8 months

Riley is 8 months today. Brian had the day off so we went out to breakfast this morning. She had a blast sitting in the highchair, while talking, screaming and banging on the table. Everyone was laughing. She is so talkative in the mornings...and lately waking up bright and early at 5:45 (hasn't adjusted to the time change yet but getting there.)



Here are the latest highlights:

• She weighs about 20lbs and is now in 12 months clothes but she has to wear 18 months in jeans because here thighs are too chubby to fit into 12m.
• She now has 4 teeth, 2 on top and two on bottom
• She loves to scream and make noise by banging on tables, highchairs, shaking her rattle, or banging on her xylophone and drum.
• She is now eating more solid food (not sure it would qualify as finger foods?) She's eating puffs and mum mums which are rice puffs that dissolve easily. She loves to feed her self and seems to favor her right hand at the moment.
• She is SO close to crawling. She crawls a few steps then falls on her tummy. Her new favorite thing is to go from her tummy to a sitting position in her crib and play in her crib rather than nap.
• It sounds like she might be singing...or at least trying to. When music is on or when I sing, she will sometimes sing along.
• She loves touch and feel books. Her favorite book right now is the Very Hungry Caterpillar.
