All Grown Up

We are: 25 weeks and 6 days!!

It is hard for me to believe that Riley will be 6 months on Friday!!! That is 1/2 a year (in case you didn't know that already)!! But 1/2 a year seems so old to me!! Let's see...what is new with her these days?!?!

* She doesn't want anything to do with her play mat anymore. She will lay there for 2 minutes, then roll over. She will play with the things on the mat for about 2 minutes, then they bore her.

* Riley still loves to play in her Jumparoo, but likes to "walk" in her walker even more. She rotates between the Jumparoo, Execersaucer, and the walker. Some days she is easily entertained, other days her attention span is about 2 minutes and then she wants to move on to the next toy.

* Riley loves when we dance with her or sing to her. She likes to dance WITH us, but also enjoys when we dance TO her. She will sit in her chair and we (I) dance in front of her and she will laugh so hard. It is really cute. It is great exercise too!!

* Riley is LOVING her new applesauce and HATES lima beans. I tried to get her to like other veggies, but she is very content with the Sweet Potatoes, Peas, Squash, Green Beans and carrots. I am not a fan of carrots, since they stain! But she likes them so I shall feed her them!!

* We are slowly trying the fruits. Tonight will be peaches!! Yum Yum!!

Botton line, We are loving everyday with her. Every time she laughs or smiles it makes you fall more and more in love with her. She is becoming a little girl right before our eyes and I can't wait to get to know her more and more!! Here are some photos for you to feast your eyes on:

Wearing a sweatband....getting ready to work out!!
