Can you believe it? Our little girl has hit the parallel lines! She's just one month shy of the big 01!
Riley's doing so many things now a days, it's hard to keep up. Seriously it's hard to keep up... she's always moving, and it tuckers us out! Check out the destruction at the end of one night! (We used to clean up as we went through the day... CAYGO for all you McD's folks... but that took too much effort. So, we spend each night resetting everything for the next day.)
Riley's latest development is learning how to balance, hands-free! It's hard to get a video of it as we never know when she's going to do it. Plus it doesn't last that long. This video is the best one we have so far.
We estimate Riley to weigh somewhere around 20 1/2 pounds and measure somewhere around 29 1/4 inches in length. If you have been keeping up with the "What's Riley eating?" list on the right, you'll see that she's eating like crazy. Usually now I just make one meal for all of us and we eat it as a family. The only problem with that is we now eat dinner around 5:15-5:30pm since Riley usually goes to bed around 6:00-6:15pm. Yeah, we'd like it to be later, but with Riley only taking 2 naps now (one in the morning and one in the early afternoon), she can't stay up any longer.
Riley is still struggling to sleep through the night. She used to be able to do this, but once she started really cruising, she started waking up once or twice a night. We think it has something to do with her using so many new muscles! Riley loves to play games with you, especially peak-a-boo. That always puts the biggest smile on her face! Riley loves to play with her toys, in particular toys that makes noise! Check out Riley pushing her car through the house.
All in all, we have just the happiest and sweetest baby girl two parents could ever hope for. We are so incredibly blessed. We love you Riley!

Not to mention the fact that that second video there arguably contains her very first step!
OMG, look at her walking! That is so amazing!
LOL, Carter has never slept through the night. He still wakes up to nurse at least once, but I don't mind. ;-)
We think her sleeping has to do with two things. One is that she doesn't know how to self-adjust to find a more comfortable sleeping position in the middle of the night like we do. Two is that she sleep crawls! When Cam went in last night she was up on her hands and knees trying to scoot forward! :)
