10 months old.....

In just 6 days from now, my tiny little man will be 10 months old! He has changed so much in the last few weeks. He can crawl all over the place and is now climbing on everything. He especially loves to climb up on the TV stand and touch the TV. I think he is trying to touch Elmo!!! We spent a lot of our day walking around. He is still holding on to my hands, but he is getting much stronger. I give it a few more weeks and he will be walking instead of crawling... Riley now has 4 teeth; he says "dada" and screams "mama". He did say "no, no, no" once and even attempted "ball" and "truck". He will shake his head when I say "no". He loves to eat. Avacado is still his favorite. He does not like Mango!! We just introduced Haddock . He seems to enjoy it very much. I am not a fan and just the smell makes me sick. He does play a little rough with his friends but that is expected at his age. I am keeping my fingers crossed that he will not be the one to cause them pain..hahahaha Here are a few pictures from June....

May

I have said it before; it is crazy how time flies. May has been an exciting month in the Buckle-Pineau home. May began with Riley turning 8 months old. He is learning so much. He can crawl laps around the apartment and is saying “Mama” and “Dada” more clearly now. He is still off wheat but we are soon going to slowly introduce it to him again. I certainly hope for his sake it is not a Gluten allergy. Both J and I celebrated our birthdays and I celebrated my first Mother’s Day. My first Mother's Day was very special. We went for brunch and spent family time together. Riley gave me a lovely journal. I had been keep a journal for him since he was born and I guess he (with help from daddy) decided I should have a nice one instead of the pieces of loose leaf I had been using. It was a beautiful gift!! Later in May, we traveled to Newfoundland for a friend’s wedding. Riley was an excellent travel companion, besides getting sick within the first 20 mins of the trip!

A day at the park

In about one week from now my little man will be 8 months old! He is growing so fast and developing an interesting personality. He can crawl now...we sorta. He has chosen to move around on his back, he can move on his front but it slows him down so he flips over and scoots around on his back. It has left a cute little bald patch on the back of his head. He has discovered how loud his voice can go and has choses to babble at the highest level at all times, even in public. He loves to giggle, especially at his daddy and we discovered he has a ticklish spot on his side that sends him into fits of laugther. For his 7 month photo, we decided to take him to the park for the first time. He got to sit in the swing and touch the grass. Here are a few.

Happy Easter

The Easter Bunny made an appearance at our home for Riley's 1st Easter. Here are a few pictures.

7 Months Old

I cannot believe that just over 7 months ago my little man was born. Time is just flying by. There was a point when I was praying for it to go fast, especially in the early days, but now I need it to slow down. He is getting so big and it won't be long before he is walking around. My tiny human weighs in at close to 24 lbs and over 28 inches tall! Yes he is the size of a toddler and he definately gets his height from his father! He has grown so much in the last few weeks and has been learning plenty of new things. He is not crawling yet, but getting close. Instead of crawling he has taken to rolling or scooting on his back. He can move from one end of the living room to the other in seconds. He is sitting up on his own, although he would rather be pulled into a standing position and can hold himself up while holding on to the couch. He loves to play with his books but would still rather eat them then have me read to him. Peek-A-Boo is his favorite game. He puts just about everything over his face and pulls it down and waits for your reaction. A new thing he has picked up is removing his socks and sucking on his toes (or his socks). He has also taken to throwing things out of his crib or off his high chair and gets a laugh when you pick them up for him. Riley absolutely loves to eat. Avacados and squash are still his favorite but the only thing he has refused to eat so far are cucumbers.

He has the best little personality and is pretty chill most days. He is very "chatty" most of the time and is working out his loud voice. The last few days have been filled with much screaming but in a playful way. However, it now means we get an even louder baby when he is unhappy. He can be heard saying...well screaming, mum mum mum ma when he is upset or can't reach a toy. Riley even has little friends that come and visit him and I think he actually enjoys it. It is cute watching them interact with each other. He has been invited to his first birthday party this weekend which is exciting. His brother turns 12 and is having a swimming party so Riley gets to go swimming for the first time. Its a good thing the Easter Bunny brought him new swim shorts. I write this as he is lying on the floor, feet up on a pillow and playing with a book. That boy is just to darn cute.

March and such...

I am very behind on my blog updates so here are a few pics. A Riley update will be posted soon!!
