Hanging out with my boyfriend!

I was so happy i brought my camera today - i was finally able to catch Riley with her boyfriend Alex. Alex has moved up to the 1's room (for one year olds) and I think it broke her heart. The daycare will take Riley over for an hour or so during the day and they always tell me that she gets sooo excited to see the other kids, but mainly Alex.

Alex came over to the infant room while the 1's were napping and I was able to catch a bit of them playing. They are 2 peas in a pod, crawling around after each other and playing and yelling as loud as they can - it is so cute.

Enjoy!

First Steps! (supported)

Last night Andy played with Riley and had her stand and use her push cart toy. Just a week ago she would just push it crawling, but last night she stood and pushed it while walking! Now she did look like a drunk sailor on pay day, but still none the less she took her first supported steps! :)

Of course we had to keep practicing and though these videos only show a bit of it, there were 4 actual steps in a row!!!

10 Months!

Well it has been a while since I have updated this ole thing, so dusting off the keyboard and getting down to it.

Riley is officially 10 months 3 weeks - we are getting so close to her 1 year. Where did the time go????
Nothing really exciting to report on the home front. Riley has now 4 teeth (2 front top and bottom) and has a bump next to her right front tooth so I am thinking another is coming in.
The baby teeth I thought were suppose to be small, but these things are huge choppers. When she smiles it fills her smile and it is sooo cute! She does this noise now where she pushes air through the new teeth and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard so that is fun.

We had a bad week where she was on steroids, inhaler and nebulizer for her bronchial infection. She is off them all and seems to be doing ok. She coughs in the middle of the night still, but nothing like she was. I am crossing my fingers that it does not come back.

We are officially out of 12m clothing and full on into 18m and not looking back. :) She was 20lbs at our last appointment last month for her breathing issues, but she keeps eating like she has a hollow leg so I am assuming she is bigger now. I will measure her height here soon - all i can say is that she now looks funny hanging on to me in the front Ergo carrier since she is so long. So I think it is on to the back portion - this should be interesting!

Grammy Sue came last week to visit Mason for his Birthday and came by Friday to spend sometime with both grand babies. She read to Riley and they played and had a good time. Aunt Lori and Mason came down Saturday and we celebrated Mason's birthday by grilling burgers and having berry pie. unfortunately Lori fell earlier in the ngiht with Riley and hurt herself so they left early. We later found out that both mason and Lori got the stomach flu so it was not good. Thankfully Andy, Riley and I did not catch it - just praying that it does not reach us.
Having a baby with diarrhea has got to be the worst, so pray with me that we don't get it. :)

Sunday I had the girls over for a bit of Baby Time and it was great! Except for Riley having to bail out early to nap it all went really well! Amber came with baby Mia, Carrie brought Baby Cole and Cecily came with her camera and some yummy food - we had a great time!
We were not able to get a group photo of the babies since Riley was napping, but here is one that turned out pretty ok:

Baby Cole and Riley


After all the girls left Riley decided to re-arrange her room decor:


I try to get pictures of me and Ry all the time but they just don't turn out very well, this one was pretty good:


I will try to be better and do more postings. Easter is around the corner so I am sure we will get more then!
