8 months: week 2 ...an update of the past couple weeks

We have Wifi in the backyard!... and the back of the kitchen and Rileys room! wahooo. Now if i can just find more time to update this thing.
Riley is doing awesome, she is learning something new every day, GROWING every day. that baby is like a weed she just gets bigger and bigger by the second. Its absolutely amazing to watch her do..anything.

Things have been kinda hechtic around here. I cant fully take care of Riley by myself yet and can do everything on my own yet, it sucks. I have to have help putting my pants on. I can't wait til i am back to my 100 percent. although i have not let this broken leg stop me it definately gets in the way big time.

Daddy and Baby:
My absolute favorite thing to see in the world is John holding Riley, and watching them interact with each other. There isnt anything in the world i would rather wake up to than my 2 favorite people in the world smiling at me and at each other. I love my little family <3

Uncle Corndog:
Stilll wont hold baby...or touch her.. or come near here. WE WILL BREAK HIM!

My Mommy:
i miss her so much.. i can't wait til she is able to come back in town.

Family in Florida:
I love and miss you all i am sorry i havent had much free time everything takes so much longer to do and i am never alone to have a conversation. im sorry but i love and miss you all so much.
And Riley misses her Auntie Rye, Auntie Hayden, Mimi and Uncle grandpa a whole lot. Can't wait to come back and visit!


Milestones/Developments:

Riley is working her way to becoming the ULTIMATE monster...and doing a great job at it.
you tell her "No" and she either repeats you or she will smile at you and give you the "immm gonna keep doiinnng it" look. Evil is what it is. She is a trouble maker for sure!

New Tooth:
Today i Spotted a new tooth! its hanging out there a good amount that thing came in fast and out of nowhere . it is on the top...its not her front teeth though it is the one next to the front tooth. No wonder she has been in such a funk this week.... and her gums look like there are some more coming in. i was just thinking to myself yesterday "when is she going to get me teeth" and then there they are!

CLOSE TO WALKING:
She is starting to stand more on her own, for some reason after she learned how to stand and balance herself she stopped wanting to stand up. She gets nervous now. I am going to take her out of her walker more often now (even though she loves that thing) but i think it is keeping her from walking. She leans forward (as if she was going to push her walker) when i try to get her to walk while holding my hands. After a few times walking around she finally straightens up her body and walks like she should, she took 2 steps last week on her own.. but i think its time to start retiring the walker... at least until she is able to for real walk.


Schedule:
Finally she is back on her normal schedule, a couple of days she has been off but it happens. She is sleeping better at night again (now that she is not in the play pin). I have to RE-break the mid night wake up she has been doing lately but that shouldnt be too hard (as long as i dont give in)
and i need to work on her putting herself to sleep again, since i have been broken it is hard for me to walk back and forth to the crib when she cries so i have been rocking her to sleep so i only have to get up once (or so who ever is helping me only has to get up once) and now she will not go to sleep without being rocked.

Seperation Anxiety:
This child has it bad! if i am 5 feet away from her she freaks. she has to be close to me or in my arms at all times, It is getting A little bit better, if someone (john or amanda) picks her up and takes her out of eye sight of me completely she will calm down and be okay with it, but once she sees me again its all over.

Fits:
It is awful, she screams and cries to the point you think she is hurt, she starts breathing really fast you think she is hyperventalating its awful! Hopefully we get through this stage soon!



Mommy and Daddy:
we have yet to have a night out or a "Date" soon we will have to, the days just go by so fast and John is always at work its hard to get out, not to mention we are tight on money the next couple months, but we do spend a lot more time together and with Riley at the house. John is so great with her, they play in the morning before he goes to work, and then when he has a break they play.
Tuesdays are "Family" days, John has a full day off work so we all get to be together, Wednesdays are mommys nights to get out of the house and daddy watches the baby and John gets to pick the other nights depending on what is going on to go out and then the rest of the nights we are all home together. Its nice to be back with him, He is so great to us and takes such great care of both Riley and I. I couldnt ask for a better person to spend the rest of my life with! I love him. <3

Play Dates:
we are still looking for playdates.. so far we have been canceled on by ..well everyone we have tried to play with... enough said. Im working on finding new friends to play with.
