6 Months

Riis is 6 months and 1 day today.

I brought her to summer school for the day and she loved it! She crawled from one end of the blanket to the other and all of the kids loved her. She loved all of the attention and big smiles from her new friends. She stayed with me from 7:30-12:30pm and was so great!

We went to the doctor for Riis' check up today. She is 16lbs 10 oz, 27 1/4in. long. She had to get to shots. She cried for 3 seconds for the first shot and 3 seconds for the second shot. By the time I picked her up off of the table she was smiling at the nurse saying, "I still love you!" What a happy wonderful baby girl :)

We were given the go ahead for big girl food. I steamed string beans and blended them tonight.Tom took a video as I fed Riis. She did not love the new taste, but did her best to finish the bowl. In 5 days we try sweet potatoes!!!!

On the move...

June 11, 2011 A Pool Day

We had our first really good experience at a pool yesterday.
Mary Kate left us the keys to her new house at Ko Olina and we had a little "staycation."
We brought a float for Riis, some burgers, and drinks.
Riis loved the pool! Her daddy made her laugh by blowing bubbles underwater and mommy kept slathering on the 50 SPF. What a great day!

A beautiful place for a "staycation"

Dry and still happy.

Almost 6 months

It has been a long time since I was able to get back to the blog. 

Little Miss Riis keeps me on my toes. 

She is rolling over and over and over.

She is up on her knees rocking back and forth really fast, 

days away from crawling.

She is sitting up on her own for long amounts of time. 

She is able to escape from from her Bumbo.

Summer is treating us well. 

We have a kiddie pool where Mommy and Riis play in the water. 

Riis has been spending quality time with her Aunties while I am at summer school from 8-12.

Here are some videos:

5 and half month videos

These are videos we took this month. The first is Riis in her bouncer. She loves this thing! The second is of her laughing at Tine bouncing a ball at Kate's shower.

Happy 5 Months Riis Elizabeth!

Time flies when you are having fun! We cannot believe Riis is 5 months already. She can roll over, wiggle out of her Bombo, laugh, giggle, kiss herself in the mirror, and make her mommy and daddy soooo happy.

5 months means Riis can start decorating her own signs.

Riis' First Day at the Pool

Last weekend we went up to the North Shore to watch Kate finish the North Shore Marathon. We got to see her cross the finish line. Go Kate! Riis and I drove Kate back to her hotel, Turtle Bay, and took a dip in the pool.
Riis was like Goldielocks. 

The first pool (adult pool) was too cold, the kiddie pool was to splashy, and the third pool was a hot tub, so I did not even put her feet in. A good first time. It was short, but good. At least she had a cute outfit on :)
