9 months old

February 15th, 2010 Riley turned 9 months old. We went to the doctors for her check up and everything is good as usual. She weighs 19.4 pounds and 28 inches long. She is still in the 75% for both which is good. She also got her second H1N1 shot at this visit. It was the only shot she got. She goes back for her 1 year check up in 3 months and then she will be getting a couple of shots.

Riley has been trying different foods lately. She seems to like pretty much everything. She really seems to like pasta. Adam gave her a powdered doughnut and of course she loved it. She has also been given chocolate pudding which I'm thinking must be her all time favorite!! She is still getting 4 bottles a day at 8 oz. each. She is also getting 2 jars a day too. She drinks out of her sippy cup every time she gets jar food. She has been going down at night around 9:30ish and waking at 8am. She also takes 3 naps a day at 1 hour each.

It has been snowing here and finally the other day I decided to take Riley outside in it. It was her first time in the snow and she did like it. She was smiling and really liking it. It was very bright out and the wind was blowing the snow everywhere. At least she enjoyed it. She barely made a dent in the snow. When we came inside she decided to pick up the tiny snow pieces that fell off our clothing and eat them.

Riley has been moving and grooving all around the house. She is EVERYWHERE!!! Soon enough she will be walking. She loves her walker and the lion she walks behind. She is always crawling into the bedrooms, bathrooms and the kitchen. Defiantly have to keep our eyes on her. She has started to wave again. We stay "Hi" and wave and "Bye" and wave but we don't know if she truly understands yet. She likes to wave at anything and everything. She has been saying "da da" and "ma ma" here and there. Not sure on this one either if she really knows what she is saying. Sometimes she calls me dada and Adam mama.
