Here Comes Pinky

Not much narration needed for this cute video from Kent's Beach, but a couple of side notes: First, those finger puppets (which she asked for, after having seen them on an episode of Caillou) are made of play-dough, and had names that I now forget. Actually, I believe one was Bob. Also, if you can't tell, the song she's singing is "Where is Thumbkin", or rather, a merge of a couple of different versions of that song.

Adventures in baby-sitting

This week has been quite an adventure for Riley. First up, she stayed with her first babysitter (who was not related to her)! We have hired a student of Cam's, someone who came highly recommended, to watch Riley in Cam's office while Cam is teaching. This only equated to one hour, but it was a huge step! Of course, Riley did wonderfully. Would you expect any less?

Second, Riley is getting SO strong at sitting. She is actually sitting up by herself for short periods of time. Below you'll see two videos of Riley trying her hardest to stay up. She has gotten quite good at regaining her balance most of the time, although not always as you'll see. At least she was stylin' while doing it... thanks Cathy and Tana for the awesome Canadian digs. Riley will definitely know her 'roots!'

Happy 5 months!

In case you didn't notice the ticker to the right, today is Riley's 5 month birthday!!! Here she is in her crib (bought with love by Grams and Grandpa K.) wearing her first pair of shoes and showing her Canadian roots. You should know that this shoes are truly Canadian, as they were bought just north of the border when Granny and Grandpa M. were visiting Auntie Barb. Oh, Canada!
