- Sleeping - Well this past month has been a little off for my normal 12 hour sleeper! Between pneumonia and falling out of her crib we have had more disruptions during the night than normal, but all in all she's back in her groove and sleeping good again! Since we lowered her bed and removed the bumpers the biggest issue is the binkie falling on the floor but we have let her self soothe and get herself back to sleep as hard as that can be at times!
- Eating - She's still a great eater but is a little more opinionated about what she eats. Don't get me wrong she is in no way a picky eater, but this past months she has started to shake her head "No" if she doesn't want to eat something...simple enough!
- Walking - ALL THE TIME! She is officially a pro at walking and gets up and goes! She's so cute with her little waddle and she still has numerous wipeouts and faceplants but she just gets up and tries again...she doesn't seem to upset when she falls! I have cute video of this but Blogger seems to be taking FOREVER and I must get to bed so I will try and add that tomorrow!
Dancing - Riley was born with moves and we don't know where it came from! The girl can shake her tailfeather and it is hilarious! As soon as she hears a song she will start clapping, shaking her hips, and spinning in circles! Soon there will be a clip of her dancing in the car which doesn't quite do justice for her true dance moves!
Talking - Riley is not only signing please and thank you but she is saying them as well! She also says "DaDa", "MaMa", "doggie", "bye bye", "high five", and she sings lots of songs as well. We can tell for sure when she is singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star just by the change of tone in her voice but the words are still a little off...it's so fun to watch her learn!
- Teeth - Riley is now working on 8 teeth...4 on the top and 4 on the bottom...her smile changes with each new tooth and trust me it just seems to be getting cuter!
- Bath - The tantrums have sort of emerged again or perhaps she has just recently decided she doesn't like water poured over her head! Bath time is still Daddy's task and he does a great job of making lots of bubbles and putting lots of toys in there and she does pretty well except for the water being poured over her head! She also doesn't particulary like being on the changing table anymore and tries to roll over and kick her way off...that makes things exciting!
- Riley is blowing kisses, giving kisses, and giving hugs as well! I love receiving love from her...it's just the best! Here's a pic of Riley giving her Daddy kisses!
- Riley is now in a big girl carseat in both vehicles and she loves riding forward and we love it too! She gets to watch DVD's in the Tahoe now too and she loves that! Gotta love Veggie Tales!
- Climbing...well you all know about Riley's climbing skills as she was able to maneuver herself out of the crib but seriously this girl LOVES to climb...we even caught her trying to climb into her shopping cart push toy...that would not have worked out well for her! Gymnastics might be in her future!
We are falling more and more in love with this little girl and love to see her learn new things...there is nothing better than seeing a child understand something! One thing that has blown me away in this past month is how she has grasped the book "Pat The Bunny." That is a common childhood favorite and Riley knows what to do on every single page from smelling the flowers to putting her finger through the ring...it's so cool! We are hoping she's not getting sick again as she has gotten a nasty cough again and was running a low grade temp tonight...we're not used to a sick baby and hope her body fights this off quickly!
Here's a cute video of a recent game of Peek A Boo she and I shared...
