Double digits

Yep, that's right. We're into double digits months now... Riley is 10 months old today! So many things have happened in the last month it's hard to keep track. Here are some highlights -

1. Riley has begun to gesture toward something she wants. It's not quite pointing, but more like a waiter carrying a tray (minus the tray of course). We're trying to get a good picture of it to show you, but until then the waiter analogy will suffice.

2. Crawling rapidly is still a work in progress (thankfully!), but Riley has definitely figured out how to get to something she wants. She's even starting to crawl in the more traditional way... check out the video below. This is a relatively new phenomenon.



3. Sitting up from lying down is now not a problem, which then makes standing up from lying down easy as well. It was crazy the first couple of times we went to check on Riley in her crib and found her either sitting or standing up! Good thing we moved that mattress down!

4. I absolutely adore watching Riley play, as she now plays with her toys as opposed to just eating them. Check out this video (yep, it's a double video day in honor of the double digit month) of Riley playing with her xylophone. It was taken about a week ago. She has gotten even more coordinated since then!



5. Throwing things out of the crib is fun apparently. For right now it just appears to be pacifiers, but I know more things are to come! :)
