Riley Update

My little snuggle monster

So I have kind of been slacking on the updates or Riley lately but I will tell you what has happened in the last 2 weeks and it will basically sum it all up. Last week Riley turned 7 months old! Before she did this however she decided to have some pretty big milestones. She learned to crawl, go from crawling to sitting, pulled herself to the standing position and she finally cut a tooth. Oh man has it been a fun and very eventful two weeks for her. She has become such a fun little girl to play with, she is so curious about everything around her and I love watching and helping her explore. It is so much fun I can't wait for more adventures to come!

Initially she fiqured out how to crawl but it was only about a foot at a time. The next day I was taking a shower and she was talking to me playing on the carpet just like we always do. I had just enough time to put shampoo in my hair and when I looked out to talk to her some more she was gone...uhhh so what do I do I yell for her to come back...and she did. Apparently she decided this was the time that she was really going to crawl so she crawled to her bedroom and when I called for her she came back to talk some more. Thank goodness because we had continued procrastinating about the baby proofing up until this very point. Well then while I was getting ready that same day she backed her little butt up against the couch and she stood up...all by herself. It is just all going too fast. She now can pull herself up to the standing position about anytime she wants which is totally scary for me.

She also has this very sharp bottom tooth now that she still continues to want to chew on my fingers with so we are trying to break that habit but I can say it is better my finger than other parts I guess!

We have had some pretty wonderful and eventful days off of work just taking walks and playing. We went and visited our friend Megan and got to go get ice cream at Blue Palm. Then the next day we got to go visit our friend Lori who just had surgery and visit with her and Summer which was fun.

This weekend may be the first weekend that I decide to go out with my husband and let Riley stay at Nana's house, it is still up in the air depending on how much anxiety I get but Patrick's friend Jeff is in town from Brazil so that is pretty good incentive to go out for the night. At least I know she will be safe and sound at Nana's.
