9 Months

Today Riley turned 9 months old. It was an exciting day to reflect on all of her accomplishments over the past month. Let's see, Riley has mastered mama and dada. She definitely says mama way more and I am not the least bit upset over that! She has mastered clapping. She finally realized that if she opens her hands it makes noise. We can't get her to stop clapping. She has learned how to wave hello and goodbye and even says "bye bye" (not too clearly, but she only says it when she's waving, so obviously we think she is saying bye bye). Riley loves standing. Crawling still frustrates her, but she gives a great effort everyday. We are starting to experiment with some table foods - most recently french toast - which she loves.

We are one more month closer to 1. I still sit and watch Riley and wonder how lucky we are to be parents to this beautiful girl!! Stayed tuned to see what exciting adventures Riley has over the next month!!
