Happy 10 months, Riley! The biggest change with Riley is her ability to crawl ALL OVER THE PLACE. For the past year, I've had to keep my garbage cans on the bathroom counter because Ethan and Mia would get into them, take all the toilet paper out, and shred it into a million pieces. In the past couple of months, I've been able to put them on the floor because they now leave them alone. Guess what Riley does the second she's in the bathroom? Goes immediately for the garbage can, knocks it over, and takes the toilet paper out. I guess here goes another year of keeping garbage cans on the counter! I often wonder what people think when they come over!Her one and only word is still "dada." Every day, I tell her to say "mama" and she immediately starts saying "dada" over and over and over. It's pretty cute. I'll get it on video one of these days!
She is enjoying table food more and more. She is starting to prefer it over her bottle. She's a good little eater. Her favorite foods include Gerber Little Crunchies, Gerber fruit strips, Gerber yogurt melts, any type of cracker but especially graham crackers, yogurt, bananas. She still nurses when she's tired, but she's starting to bite. I don't know how much longer it's going to last!
Her sleeping pattern is still a little unpredictable. She's slept through the night the last couple of nights, but tends to wake up once during the night. We usually have to get up and give her a bottle to get her to go back to sleep. She takes one nap during the day and it usually lasts a couple of hours. We still lay her down when she's sleepy but awake. It's going well. She is usually asleep within 5-10 minutes. If not, I go get her and rock her to sleep.
Getting into the satellite dish. She also likes getting into Mike's PS3. She's all ready turned it on and ejected the game a couple of times.
Being goofy.
Packed in the car like sardines.
Sporting her winter garb.
Loving her Johnny Jumper.
Hanging out.
Look at this body!
The girls got some thighs!
She can now pull herself up on stuff.
