Merry Christmas!

Riley has been so much fun to watch. Lately she is learning to rollover from her belly to her back. Its not always on purpose but she enjoys it. She will get really fussy on her tummy and she will start to squirm and squirm until she flips over, then she is happy as can be. Right now Casey is telling her that if she turns over again he will pick her up...I don't think she gets it yet.
She kicks a mile a minute. When she is one her back she will kick and kick, its like she is riding her bike. At the hospital they would play bicycle with her legs to help her get strong, so I think that she kind of picked up that motion from there. I told Casey that if we layed on the floor and kicked as much as she does we would loose weight like crazy.
She is such a talker..She will be on the floor or in your arms and she will start to babble at you. She makes the cutest noises now. You can tell that she is trying to talk. The other day she looked right at Casey and yelled at him, then stopped. It was like she was trying to get his attention then after she did she was content.
Riley loves to suck on her hand. When she gets up in the morning or when she is content she will suck on her hand. When she gets tired of that she will wail at you to tell you that she is hungry.
We are house sitting for Caseys parents this week and Riley has really enjoyed it as well as us. She has been sleeping like crazy and loves to look at all of the lights.
We also went to go see Jerold this last week. It was really fun, I think he held her most of the time we were there. Riley loves Jerold so its really fun to see her so content with him and him content holding her.
We hope that everyone has a great Christmas and New Years, and thank you thank you for all everyone has done for us!
