Yesterday was Riley's 9 month birthday...Uncle Greg and Poppy came down to celebrate the 4th- but b/c of the craptastic weather, we didn't get to the beach as planned but we did get to go to Manasquan for a walk on the boardwalk and do a little shopping (thanks for the cool new orange onesie, Uncle Woobs!)
Hmmm, some ninth month accomplishments?
*Riley can now "clap" when we ask him to...and he's very proud of his clapping abilities
* He can also "bounce" on command and open his mouth when we say "open"
* He also is getting the hang of waving- he started frantically waving at a little girl in a stroller today, which was funny b/c it was the 1st time he has done so without Jim or I prompting him to wave hello/goodbye
* He's a master crawler/cruiser and has even started to take some unaided steps as of today but we can see that he is still very wary of walking
*We're still having some sleep issues and he's not so keen on non-pureed foods (he's a lazy chewer)...but he's pretty neat all around so we can't complain!
Some new pics for ya'll:
He's like Jim...he needs to ease into the water
This next picture made Jim and I crack up b/c, as you can see, Riley is super excited about his new pool, he looks like such a goof, but a cute goof
"Well, I don't like my Mom's meatballs very much, or I certainly won't touch her mushy peas, so what makes me think I'm going to like her blueberry pie?"
"Wait a minute, that tastes pretty good!"
This next pic is just screaming "LARDASS, LARDASS, LARDASS!"...If you don't understand this, you need to run to your video store and rent Stand By Me.
Last but not least, a bath pic, b/c who doesn't love a naked baby?
Sister, you're dating yourself by referencing a "run to the video store" HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteI do miss my down the street video store, but netflix is da bomb, I have to say.
Who doesn't love naked babies. The pictures are great. He's so cute!
