Pops and Mimi visit

Riley is still enjoying swimming lessons. She is really doing well now. She even puts her face in the water and doesn't get upset.

This week she has started sharing her wubbanub with her baby dolls and trying to give them her juice. Her word of the week this week is baby. Baby, baby, baby.

Pops and Mimi visited us this weekend. We enjoyed cooking out Saturday night and planning their upcoming trip to Europe. They are going in July to a lot of the same places we went to. It hard to believe that's already almost been 2 years ago. Riley was the star of the show all weekend. She likes being the center of attention. Watch Riley in the video below. When she kisses the baby, she kisses so hard she crosses her eyes.

Mother's Day

Watching Raider outside

Mother's Day 2008

We had a very nice mother's day. Rhett and I went out to eat for a nice dinner. Riley even handed me her mother's day card!

Riley is doing better at swimming class. Thursday night she whimpered for the first few minutes then she was like a little fish. Recently her new word is "uh-uh". You can ask her any question and she responds with uh-uh. Do you want milk, do you want to go to bed, do you love me, do you want to go swimming- all answered with uh-uh.

She can say dada, mama, uh-uh, hi, bye bye, uh-oh, a modified version of thank you (like - ank u). She does the sign language for more and all done. She waves good bye and hello and sometimes for no reason.

Riley is now standing up for a few seconds by herself. She will walk with her lion walker as far as she can go before running into something. We also started a mommy & me swim class. Last night was our first night. Riley was scared and cried for the first 10 minutes or so. Then she started splashing water and throwing a little ball. By the end she was just getting warmed up. She learned how to float (with me holding her) and kick her legs. We also went to the lake this past weekend. Grandma and Grandpa got a new jet ski, so we went and tried it out. Riley has a little blow up pool that she swam in while we were there.
