Our Saturday

It seems as thought Svea is doing something new every day, it just amazes us.  I forgot to mention a couple of posts ago that she's learned how to high five.  If you say high five and put your hand out she'll raise hers up and meet yours every time. Today while we were talking to Grandma Kathy Svea showed Grandma how she says "baby" and then we  told her to hug her baby and she did.  Grandma, I bet you didn't realize she's NEVER done that before and you got to see it for the first time! She also signed "more" for me while we were eating lunch!  She didn't do it at dinner, but I'm sure it'll just be a matter of time before she's doing it all of the time.

 We've had a busy day of playing!  Dan is working on the bathroom still (it's going to be so awesome when it's all done!) so Svea and I hung out in her room all day in between naps, walks with the dog, and skyping with Grandma and Grandpa Dornfeld.  Speaking of Riker, he's doing ok.  He's still got the balance, head tilting, and droopy face thing going on, but he's either compensating for them, or he's a bit better.  He's just not falling over randomly anymore.

 As you can see I was able to finagle a little bow on this little one's head today without her tugging it away.  It lasted a whole 20 minutes before she figured it out:) Plenty of time for a picture:) If you look closely you can tell where she's got a wet chin and shirt from the constant drooling she did today.  Seriously, no one ever told me that your child will show teething signs for 7 months, but still no teeth in sight?  It's ok with me, it's just a mystery when on will ever show up:)

I love this picture of these two.  Blogger wouldn't let me turn the picture for some reason, but this is the "boys" hanging out in Riker's area in the kitchen.  Meeko is sitting in front of his "kitty door" and could walk through, but he chooses to meander to the back corner to hang out with Riker from time to time.  That, or he is foraging for left over dog food:)  On our walk tonight two random people commented on what a beautiful dog he is. Interesting...I know he's beautiful, but he doesn't usually get two compliments in one night....lucky dog:)
