6 months

Riley is now 6 months and is still growing like crazy. So far, the biggest changes have happened between 5 and 6 months. Here are some highlights:

• She weighs 17 lbs. 8 oz. and is 26 1/4 ", which are both in the 75%.
• She's now wearing 9-12 month clothes. It gets difficult sometimes to squeeze her chubby legs into pants.
• She has lost a lot of hair and now sports a mohawk comb-over & mullet. It seems like it may come in dark still, but in a certain light it has a lighter/auburn tint again.
• She still has beautiful blue eyes and two teeth. She keeps acting like she's teething but no more teeth yet.
• She is super smiley and talkative. It seems like her stranger anxiety is going away...at least for now.
• Her mode of transportation is rolling around. She can roll across our living room in just a few seconds. This makes it difficult in her crib though because she bumps her head a lot on the crib slats.
• She is sitting up now without assistance, but I still stay close by because she'll tip over sometimes.
• She seems like she's trying to crawl.
• Her favorite foods right now are oatmeal and squash.
• She LOVES her exersaucer, and also likes to read, play with her toys, and loves when I sing. You are my Sunshine and The Wheels on the Bus are her favorite songs still. She's also playing my new keyboard that I got for my birthday.
• The biggest change!!! She's finally taking naps in her crib and sleeping more through the night. We still have issues with her One Cycle Sleep Syndrome which makes her wake up around the 30 min. mark. Sometimes I can get her back to sleep, but not always. She's only waking up 2-3 times a night now (as compared to the 5-6 times a night last month). I feel like a new person now that I'm getting more sleep!!

1st Mariners Game

We were in Grapeview, Wa for our friend's wedding last weekend, from Thur. to Sun. On Friday, we took the Bremerton ferry over to Seattle for a Mariners game with the wedding party. We had a blast and Riley was great!

The ferry ride was beautiful! Once we got to the game around 7:15 or so, it was time for her to eat and go to bed. The stadium had a nice Mother's Lounge to nurse in with a TV to watch the game and nice leather chairs. Normally she would be ready to sleep after, but of course she was wide awake with all the new sights and sounds. She finally fell asleep in Brian's arms, I'm guessing around 8:45 or 9pm.
Her first time standing outside on a ferry.

Bundled up at the game.
