Ahhhhh

Riley is loving him some water these days & really loves to drink it out of our big glasses. He actually prefers them over his sippy cup which, as you can imagine, creates quite the mess! My mom has taught him to say "Ahhhh" after he takes a sip & now he does it constantly. It doesn't even matter if he is choking, he still tries to say it! My child seriously cracks me up these days! I wanted to share a video of him doing this with y'all.

Please ignore my super high pitched voice. I tend to talk to him at least 2 octaves higher than normal sometimes. :0)
Also, here is just a few more new things that Riley is doing now:



*WALKING!!!! He took 9 steps to me last night! We got it on video, but it's on my other video camera that I can't figure out how to upload videos from (you have to install some program or something...I don't know).
*Feeds his cracker or whatever he is eating to us. I'm hoping this means he will like to share once he understands that concept. Crossing my fingers anyway. Here he is trying to feed my sister some flowers that he picked off of that hanging plant. ;0)

*Points at things to let us know exactly what he wants. A couple days ago he got into the cabinet where we keep his Baby Einstein DVDs, grabbed one, drug it with him as he crawled over to me,
then turned & pointed at the TV. True story.

*Leading off of that last point, he recently started bringing random things to us also. I guess he is showing us his treasures he finds.
*He recently discovered the moon, well not literally, I guess noticed would be a better choice of words there! Anyway it is so cute because he points at it & tries to grab it out of the sky.

Oh how I love my little man!

  5. cutee!!! Aiden does the same when he eats or drinks anything he like but his word is- "Ummmm". Oh and your answer to your question you asked on my blog- this was Aiden's 2nd beach trip, we took him last year and by far this year was wayyy more fun! Riley will love it when ya'll go in Sept. Aiden was hesitant at first of the water and sand but loved it after about 30 minutes.
