18 month checkup

Riley went for her 18 month check up this past week. After waiting for 2 1/2 hours he said everything looked great. She weighs 21 lb and 11 oz and is 31 inches. That is about the 10% for weight and 15% for length. Thankfully she didn't have to get any shots this time. One of the questions Dr. Watson asked was how many words she can say- so that got me to thinking and here is the list- mommy, daddy, Ra-Ra (Raider), puppy, out, milk, ball, wubbie, baby, car, more, bye-bye, hi, help, thank you, please, done, night-night, shoe, and poopy.
Riley is everywhere, into everything! She has started to climb up on everything. If you turn around for 2 seconds she has climbed up on the couch or kitchen chairs. And as soon as she has gotten up then she wants down. She is also very insistant on feeding herself. Overall she does a pretty good job. The biggest problem is getting the food on the spoon. Sometimes she will let me put the food on the spoon and then let her take it and put it in her mouth. She opens up all the drawers and cabinets and want to take everything out. She knows which cabinets have child proof and she knows how to open it. So much for that... She takes our clothes off the hangers in the closet. She thinks it is funny when we honk the horn on the car. She makes this face like "ooooh" and says car (which sounds like caa)

Wubbie has a baa-boo

Last week Riley fell and scraped her knee. I told her she had a boo-boo, but she is calling it her baa-boo. You can ask her where her baa-boo is and she will point to her knee.
Well, over the Labor Day weekend, she literally chewed up the end of both of her wubbanubs. So we decided instead of buying another one that she would probably chew up again, that we will wean her off of the wubbie. So now wubbie has its own baa-boo. She has done a lot better than we expected her to do without it. She is going to sleep and night and for her naps with no problems. But during the day she has had a rough couple of days without it. She has started to do a lot better yesterday and today.

Here are some recent pictures. Riley is not going to go to the Tech football games this year :( She is just too all over the place and it really wouldn't be fair to her. But she is dressed in style anyways! We bought her some croc shoes and she loves them. She can say "shoo". She tries to put them on herself and gets so frustrated when they don't go on. The funniest is when she puts them on the wrong feet.
