The Monthly Update..... 7 Months - YIKES!!!

It's going by so fast and Riley's getting way too big! It's amazing all the new and exciting things this little baby is doing right now. Dada is her new favorite thing to say over and over and over and over - I love how I'm with her all day and she pops out with DADA!!! Oh well, she looks at me ands says DaDa so I cant take it too personal. She's found her voice for sure and loves to hear her echo and just hearing herself period. She's testing out more and more "people" food and thank GOD for Puffs - Gerber has these puffs that disintegrate pretty much as soon as that good ol' baby spit gets on them. Riley loves the banana flavor and anytime she starts getting a little loud and crazy we pop those in her mouth and she's good to go. Yeah, yeah I know - probably not the best idea to give her food whenever she starts screaming but Hey - gotta do what I gotta do :)! Riley isn't crawling yet but she tries - of course once she sees one of us watching her she drops down and starts crying so she can get picked up. She's no dummy - she'd rather be carried any day of the week than have to work it on her own by actually crawling! Riley also LOVES being outside with Daddy or being pushing in her stroller or just sitting out on our front porch step. She's the craziest, sweetest little thing and I cant believe she's 7 months already!!!

You Know You Have A Good Husband When......

He spends all day running you and your 3 girls errands instead of doing whatever else he wants. Paige and Maddie both were invited to a bday sleepover so it was a mad rush to make sure everything was all ready to go. We had to buy another sleeping bag, get gifts, buy new pjs and get them all ready, wrapped and to the party by 4. Kids got dropped off and I got to go get a nice mani/pedi while Riley stayed home with Paul! Toes and fingers feeling great (saw a guy in a hideous skirt) and back home. On to the Domain for some shopping and then dinner.....just with me Paul and Ry and she's a dream usually at restaurants so all in all it was so nice! How great is that husband of mine??? Shop all day and run around for Paige and Maddie then giving me some great alone time and then off to shop with/for me and I didn't have to cook on top of it......if there was a Best Husband/Daddy Award mine would definitely take it :)

Too Much

Well last night we went out to eat some yummy Mexican food with the kiddos. Riley has been "contained" to this point in her carrier. It's been that great stage of her falling asleep in the car and just being carried into the restaurant, movies even the house and just letting her sleep in her seat. Well I think those days are quickly coming to an end ....... :( Where has my baby gone??
