Riley is working on some new teeth, about to chew her hand off I'm hoping for her sake they come in soon.
Standing:
Riley can now stand and hold on to something in front of her all by herself for an extended period of time, before she could stand while holding on to something for only a little bit...she didn't understand that if she let go she would fall...she now gets it. letting go=falling. And last night she balanced herself for a couple seconds without holding on to anything! (toes where curled so she doesn't get it completely yet) but she is learning and doing a great job at it!
Kamikaze Walker:
This little girl has gone crazy in her walker, spoon in hand screaming (like a crazy woman) she will run as fast as she can toward the dog or you and run straight into you (which by the way hurts more than anything when she runs right up over your toes) then look up at you and give you a big ole smile or laugh. It is her goal to hurt you in this game, she thinks it is funny when you say "ouch" or try to dive out of the way.
perfecting what she already knows:
Each day Riley gets better and better at scooting, and closer to crawling like a big girl. Her little arm muscles are working there way up to being able to completely support her weight on her own. (we still have some work to do with that but she is getting stronger!) she can hold herself in the "crawl" position longer and understands what her hands need to be doing when going from the sit position to the crawl position.
She mimics everything you do, and has perfected her sticking her tongue out and making "fart" noises. she can actually do them together. She can also still do them separate and will mimic me if i stick my tongue out at her.
She gets so proud of herself when she does anything ... it is so awesome to see how excited she gets!
Adventures/excitement of the week:
Skate Park:
Riley and I went to the Skate Park to watch Jeff Skate with Aunt Amanda for our last outing before returning to Florida. Riley ABSOLUTELY loved watching him skate...she was laughing, yelling and "Talking" to him the entire time, it was very entertaining for her and us as well!
Night with Tita:
The night before leaving for Florida Riley got to spend some quality one-on-one time with her Tita, they played on the floor for a pretty long time, Riley worked on her scooting and literally just laughed and laughed with each other, Riley got to spend the night with her Tita! (well till 130-2am when we got home to collect her)
Back To Florida:
John drove us back down on Wednesday, we will be here for the next 5 weeks...just hoping this time John will be able to take a break in the middle and come see us, if not i understand but it would be nice!
We took Papa and Tanya to the airport on Thursday and then had a family dinner to celebrate John and my 6 years of being together :) i can't believe it has been 6 years, and we are still together, happy and with a beautiful daughter.
The Beach/Family Visit:
Sunday Dad Hayden Riley and I drove to the beach to visit family. Callie Nick and little Ian came in from D.C. and got a condo at the beach...so of course that calls for a family function. Its always great seeing everyone! Riley of course loved the attention she gets from her Auntie Rye and anyone else willing to look her way.
Riley has a blast anytime we come up to Orlando to hang out with her Aunt Hayden and "Uncle Grandpa" <---still working on a better name for him and her Mimi, She gets spoiled with love especially from her Hayden. That little munchkin will play and play all day long if mommy doesn't make her stop for nap time. Hayden absolutely loves her, she is like a little mommy, constantly on top of anything and everything Riley possibly would need..and only wants to smother Riley with as much love ...and well toys as she possibly can.
Playing with baby Leah:
Last night [of course after bedtime] Riley and I went to Meghans house to play with her and Leah...Leah was already asleep so we played with Riley for a while until Leah decided to join us. The cutest babies those girls are! Riley had a couple little bonks on the head from falling over and when she would cry Leah would get really upset and start crying...Riley then would look at Leah stop crying and start laughing at the fact Leah was crying... shes a mess. but it was great to see them and watch them interact with eachother, everytime we visit its more fun than the last...
