8 Months Old!

Happy 8 months to Riley! Not only is today her 8 month birthday, but it is also Christmas Eve, which is why I decided it would be appropriate to take her new picture in a slightly more festive location in honor of the day.


Some important things to know about Riley this month:

  • She is crawling!!! It's her own special hybrid, but she uses both her arms and legs to get where she wants to go now.


  • She says "mama".... I had to work hard to beat Kris to "dada".


  • She has 4 teeth now, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom.


  • She is still really, really smiley


  • She loves Taz (Gigi and Popdady's dog) and Bella . Animals are a recent discovery for her and when she sees them she squeals and waves her arms like crazy.


  • She is an excellent tag finder and loves to chew on the really satiny ones


  • Christmas lights and Christmas trees take her breath away. She gasps anytime she sees either of these beautiful sights.

While part of me wishes she could stay little forever, I do love to watch her grow. She amazes me everyday with the things that she is learning to do. We just adore her!
