Today, aside from daydreaming about Halloween, I actually got a lot accomplished. (1) Because Riley decided to sleep until 8:30 this morning (that is a BIG deal since she has been getting up at 5-ish for the past 3 days) and (2) because she was mostly content to just chill wherever I was. But she didn't like being left out, so I had to keep transferring her from room to room... until finally, I got smart.
I told my mom we were having a Halloween party, and that I was sad at the lack of "Halloween-y" things here. So she wasted no time, spent a small fortune in shipping costs, and sent me a huge box full of goodies. A sneak peek (can't give away all the goodies before the party!) Thanks mom!! This is the face Riley made when I asked her if she wanted some funfetti... Smart baby, she knows. Can't wait 'til she's old enough to taste this deliciousness. Until then, she can just hold the box. One of the things I am most disappointed about is the fact that we cannot take Riley to a pumpkin patch to pick out a baby-sized pumpkin. Sure, she won't remember anyway, but that doesn't matter. And I wanted to carve pumpkins (but people don't do that here either!) We'll just have to get creative I suppose. Today, aside from daydreaming about Halloween, I actually got a lot accomplished. (1) Because Riley decided to sleep until 8:30 this morning (that is a BIG deal since she has been getting up at 5-ish for the past 3 days) and (2) because she was mostly content to just chill wherever I was. But she didn't like being left out, so I had to keep transferring her from room to room... until finally, I got smart. Yup, I just plopped her right down in the middle of the hallway, where she could pretty much just turn her little head and see me wherever I went. And she liked it. Or at least, she didn't cry about it, so I took that as a good sign. Stay tuned for a video of her laugh/cry when we tickle her. Hee-larious. And a little sad. All mixed into one.
