Riley Turns 1!

So, it has been awhile since we've posted, sorry about that! Riley turned one on March 7th, hard to believe really! We had a wonderful day of Elmo cake and a nice walk on Narragansett beach. Riley was not too fond of the cake, we weren't sure if it was because she thought she was eating Elmo or something else?! She opted to have hummus instead which was fine with us!

Riley is motoring around pretty good, she's not walking yet, but we assume she will be soon. A few of her favorite words are Kitty, fish, mama, dada, cheese, dog and she can sign more and milk. She has moved to her new carseat and she now tends to stay awake when we drive anywhere since there is now so much to look at besides the back seat! She is sleeping almost 12 hours a night and has 12 teeth!

I recently got a job at the University of Rhode Island working in their granting office as a Scientific Research Grant Assistant. I start work on Monday and Riley will be attending the daycare on the edge of campus. She has already done a few trial days and it was much harder for me than her :) I think she had a lot of fun playing with all the kids, but she was quite tired afterwards. I think it may just take us a bit to get into a routine. I can't believe my little monkey has turned 1!
