Ski ski, my BFF

Since London, we've been settling back into a normal routine. Riles has been especially happy to be back around her Ski Ski! Those two love being around each other. Riles of course is always trying to grab Ski's ears or eyes or tail, but in return she gets plenty of licks in the face. Riles will typically let out a big squeal whenever Ski is around. At night or naptime, Ski is always there in the nursery helping us put Riley to sleep. This past week, Riles had her 9 month doctor's appointment which went great as usual, and Dr. Fred said how impressed he was with what she already knows how to do.

Riley got to spend a couple hours with her good friends Leah and Joey while Mom and Dad went to an open house. She had a great time over there, getting all messy during dinner and getting a little freaked out by their very hyper dog Clipper. :-) When all was said and done, they both said they can't wait to have her over again sometime. The next weekend, Riles stayed home with a babysitter all day while Mom and Dad joined the Kletz's, Hobbs, Davy, Michelle, Leah & Joey for Wine Fest. She and Ski got to take a walk to the park, and Riles went on the swings. We think she didn't even know we were gone! Finally, on Sunday she had Nene, Papa, Josh, Michelle, Gigi, Colton and Levi over to watch the Steelers victory over the Ravens. She had quite a few laughs chasing her crazy cousins all around the house.
