Go Huskies!!

Ready for Halloween

We took a trip down to Woodinville to visit Grandma and Grandpa, and Great-Grandma to show off her ladybug Halloween costume.

My friend, Jenn, got her these cute kitty ears that are hair clips. She barely had enough hair for them, but they worked. So cute!

Grandma couldn't resist getting her Halloween jammies and a bib that says Grandma's Little Boo. She loves wearing the fleece jammies to bed...so snugly.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch (Boxx Berry Farm in Ferndale) last weekend with a bunch of friends who have babies around the same age. It was so much fun! All the babies together. The photo opp. lasted for only a few minutes because a chain reaction of crying started. One started crying and then the other and then the other, but Riley didn't cry. She was a happy camper.

Riley and her friend Charlotte. She loves to hold other babies hands. It's so cute when she reaches out to hold hands!

7 months

On October 11th, Riley turned 7 months. She is such a happy baby! I'm having so much fun with her and watching her develop and grow each day. Here are the latest highlights:

• Not sure what she weighs but she has now almost grown out of her 9 month clothes. She's in 12 month clothes but her little chubby legs are so big that she has to wear 18 months pants and even then sometimes they don't fit.
• She now eats 3 solid meals a day and her favorite foods are apples and squash, and she hates bannannas
• She sleeps with her cute little butt up in the air
• She is still rolling all over the place, sitting up and trying to crawl
• She loves to turn the pages when we read
• She understands her name and the words daddy, kitty and puppy...and I'm sure others. When I say kitty or puppy she stops and looks around for them
• She laughs at our dog, Davis, when he runs around the yard with his squeaky ball
• She is sleeping much better (THANK YOU!!) but still wakes 2-3 times a night and has some short naps. Not complaining though because it's a lot better than 5-6 times a night like before.
• We're now trying to go to storytime at the library once a week but it falls between her naps so sometimes we miss it. Such a fun time! We sing, dance and listen to stories. Hoping to create a music class with some other Moms too.
• We are working on Spanish and French, which means I'm brushing up on the languages too. I try to say most words in English and Spanish, and sometimes French if I can remember it. We're reading some French children's books (Petit Lapin Blanc series), but I have no idea if I'm pronouncing the words correctly. Oh well!
