Wow, 10 months. How is that possible? Riley is so much fun. He still isn't officially crawling but that doesn't stop him from moving everywhere. It's a combination between rolling, army crawling on his belly and pushing up onto his hands and knees and then flopping forward. I've had to create a barricade in the office with luggage and toy bins to stop him from getting into mischief (see picture below). He goes straight under the desk and tries to grab the cords. I've tried moving him and distracting him with something else but he is not fooled. So the barricade became necessary. I'm sure it is only a matter of a day or 2 before he figures out how to break through. But I'm so lucky because he loves to play and entertain himself on the floor with his toys.
Other Riley milestones are that he can pull himself up on to his knees from a seated position and he can also stand by himself (for quite a while) while holding on to something. He has also been sleeping through the night for over a month now which has been great. Although I still wake up in the middle of the night and have to go to the bathroom, at least I get to crawl back in bed. Riley loves to eat and he is a great chewer which makes me feel better since choking is always in the back of my mind. He also manages to find the tiniest rock or whatever on the floor and picks it up. Luckily nothing has made it's way into his mouth but again, it's only a matter of time. I'm also realizing that I need to start cleaning more.He is always babbling and "singing". He also seems to understand a lot of what we say to him which is so cool. I can't wait for him to start talking and tell me what is going on in his little head. He loves to wave and he gets so excited when the dogs come to check him out. He usually starts giggling and squealing. Bella also has him trained at meal time to extend his hand in her direction so she can eat the food out of his hand. We're so excited for the milestones still to come!
