Eight is Great

Riley is 8 months old today! She is getting too big - sometimes we wonder how in the world this is the same baby. This past month has been exciting - so many things have happened. Riley celebrated her first Easter and she had her first trip to the zoo. Riley also got her second tooth this month. Riley is "speaking" more, she says a few words including dada, baba, uh-oh and quack quack. No mama yet, but I will continue to wait patiently for her to say it. She also gives high fives (but only to mommy, daddy is jealous). We can't express enough how much we love being parents to this inquistive little girl. Everyday we learn something new about her and the world through an 8 month old's eyes. It's the greatest feeling in the world.

Would someone please tell this little girl to stop growing?!

Riley has been practicing her crawling, which consists of her either turning in a circle or scooting backwards! Hey, she's learning! She also has been working on standing and doing a really good job. We are also working on getting Riley to wave - I think she may have it down soon enough. Soon Riley will be able to enjoy daddy AND mommy at night, as I have a new work schedule that will allow me to be home every night to take part in dinner and bath time (and listening to the theme song to Go Diego Go!, as she is doing in this picture).

Yes They grow too fast. Every moment is precious. She is adorable! Kylie was looking at the computer when I clicked on your blog and she said "Awwwe Bebe Bebe" and giggled and clapped "yay yay".
