11 month update!

AHHHHHH! I can't believe Ri is almost a year old. I feel like she is changing more and more every minute and learning new things every second! She is at such a fun age, it makes me want to have a thousand more of her. Then she wakes up screaming at 2 in the morning and I instantly retract my previous thought. Okay here we go:


Ri baby's likes:

• French fries & ranch (her latest obsession)
• Chasing her cousins around- They pretend she's a "monster" and run away from her. She just chases them back and forth hoping they will play with her and it's so cute/sad
• Ketchup
• Macoroni & cheese dinners
• Playing with cords or ANYTHING she's not supposed to
• Stealing Daisy's babies. And then crying when Daisy takes them back. Bad Daisy. :)
• Singing- it's seriously the cutest thing I've ever heard. If you sing to her, she will hum back at you.
• Swinging at the park
• Being outside
• Hanging out upside down
• Going on walks in her stroller or chillin in shopping carts

Ri baby's dislikes:

• Her number one, all-time, life-ending dislike is getting her diaper changed. Truly the worth thing ever. I DREAD changing her diaper every single day.
• Getting dressed/undressed.
• Being left alone.
• Being told "No!" She will burst into tears.
• Getting her nose wiped
• Taking naps

Ri baby's accomplishments:

• Being a speed demon crawler
• Pulling herself up into a standing position- She's only down this a few times and every time, I get so excited that I scare her and she loses her balance. Haha
• Feeding herself! This sounds silly, but for the longest time, she would just crunch up and smash any food she picked up. I would try to guide her hand into her mouth but she would freak out and jerk her arm away.
• Clapping! She's obsessed.
• Waving "bye bye". She is pretty inconsistent with this but it's soooo cute when she does it.
• Smoothly transitioning into a rear-facing big girl car seat. She looooves it.
• Being an overall badass baby.
