Talking, Walking and Wearing Shoes....

"Hi" has turned out to be Riley's first word.  It is precious and is accompanied by the most enthusiastic wave and smile.  She's nearly 11 months old and spends the majority of her time running around in her walker.  We've even had to get her some shoes with rubber soles so she can take her little party outside.   This weekend we were working in the yard and found Riley chasing her shadow around the sidewalk.  It is hard to believe she's going to be ONE in just a month or so.   

Here is the "Hhhhiiiiii" and the wave... 

My favorite thing is when she hears me come home

 and runs all the way to me with this grin!!!

She was so fascinated by her new friend, aka "Shadow".  

She followed "her" around for at least 30 minutes. 

Check out those rolls.... 

It really threw her off when "she" switched sides... :)

Her new shoes.... and slender legs!  :) 

Worn out, smelly and hot......
