Riley Anne a.k.a. Elmo Junkie

Our little Riley who never used to watch much on TV has become an Elmo Junkie. We have a couple of Elmo DVDs and she loves them and now she has realized that we can turn them on whenever we what. So, now when she comes into the family room she gets up on the couch, tries to grab the remote control and says "Mo, Mo". Mo is what she calls Elmo, or sometimes it comes out as Melmo; she can't quite get the El part out. It is quite funny, but not so funny last night when she had already watched Elmo a couple of times so we told her Elmo was sleeping, that he had gone night-night and she was not too happy about that. It is a little crazy!

Now to update on the doctor visits...I had my 16 week appointment on Friday. The baby had a nice strong heartbeat, but other than that nothing much to report. We have our 18 week ultrasound on May 1st, we are very excited to find out if the baby really is a boy or is the baby a little girl? Only a couple more weeks!! Riley had here 15 month checkup this morning and she is doing just fine. She is on the tiny side, but they are not too concerned...she eats ALL the time and no, I am not just saying that, she definitely does not skip any meals or snacks. So for now they want us to give her PediSure at night before she goes to bed to see if that will help her gain a bit more weight. Other than that she is growing fine, 50% for her height and 55% for her head (she has been right there since she was born). She had to get one shot and she handled it like a pro, she did not cry, actually she did not even make a whimper. We were so proud!!
