Riley is getting so big

     Well a lot can happen in 4 months.  Riley is 8 months old now and is so much fun.  We had Riley's baby blessing on October 9th.  We were so greatful for all the love and support from all our family and friends.  She learned to roll over in November, and now goes all over the floor.  She is pretty good at sitting, we have been working on that for awhile.  I started feeding her rice cereal in January and she loved it.  She now eats cereal twice a day along with fruit and vegetable baby food.  She also eats those flavored Puff's that disolve really fast.  She is a good eater and we also give her different things off of our plates, depending on what it is.  Her newest trick is that she is starting to crawl.  She will push up on all fours and rock back and forth and than try and move forward.  She can move forward but she is not very fast yet, rolling is still faster.  But I'm sure she will soon be all over the place. She also got her first tooth on March 10th, and I think she has another one coming.  At her 6th month check-up she weighed 15lbs. 5oz. and was 24.7 in tall.  She has always been a little sweetheart.  She is such a happy, sweet little girl.  She sleeps through the night now, and it is wonderful.  She goes down at 7:30pm and wakes up at 7:30am.  Riley has been such an easy baby, she is hardly ever fussy.  I started working in a bottle in the begining of March and it only took 1 day.  I stopped nursing completely a few days after her tooth came in and she did just fine.  Riley is such a blessing in our lives and she brings so much happiness to our home.  We just love her so much.




     Kyle and I are doing really well also.  Not much has happened with us.  There is still a lot that I want to do to our home, and I haven't really been able to do anything yet.  Kyle is loving his job.  Right now he is in White City and works 4 days on, 4 days off from 5 pm to 4:30 am.  The 4 days that he works is a little hard because we don't get a lot of time with him.  But the 4 days off is great because we get a lot of time with him.
