One of the cutest things to watch is how Riley has taken the initiative in playing games. One such game is one we call, "Where's Riley?" We started this early on by putting her blanket ("Fluff") on her head, and asking her "Where's Riley?" Then Riley would pull the blanket off.
This morning, Riley initiated a spin-off of this game. She bent down "behind" our coffee table, "waited" until we said "Where's Riley?" and then popped up, giggling, laughing, and smiling away. I put the words behind and waited in quotes because Riley would sometimes either bend down where we could see her or get so excited that she would pop up immediately after she bent down!
You might also note while watching the video that Riley says something which is very close to the word, "Hi!" We're not a 100% positive if this should be counted as her first word, but really can you ever be? It sure sounds like it AND she's saying it at a time where it makes sense to say it (after we say, "Hi Riley!" she says "Hi!"). So who knows, huh? (On a related note, when she claps it sounds very much like she is saying "Yay!" which would make sense since we always modeled saying "Yay!" when we clapped.)
