7 Months Old!

Happy 7 months to Riley today!
Notice anything different about our little Miss this month? That's right...she's sitting up all by herself! This has been one of her biggest accomplishments this month and she just loves to show off her balancing skills now... she especially loves when we give her applause.
You may also have noted....
...the absence of our usually present month sign which as you can see was way to enticing to leave sitting there for our picture.

Aside from the occasional paper she tries to scarf down, Riley started eating solud foods this month and learning to eat has been quite the adventure. Fun...but messy most of the time. She has proven herself to be a young foodie and so far likes just about everything I've made for her including mashed avocado.

While she has not uttered her first words just yet, Riley is still quite the conversationalist and loves to chat with me all day. Her vocubulary has recently expanded to include "ba ba ba" and "pa pa pa". Riley is working on waving and loves to flap her arms up and down in excitement when she sees her own reflection in the mirror. ..too cute! Except for being able to roll just about anywhere she wants to go, she is still fairly stationary which both Kris and I are savoring because we know it won't be for too much longer. It is amazing that our little one is becoming so independent, but we love how she can interact and play with us.

It was James' 8 month that the birthday sign got challenging. I had to get pretty creative to get a picture of him not eating them after that point. Riley just keeps getting cuter, Happy Birthday Miss Riley, we can't wait to see you next weekend!
