Life as of late...

I've been a bit swamped lately.  I won't bore you with all the things I have on my plate at the moment, but trust me, it's a lot.  So this post is kind of a jumbled mess with less than stellar photos, but here you go.

Big news: Riley now has two teeth!!  Her second one FINALLY broke through the day after she turned 9 months old.  AND, I think I saw one of her top teeth under the gums!  Now, I can't be sure, as Riley gives me about half a second before she sticks her tongue out or clamps her mouth shut.  Oh yeah, and that tongue?  Constantly out these days.

Also, Riley has really discovered climbing.  She's going to figure out how to get up on the couch in no time, just you watch.  I made the mistake of leaving the bumbo seat next to the couch while I went into the kitchen, and came back out to see this...  it's blurry because I was trying to snap a quick shot before she fell over, but you get the idea...

For a while now Riley has been obsessed with that white rug you see.  She loves to suck on it (gross) and run her hands along it.  Well, she's discovered something else she can do with it now too...

You should've seen her face when she realized she no longer has to bend down to suck on the carpet.  The carpet CAN COME TO HER.  Oh the little joys in life.  And her other favorite thing to do these days??  Torment poor little Taylor.  She climbs on him, grabs him, steals his toys (which, to be fair, are actually her toys), yells at him, and just will not leave him alone.  Luckily, he doesn't really seem to mind.

Oh oh I forgot to add, we had Riley's 9 month check-up yesterday, and she is now in the 85% percentile for height (28.5 inches) and 60-something percentile for weight (18.5 pounds).  My baby is getting tall.  And she's growing up.  Honestly, when I saw this next picture, I had to stop for a minute and be like "where has my baby gone???"  She just looks so toddler-like!

She's obsessed with that ottoman by the way.  It's wicker and she loves the texture so it's one of her new fave things to pull up on.  Her little mind is like a sponge lately, she is discovering something new and doing something new every single day.  She loves crawling races, and she's discovered she is tall enough to see over the arm of the couch and peek at whoever is sitting on the other side (awesome), and also figured out she can climb out of her high chair (not awesome).  She splashes so hard that water flies across the room when she's in the tub.  She all of a sudden hates getting put in her car seat and cries as soon as I close the door, but is happy as can be once we get moving.  She will almost always stop crying if I sing to her.  She saves her biggest, loudest, cutest laughs for her daddy.  She loves the washer and the dryer.  She loves to "brush her teeth" by herself, but is less than cooperative when we try and do it for her.  She still cries every single time we finish reading stories.  She's in love with the ipad, and has her biggest tantrum ever when we put it away.  Peek-a-boo is the best form of free entertainment in the entire world.  She's reverted back to sleeping with a paci, and I am not happy about it (this happened because I started giving it to her again when she was sick and I was desperate to do anything to just get the poor miserable baby to sleep, and apparently it jump started the bad habit... oops).  She fake coughs all the time and thinks it's so so funny.  She turns the pages of books and laughs when we get to her favorite parts.  She will stop whatever she's doing and crawl across the room if we bribe her with a book.  She loves knocking over towers we build.  She loves shaking things that make noise and will do so on command.  She loves eating shoes.  She's totally fun and super happy most of the time.

At that's just some of things she's doing as of late. :)

Getting so big! Carsyn's second tooth just broke through too. It took like a month and a half.
