Superbowl & Runny Noses

Saturday was a day filled with Grandparents, Good Time movies, good food and Poker. Andy hosted a guy's night Poker game while I attended a "John Hughes" movie night with Cecily and friends. It was at a house 10 blocks from my parents so of course they did not argue when I dropped of Ry for a night with the Grandparents.
Andy did not score at his Poker night and I did not score any rest with Riley sleeping in the same room with me, but overall it was a great time for us all. Andy needed boy time and I needed some girl chat time. It was suppose to be a night filled with Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candle movies, but it turned out to be us girls chatting and looking up hot celebrity men online. HAHAHA! It was a great time!

Sunday was Superbowl and we headed to Kenmore for the annual Bachmeier Superbowl party. Let me break down the scene for you: Huge wall to wall TV and surround sound in one room.... where the Men and the Singles hung out. Another room with a standard TV filled with lactating women, crying babies and children that appeared to be hyped up on crack and sugar. It was insane.
I did not get to watch much of the game or see the commercials, but the Saints won and that is what I was hoping for. Gotta root for the underdog! :)

Here are a few pictures of the Boys holding the girls at Superbowl:



Riley again has a runny nose and is hacking at night keeping her parents awake.... i am hoping we are not playing the "ping pong cold/sinus/bronchitis" game again. :(
I am getting much better though nights are still very rough and I won't go into the gory details of my sinus issues; thank you all for the get well notes they were awesome.

So everyday when I pick up Riley it says on her chart that she ate: Diced peaches/pears. But every time I try at home she gags and throws up. I thought hmm what am i doing wrong. So i finally asked Miss Phoebe and we watched her do the same thing at daycare. I guess what they meant to say was that she is "practicing on picking up things with her fingers" not really eating. It is funny though if you bring out a jar of baby food she gets all excited and not so much for her bottles any longer, except for her night time comfort one. So she is making a lot of progress there.
She still won't eat green beans, probably because Papa Ron keeps telling her not to eat those peas or squash over our Skype sessions every weekend. :)
I have been adding more Chicken/Rice and Turkey/Greens baby food into her dinnertime and she seems to enjoy them. She still makes the funniest faces when she eats peaches from the tartness but everything else seems to go down ok at this point.

She is crawling faster and faster everyday and is pulling herself up all the time using the ottomans or the tables nearby. Yesterday she was able to hold on to my fingers and just stand, she took a wobbly step and just cracked herself up. She laughed and laughed and thought it was the funniest thing ever. I am not sure if it was her way to say: "Oh just you wait mom".

More updates at a later date......
