Speaking of which...I am pretty sure this "new " car of his that we got less than ayear ago is a bad luck charm. First Johns Grandfather backed up into the side of the car denting the entire back door, then i reversed into a tree knocking out the light and denting the other side, and then yesterday John was rear-ended on East blvd destroying the back of the car. Poor John and Poor Car.
Milestones/Accomplishments:
Clapping:
Riley has been "clapping" her hands for a while, but it was always with one hand in a fist and the other open and she didnt understand what exactly she was doing, but now she gets it. she will do something and then clap about it.. its very cute.
Kissy Noises:
This one took me a while to figure out, i wasnt sure what she was doing. She smacks her lips together and makes a noise... i first thought it was just another cute noise she was making...
I always giver her lots of kisses really fast on her tummy..cheek...neck and it makes the same noise... i did it to her the other day and she laughed and looked at me and then did it back. She has been giving kisses to me for a couple months (the opened mouth slobber on your face kind) but to watch her mock me is extremely cute!
Talking
My Babbling baby has a word list now. Its not just baby talk anymore she is actually saying things..
1. Mama: this was her first
2 Baba: she says baba when she wants her sipy cup
3. No: she will actually tell me No! its cute for now!
4. Dog: Yesterday i had her in the walker and she was looking through the door at the dog and i said something about seeing the dog and she looked and said Dog.
Teething
Oh boy is she teething... this poor baby has been so grumpy and feverish and miserable for the past week and i still dont see them breaking through yet.. and yes it is teething she is not just sick.. she has every single sign of teething. i feel so bad for her.
Great Eatter
No this is not including Rileys top food groups (Dirt, Dog Fur and Paper).
well baby food went out the window... Riley will not eat it...i dont blame her it is bland and absolutely the worst thing i have ever tasted. Instead she eats basically what ever i am eatting (it is a well balanced meal... and healthy...same as what the baby food is just...better.) And boy does she love food.
her new favorites are wheat crackers with cheese, Green beans, Mac - n- cheese, she loves pasta. well she loves basically anything i give her... except baby food.
Seperation Anxiety
We both have a case of this. I get really anxious when ever i can't see her or i am away from her for to long, when i sleep i wake up multiple times in the middle of the night freaking out, i have nightmares about her ..causing me to shoot out of bed to check on her.
Last night i had a nightmare that she was turning blue .. her arm and ears and neck and face. I shot up out of bed to check on her and she wasnt there..i had a mini panic attack and then turned and realized she was already in my bed. She was Safe, i dont move when i sleep and the bed is big enough for both of us. Yes i know its not safe to have her in the bed but there was nothing around her but empty bed... and the bed is against the wall so she couldnt have fallen out. It scared me. i had another dream it was scary was well but not as bad as that one.
Anytime i leave her or she is handed to someone she doesnt know that well she will cry and cry until she is back in my arms and then turn and look and smile at them and interact. She still wants to talk and play with them just in the safety of her mommys arms.
Adventures for the Week:
