Yup! Forget toys, I'm just going to wrap up a bunch of dog toys and treats.
Riley finally managed to score a morsel of Maggie's food today. I thought I got it out of his mouth but he socked away a little juicy nugget to munch on..the little turd even clamped his jaw down when I realized he still had a piece in his mouth! That's one of his new tricks!- locking down his jaw as tight as possible when you're trying to get a peek at all his crazy new teeth or trying to rescue something he shouldn't be eating, like, um DOG FOOD??
Anyway, things are good, although as hectic as I guess it should be with 2 parents working and the holidays quickly approaching. I already realize this week will be a blur since I have a gazillion things to do at school to get prepared to be "paper-grading free" for my winter break...plus, I need to wrap presents, do my last minute shopping, bake cookies, AND address Xmas cards! eek. Well, getting back to Riley...he's doing good, a bit on the crazy side lately with his sleeping but realized this weekend that he has the "upper hand" so, we're going to slowly try and curb his whole getting up in the middle of the night (sometimes even before midnight!) NOT going back to sleep unless he's on top of one of us. He's running around like madman, loves being chased, loves to take our gloves, hats, and scarves out of our winter bin. He also has a particular penchant for two of my "evening" bags that are housed with our winter wear...which we think is hilarious b/c he walks around the house with one of my Mommom's sequined bags with such grace! He's been learning lots of new words but mostly he is just saying them as "repeats" not with much real meaning or direction yet. He does do YEAH! and OH NO...pretty good though!
Hmmm, Christmas should be interesting this year, I don't think he's gonna "get it" but I know he'll have a blast. Until then...hopefully, we'll get some pics up soon!
PS- Riley has apparently inherited his parent's "foodie" gene. He LOVES lobster ravioli, Brussels Sprouts, penne with vodka sauce. Oh yeah Boo loves the Ling too!
I've been singing "Riley's getting dogfood for christmas" to the tune of "im getting nuthing for christmas" all morning now and Gibson thinks its hilarious. But now I think he wants dogfood too. Good to know Im not the only human mattress, but I hope his sleep gets better soon (gibson too!!)
