It breaks my heart...he's growing up so fast. Pretty soon, I'll be sending him off to school. Here's an update on my little "heartbreaker": * Riley loves to give kisses, or as we say in the South, "Sugars". He will latch on to your face and not let go! They are very slobbery kisses, which make them all the better.
* Riley has fell in love with a walker at daycare. It's a Graco Tot Wheels and has a spaceship theme. It's the only one he wants. Of course, they don't make this certain one anymore, so I've been ebaying like crazy. I have to get this walker. The ladies at daycare put him in it in the morning, and when they try to take him out, he fights them. Yes, I said fights them. He comes home with black socks (they start out white) from "walking" around all day in this walker...inside and outside. It makes lots of cute noises...one of them being a "beep beep beep" when he goes backwards.
* Riley is crawling. I have to be extra special watchful of him because he has a new BFF, Jester Jingles (pic below). Yes, that's Draik's orange cat. Luckily, Jester has been very understanding of Riley. But poor Riley doesn't understand that Jester does not like to be put in a headlock and given "Sugars". Riley would pin down Jester and suck on him all day if we'd let him. I find it quite disgusting- Adam, though, finds it cute.
* Riley is also starting to pull up...on the couch, on the chair...but he's real bad to reach out and grab the first thing he can latch on to...which is usually Jester Jingles.
* Riley "sleeps" through the night. He's actually very good. And when he does wake up, it's usually just to play. Last night, he slept with Adam and I...and he would wake up and crawl down to the end of the bed and lay down. I was afraid one of us would kick Riley, so I would pick him up and bring him back up to our end. Riley would lay down on his tummy and gaze up and smile at me. I would get into a good sleep and Riley would jump up and go back down to the foot of the bed! This happened several times. I hope it doesn't become a habit.
* Riley's Phe levels are still extremely low...below 1%. They have been this way for over 3 months now. We are hoping on a mild case of PKU. We should know more in a couple of weeks when his genetic testing comes back. He is eating wonderfully...he is allowed so much Phe that I could probably give him a steak! He loves green beans, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese with vegetables and oatmeal cereal with bananas.
* Riley still loves his horsey bouncy. As a matter of fact, he sometimes bounces in it for so long, he exhausts himself and falls asleep in it (below).
