Watch out!


Well, a number of things have happened in the past couple of weeks, but life has been keeping us busy enough to keep from updating the blog. First and foremost, Riley has two teeth. They showed up together on the bottom, and it looks like she is not done at the moment. She has still be drooling like crazy and chewing on anything that will stay still long enough for her to grab. So, we’re expecting some more teeth soon. On top of that, solid foods are beginning to dominate the meals. We blend up most things at the moment, but chunks of cheese and cheerios are becoming a favorite and we have been introducing new textures a little bit at a time, which has been the key for not finding ourselves covered in recycled food. Finally, we have introduced a walker into the toy rotation. Now, there is mobility. Riley has had fun running around the kitchen and seeing what she can get her hands on and the cats have quickly figured out the radius of the mechanism so that they can avoid the sticky grasp. Cabinets are being opened, cookbooks are being groped and onions are being tasted. Pretty much anything within reach is being sampled at this point. Only a preview of things to come when she is no longer surrounded by a plastic battering ram.
