A visit with Nana

On Thursday the 14th, Riles was super excited to welcome her Nana to NY! The airline unfortunately made her wait a bit longer than planned, but at last Nana was here! The next day Riley got to stay home with Nana while Mom worked, and afterwards they walked to Y Not to get some lunch. Later on, Nana treated Riles, Mom and Dad to some yummy dinner at Chow, and then they headed home for some playtime. On Saturday Riles got some more quality time with Nana during the day while Mom went out for her friend's birthday. They walked to the park with Ski, and Riles really enjoyed the swings. Sunday it was time to say goodbye (actually, see you later - Dec 5th!) to Nana, and unfortunately the airline played their little trick again and Nana ended up hanging out at the airport much longer than she wanted to.

The following week, Riles went to the doctor for a follow-up for her ear infection, and he confirmed both ears are all clear! Thursday she met Dad for lunch and then headed to Nene and Papa's for a play date and afternoon nap while Mom did some shopping. Then that night, Riles made history as she slept from 8pm to 5:15am straight!! The next day was Thanksgiving lunch at her school, and Mom and Dad came to hang with Riley and her friends for a bit. She gave us the picture of a turkey she had made too! After lunch, Riley wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather so she went home to get Ski and they walked to the school playground. While Ski did what she does best (sunbathing!), Riles climbed up the steps and through the tunnel, went down the slide, and joined Mom on the swings. She wrapped up that week with dinner with Joey and Leah, and afterward checked out the grand illumination parade in downtown Norfolk! The weather held out pretty nicely, and Riles really enjoyed watching and clapping along with all the sights and sounds.

The following Wednesday, Mom and Dad took Riles to the indoor pool at the Y to get out of the cold and do some swimming. Riles was a natural, kicking her feet and having fun splashing Mom and Dad. It's also worth noting that since that first full night's sleep, Riles has done it 2-3 more times as well. Her top teeth are starting to come in which is probably not helping matters. Though it's not yet consistent, we are very happy to see this moving in the right direction!
