Teething & necklaces.

It seems like Riley is always teething. She is constantly getting new teeth. So far she's up to twelve teeth, and two more just broke through. Her bottom gums are swelling a bit so that means two more will be following. Thankfully, those will be the last two until the 2-year old molars, which she'll probably get well before she's 2. Ha. I'm hoping that the teething will be over and done with by the time Beck gets here. Hoping!
Teething for Riley hasn't been that difficult. It usually lasts about a week, and really only at night. We've been really lucky. This time however, it seems that she's been teething during the day and at night. Yesterday morning for instance she spent about two hours crying on and off and laying on the floor stuffing blankets, toys and her paci into her mouth. I tried holding her and rocking her but that didn't help. When she finally calmed down I gave her my necklace to wear. That made her so happy! Leif doesn't like her playing with it because well it was $75, &he's scared she'll break it. I on the other hand don't mind because she's careful with it. Plus she looks so pretty in it :)

Riley's Jewelry.

If you know Leif and I, you know that our favorite place to shop is J. Crew. The day Riley could fit into their childrens clothes was an exciting day for us. Monterey doesn't have many of our favorite shops but thankfully there is a J. Crew! Sadly it only carries womens clothing... So we drive the 45 minutes to Gilroy to go to the outlet. Its always worth the drive. The last few times we've gone I asked Leif if I could buy Riley some of the kid jewelry, but he told me I was ridiculous, you don't put jewelry on a baby.
We went to the J. Crew outlet last night for fun & while Leif was paying I went outside with Riley so she could run around. When we got home Leif showed me the necklace and two bracelets he bought for Riley. I was just like "Seriously?" He told me they were just so pretty and she'd look cute in them. This morning he showed her and she was so happy! She loves wearing my necklaces and was excited to have her own. The bracelets amazed her and anytime they fell off she'd try to put them back on right away. Usually she couldn't so she'd hand them to daddy to put back on and bounce because she was so excited.

Someone is definitely a daddy's girl:)
