family pics at Garvan Gardens, but the weather did not cooperate at all so we spent Saturday afternoon at the mall shopping! Jason bought this little puppy dog hat for Riley and he now puts it on her every evening because it's just so stinkin' cute!

Saturday evening Jason and I had our first "Date Night" since Riley came into our lives. We knew that we needed to spend some time just the two of us, but the only reason we haven't stressed this so far is because Riley is such a good baby and we never feel like we need a break from her. We had a great time and started out at a surprise b-day party for Tom and then we went and had dinner at Loca Luna...I haven't felt that stuffed since I was pregnant and my stomach was smushed up in my ribs...needless to say we had our fill. It was great to just be the two of us! We still haven't decided who babysitted who that night because when we got home JoePa was in bed and Riley was still awake...hmmm!

On Sunday Riley went to her first movie!!! We went and saw 21 with my parents and some friends and it was a really good movie! Riley started out asleep and then the sound came on really loud and we were afraid it would scare her, but she was enthralled and just stared at the screen. My parents joked that when we got home she would say "Dad...our TV just isn't big enough!" HaHa! She did great and even took a nap and didn't get upset until right before the movie was over...all in all she was GREAT and it was fun! I wondered what people would think of us bringing a baby to a movie, but there was an even younger baby right behind us so we were the norm! Grammy and JoePa left Sunday evening and we miss them already...thanks for the great weekend!

Riley is becoming more and more vocal each and every day and lately her talking sounds like a lion roaring...it is very cute! As I blog, it is 10:40 pm and she was asleep, but now she is just in her crib talking to herself and eventually she will put herself back to sleep...she really likes to hear herself and that's understandable. We have gotten a few chuckles out of her the past few nights with intense tickling and it is just adorable...we can't wait until it isn't so forced and comes more naturally for her. Tomorrow is her last day at Pulaski Heights Baptist Dayschool and Thursday she starts at Kareer Kids...we're hoping the transition goes well and we will miss the great caregivers that she's had thus far.
