Swimming!!!

We went swimming last night with Amber and Macy! Riana really loves taking a bath so I figured she would like getting in the pool too and I was right! It was an interesting night, I told Amber there was no telling how it would go because Riana goes to bed at 8 and if were not getting ready or in the process she gets fussy. Well when we first got to Ambers moms house they have a little dog and it was scared of us and was barking and woke Riana up, she has never been around a barking dog so it got her all out of shorts and she was crying. It had been awhile since she had eaten so I tried to feed her to calm her down but she couldnt focus. We finally put on our bathing suits and she was happy ready to swim. We got to the pool and tried out the water, which felt like bath water! She liked her float but after we did that for a bit I took her out and just held her and she started splashing in the water, she was splashing so big she was soaking herself but she didnt mind at all, after awhile Macy started splashing back at her and it wa like they were having a splash fight it was cute! Then 8 o'clock rolled around and Riana was so tired and hungry I couldnt console her and we had to go home :( next time we will have to go swimming earlier!

Riana's new bib from her special friend Zoe!

Peas!

Riana's doctor said that she could start eating vegetables at 5 months which will be August 9th but since she was 20 weeks yesterday we decided to give them a try today so Riana could get used to them with me before she has to start staying with Alisa and at daycare :( but I dont really want to feed her yet I dont want to give up her and me time lol!

It was a success she really seemed to enjoy her peas, I was proud of her! I have pictures and video so we could share it with daddy when he gets home from work!

Sleeping....

Riana has always been a good sleeper, we got lucky in that department so far but last night she slept from 9 until 7:10 this morning! That is the longest she has ever slept without waking up, she ate at when she woke up and went right back to sleep and is still sleeping now at 9:40 lol! She usually will sleep 6 or 8 hours or so before waking up and lately she has started going to bed really early, around 8 so she usually wakes up any time between 2 and 4 and then sleeps until 8 or 9.

It is also funny because people have always told me that once the babies start eating cereal they usually sleep longer and from our experience when she hate eaten cereal she doesnt sleep as long and the past two nights I didnt give it to her and she slept longer lol, another one of those wise tales that is not always true for everyone!

Riana at nap time yesterday!

It is amazing to see how good Riana has gotten at using her hands! She picks things up now and moves them and plays with her toys I just love watching her learn

Success...

Well it appears that the brand of cereal we have is just nasty! ha! We went to visit Amber and Macy yesterday and she let us try hers and Riana did way better and we brought a pack home and tried it again tonight and she still liked it and I even tasted it and it was a million times better than the kind we have, who would have thought!

I am sending a test post from my phone to see if it works, we just tried the cereal with juice and it was the most successful attempt so far ;)
