Our daughter is 9 Months!

To me, this was a big month. It's not her 1/2 birthday mark and it's not her 1st birthday either but it's her 9 month birthday. This means she has been in this world as long as she baked in my belly. It's just so surreal to think this much time has passed. We are lucky because she has so many friends and family that love her so much. Riley is healthy, active, funny, curious and always playful. Riley is perfect and she just becomes more amazing with each passing day.

-She is now waving "hi" and "bye"
-Sometimes (it seems like) she says "hey", "hi", "bye"
-She also says "woof, woof" (thanks to Nana!)
-And of course she says "Dada", "Mama", "Baba" and "Baby"
-She loves to stack her rings, put coins in her piggy bank, throw balls in her bucket or to the dogs and she enjoys clapping while spinning around in a circle while she's sitting (hopefully I'll get video soon!)
-Riley still only has two teeth which she got around 5 months so I'm pretty sure more are right around the corner since she has a puddle of drool coming out of her mouth all the time.
-Her crawling is now at lightning speed so watch out or she'll plow you over and she is doing a bit of cruising, not a ton, but a little here and there.
-And Riley loves ALL foods! She is a crazy good eater and I'm so lucky for that!!!

Happy 9 Months, Miss Riley Joy!


Miss Diva with a capital "D"! "Are these MY sunglasses?"


"You know what I want to do, Mom! Just let me get on with it already!!"

As you can see, Riley is SOOO over it!! LOL!
