Riley has had an amazing first year...she has grown into this little person and it is amazing to look back and see how quickly it all happened.
One year ago today, we were waking at odd hours of the night, trying to keep the dogs from eating the oh so precious green "binkies" from the hospital, eating only "white/brown" foods to prevent crying episodes from gas, boiling bottles to keep them "sanitized" and reading every book known to man about how to raise a baby. Today we are finally sleeping through the night (still waking quite early- 6am), tying to keep the dogs from sticking their tounge in Riley's mouth, learning how different foods change the texture, color and stank of human poop (its so gross!), using the 10 second rule for anything that hits the ground to avoid cleaning, cleaning and re-cleaning baby items that are ending up in hands that have been touching the ground all day long and using sign language as our secondary language so Riley can start telling us what she wants and needs.
Riley is such a beautiful child and we are very blessed to have her as ours...she is pretty stinkin amazing!
Here we go...standing, walking, stumbling, crying...it is quite a learning process. Each and every day she gets better and better!
