Lately Riley has been laughing and giggling...a lot. As usual she will be on a roll laughing away and then we take out the camera - and nothing. Our precious daughter cracks us up at how shy she can be in front of the camera. Today was different, we actually got some footage. Too bad mommy had to oink like a pig to get her to do it!!!!
Today was Thanksgiving, my first! Mommy and Daddy talked to me about Thanksgiving all week long. First they told me about what Thanksgiving is, then they told me about all the yummy delicious food they would eat, then they told me what they were thankful for. Turns out they are both pretty darn thankful for me!
After putting much thought into what I was thankful for, I realized I was thankful for diapers, formula, toys, my bed, my bouncy chair, Jack's Big Music Show, and Wonder Pets. BUT what I am most thankful for is all of my grandparents (great ones too), aunts, uncles, cousins and most especially my mommy and daddy!!
I have to say, I am impressed with Thanksgiving. Can't wait for next year when I can actually taste the food. Thanks again Juh-Juh and Gramps for hosting a fabulous feast! I had a blast!!!
Today was Riley's lucky day! She had her Juh Juh, Aunt Laurie and Aunt Jenny over for a visit. She hasn't seen them in a while and was pleased to have them over to her new crib!

Riley got a new toy from Juh Juh, meet Geneva the monkey. Riley already loves her! She had a wonderful visit and can't wait to see all of them again (plus her uncles, cousins and of course Grandpa) at Thanksgiving.
Today was my first day at daycare. I wasn't sure I really wanted to go, but daddy pumped me up in the morning and I was ready to rock!
I had a good day! The teachers are nice and they think I am so cute. It's probably because I am one of two little babies there. I had quite a busy day; I ate 3 bottles, pooped twice and took 3 naps.
I had such a good day that I was pooped by the time mommy came to get me. 
Even though I would much rather spend the day with mommy and daddy, I know they have to work. As mommy says, you can't get by on just your good looks. But I was thinking, everyone talks about how cute I am...maybe I can get by on my good looks!!!!
Riley has spent the first almost 3 months of her life sharing a room with mommy and daddy. And while we loved sharing our sleeping space with her and enjoyed all those midnight and later feedings, we thought it was time for Riley to get a new bed. She was excited...see??
So here it is almost done:
Riley has beautiful bedding that we weren't able to use until now, it's so pretty:
Since Riley is starting day care on Monday, we decided we won't officially move her to her own room until the following week. We're afraid too much change may make her crazy - and we don't want a crazy baby! Plus, there are still some finishing touches we need to do to make her room her own.
We're going to miss the sounds of Riley sleeping (and waking us up), but at some point we have to let her go. Of course the fact that she is only moving across the hall makes the move a little easier too!!
Stay tuned in the upcoming weeks for a final peek at Riley's room.
