Well, let's see... so Riley is 10 months now, and in the last 2 months lots has happened! Our little baby is now a little boy, I swear it. He has 6 teeth (with more coming!), he's been truly crawling since August 10th, and he's been pulling himself up and furniture surfing since about August 15th, and he's also efficiently pushing walker toys, chairs, etc... I think he'll be walking before he's a year!!??! He's going up stairs very well, and downstairs too, but a lot less gracefully. HA! He babbles a lot, has LOTS to say (not sure where he gets that from... heh heh) and often times he says "Da Da" and "Maaaama", but we're not sure he associates those sounds with us yet or not. Sometimes I think so, but others, not so much. He LOVES to clap... if you say "yayyy", he claps! And we're working on waving and high-fives... those need some work. Although, this past weekend, he started high-fiving a lot more readily! He also "fetches"... ha! Thanks Ryan. :)
He's still not sleeping through the night... or even close, really. He wakes up at least once per night, but usually, twice. Argh. I'm sure it's mostly my fault, since though I should be weaning him from night feedings, it's hard when I'm a zombie too, to deal with an upset baby, when I can basically nurse him in my sleep while rocking in the chair, and he generally falls back asleep that way too. So, this month, that's my challenge. Wean nighttime feedings. Eek!
So, a few pictures...
This summer we went to LOTS of softball games/tournaments...
Early in August, my parents (Grammy & Granda) and the McKennas came out for a visit, and Riley summitted his first 14er, Mt Evans!
We met up with Madison & Haley at Monkey Bizness, and despite catching other kids' germies and getting sick, Riley had an AWESOME time... SO FUN! :)
And we also visited the Chatfield pumpkin patch on October 15th!... This is the pumpkin we bought... Rilers picked it out :)
Riley LOVES other kids... here he's made a friend at the Let it Fly 4v4 Flag Football tournament! This other little boy's name was Riley, too!!
Tonight we went up to watch Ryan play softball and it was COLD! So I decided to put Riley's halloween costume to good use since it's size 12 mos and big enough to fit lots of layers underneath... here's our tubby little dinosaur :) More pictures to come after this weekend's ACTUAL Halloween festivities!
I'll try to be better about updates, but this busy mumma promises nothing. :)
