Just an update....

Riana seems to be feeling better! I can't believe how much she is growing a changing every day! She has gotten really good at army crawling and she sits up really well! She still loves to stand and can pull herself up by grabbing our hands.  We are just waiting for her to learn to stand up by herself and take off walking or really crawling!

She had her first kind of sleep over Sunday night while we went to Emily and Tyler's wedding.  She stayed with Amber, Clifton and Macy! Amber took some really great pictures and they seemed to have a good time although Riana acted like a little bully again and attacked Macy! I like to think she is just really excited to see her and doesnt know how to show it any other way.

We have really enjoyed having Justin, Kim and their kids here for the last little bit.  We spent some time with them yesterday and had dinner with the whole family.  I let Riana try some mashed potatoes for the first time and a few little pieces of green beans.  You could tell that it was something new in her mouth by her expressions but she ate them and seemed to enjoy it.  I am excited to see her reactions when she actually get to start eating  table food more often!

TEETH!

Just a cute picture from the other day!

It appears that little Miss Riana has cut her first tooth today! I wonder if that had anything to do with her not feeling well today! She has slept a lot and just been kind of pitiful and not her usually spunky self but she has been drooling a ton compared to lately!!! I really hope she feels better soon...all the way because we have a busy weekend ahead of us!

Boo

Well Riana did really well at her 6 month check up, she weighs 16 lbs 15 oz and was 25 and 1/4 inches long.  The doctor said she seems to be doing really well! The bad part was she got 4 shots including the flu shot and took some oral medicine.  She did really well doing this att the doctor but the next day I had to leave work early to go get her because she was not doing very well :( and now I am home from work with her today. 

 Getting my meds like a big girl

After the doctor I was happy

 The next day :(

On a side note Riana has just recently started doing this terribly sad thing when she wakes up in her crib and is ready to get up if we do not come fast enough....its so sad!!!!



It's been awhile....

There has been a lot going on around here so I havent had a lot of time to share.  Kim, Taylor and Joshua are here for Emily and Tyler's wedding, which is on Sunday.  They arrived last Wednesday and Riana, Josh and I went to get them at the airport.  We were excited to show off Riana and see them too! Justin will be coming this Friday!

Tomorrow Riana has her 6 month check up tomorrow, she is practically 6 and a half months old now.  I think she has surpassed the 17lb mark but I guess we will see tomorrow! I am sad that she will have to get more shots, it gets harder everytime because as she gets older I think it will affect her more.  She has done really great so far so I hope she continues in that way!  We keep waiting for her to cut some teeth but so far none have popped through that we can see.

She is eating stage 2 baby food and oatmeal now.  She loves it, we have not found anything she doesnt like besdies rice cereal.  Her first stage 2 food was mago smoothies and she really enjoyed them.  I even tasted them, they smelled so good! :)

I decided not to take Riana with us to Emily and Tyler's wedding even though I bought her a dress and everything before she was even here.  I just think she will be happier at home with Granna because she goes to bed early and I do not want to make her stay up just so we can have a good time, and lets just face it if shes sleepy we wont be able to really enjoy ourselves because although she is a GREAT baby when shes ready for bed shes ready! I will update tomorrow after the doctor appointment...until then!

Hey again...

Well we made it through the first week of daycare.  Riana seems to have adjusted and is doing well.  She does not sleep as much at daycare and with the her nanny as she does at home so some afternoons that makes for a very tired little girl! She was asleep at 6:30 tonight, could be a nap or could be all night guess we shall see!

I can NOT believe that Riana will be 6 months old on Friday how in the world did 6 months go by so quickly! I really miss being at home with her but am glad she is adjusted so well.  I know that in the coming months she will be doing lots of new things and I really hope I do not miss it all but I know even if I miss the first time she will do it again!

One of Riana's new favorite things to do is to drink water from a straw, if we have a bottle of water or something she knows what she needs to do with it but of course is not big enough yet! She is doing great at sitting up and really wants to sit up by herself but hasnt quite figured out how to get there.  When she lays on the floor to play she really tries to crawl but has not quite figured it out yet either. I cant wait for her to get there!

We are pretty excited about Kim, Taylor and Joshua flying in next Wednesday from Texas for Emily and  Tyler's wedding this month and then Justin will be here later on.  They havent seen Riana since she was a few weeks old other than on Skype so I know we will have lots of fun!!!

Having fun at Target with mom and dad, riding in the buggy like a big girl for the first time!
