The best baby in the whole entire world

If there's one thing I know, it's that Riley keeps me on my toes.  Like when she decides she's going to stay awake from 11pm to 2am one night, just because.  Or when she flings herself off the bed for who knows what reason (not to worry, I was right there and grabbed her by the foot before she face planted).  Or when she realizes she can use the toy bins or my legs to climb up on to the couch.  Oh yes, she's clever.  So clever, in fact, she's discovered she can use her mouth as a third hand to transport objects while she crawls or climbs.

watch
My watch is quite possible one of her fave "toys".  And she knows how to get it off my wrist, and it goes straight in the mouth
She sees my camera come out and she decides to come up with as many different faces as she can in a matter of ten seconds.  And I may or may not egg her on by mimicking each one.  She's a pretty good model for me...
faces
That is, until she realizes that she must. have. the. camera. right. NOW.  Then I mostly get shots like these...
attack
Lately, Riley rarely sits.  She's way more into kneeling or standing.  Not sure what it is about kneeling that is so cool, but it sure makes for some adorable chubby leg photos!  Right?

Notice the standing with holding on with only one hand?  That's Riley's newest and greatest way of giving me a heart attack.  She's quite good at standing and cruising, but now she's figured out she can get from one piece of furniture to another, even if they aren't right next to each other, which involves just a moment of holding on to nothing and lunging in hopes that she reaches her target.  She'll also cruise along the furniture just holding on with one hand.  MY BABY IS NOT OLD ENOUGH TO START WALKING.  Hear that Riley? 

Other ways she's keeping me on my toes?  BITING.  Holy moly.  The child is a biter.   And let me tell you, it is so not fun.  Especially now that she has one top tooth, and THREE more on the way.  (Getting this picture was pretty near impossible, in case you were wondering.)

See? My three-toothed baby!!

As a result of this biting craziness, and the fact that she's nearing one, I think it's time to start thinking about weaning.  I plan on weaning her verrrrry slowly, although I change my mind about this on a daily basis, so we'll see.  And to be honest, she's really already started self-weaning, so maybe it won't be that hard.  Who knows.  I'll keep ya posted.

Remember what I said about her mouth as a 3rd hand?  Still applies in the bath as well.

Sorry this post has gotten a bit random, BUT LOOK MY BABY HAS HAIR!!  We'll have pigtails in no time.  Right?...

You are obviously an expert baby tooth photographer as I've never even come close to getting a shot that good!!

I think the "I think I'm a little doggy" thing is a stage they all go through. Mason and his internet friend Claire both started carrying stuff in their mouth a few months ago too. It's too funny!!

LOVE that baby chub!!
