So, after Riley rolled a few times, he didn't do it again. Ian stayed home August 17th and we were sitting on the floor with the babies, trying to encourage Riley to roll when all of the sudden, Addison rolled! Riley never did roll that day but Addison has been rolling ever since. As a matter of fact, when you lay him down, he rolls within minutes and he pushes himself up. He's not crawling yet but he has got up on his hands and knees a few times. He does roll around the room and kind of pushes himself with his feet. I don't want to call it crawling, but he gets around without help. He's also starting to sit in a tripod again! As he's pushing himself up, his arms are getting stronger and he can sit and prop himself up with his arms. He can actually stay there fora minute or two. He's eating a lot of food, often finishing a 4oz. jar. He loves his apples and pears. He's babbling a lot and making lots of sounds. He has his favorite toy and will fight Riley for it.
Riley eventually did start rolling and he rolls around the floor even more than Addison. He's starting to push himself up more and more and I can tell he just wants to go. He loves his food! He eats lots of baby food (anything except peas) and we've started again with infant cereal because we have so much of it. About a week after Riley got his bottom two teeth, I noticed a big white bump on his upper gum where the tooth in between his front tooth and canine tooth would be. I started to get worried and then the next day, a tooth popped through. He hasn't got his front top teeth yet but he has his one little top tooth now.
You can't see his teeth in this picture because they were still barely through but I love this picture of him. He smiles and laughs all of the time.
