where she stops nobody knows!
New video of Miss Riley.
Video 1 - She's got walking in circles down in her walker/activity table. I think she's still in there wearing tracks in the carpet.
Video 2 - Just a sampling of her squawking. This is NOTHING!!! This is her indoor quite voice. She really does typically sound more like Andrew, see today's video at 2 Mommies and a Meatball. What I also love about this video is the kiss from Roxi. They have a love affair going and I hope and pray that we can help Roxi feel better and stay with us for many years to come. We meet with the Ortho surgeon next Friday. Oh, and notice the sexy shirt. I thought this was an adorable outfit from The Chil.drens Place. (I love their Yoga pants for babies.) Shelly thinks the lace makes it a little too grown up.

Our Conception Story
After eight years together we were pretty sure we'd spend our life with our four legged kids, doing lots of camping, and traveling the world. On August 12, 2004 that all changed with the birth of our God Daughter Tate. We immediately fell completely in love with her and soon began to re-think our decision of not having kids.
In October 2005 we began the process of trying to conceive. As soon as we started trying Shelly began having very erratic cycles which made the process that more complicated. After four tries over six months we decided to schedule a consultation with the a Reproductive Specialist. We were desperate to conceive and on a limited time frame since Shelly had just turned 41. Dee was 35 at the time but not able to conceive due to a medical procedure.
Our first appointment with the Repro Man was May 2006. He suggested we try IVF using Dee's eggs and Shelly as the gestational mother. He felt this scenario would give us the highest chance for success of a healthy pregnancy. We spent a short amount of time weighing our options and decided this was the best choice. We began our first IVF cycle in August. They did the Egg Retrieval and Fertilization on 8/31. Three days later, 9/3, they transferred three embryos into Shelly. Then the wait began.
Shelly promised not to begin the home pregnancy test too soon. Dee had to travel out of state for business a week after the transfer and asked Shelly to please wait to test. BUT, the wait was too much for her and she started testing after a week. At first there was no line. But after a couple of days testing a faint line started to appear. When Dee came home from her trip Shelly told her, "I know I'm pregnant." Dee didn't believe her and insisted the line wasn't dark enough so she tested herself to compare. There was absolutely no line. She began to believe Shelly was pregnant but still had doubt. Dee went to the store and bought another brand of testing strips. After five home tests, we were convinced we we're pregnant due to all positive results. A blood test at two weeks confirmed it; we were going to have a baby!

I have NEVER seen a walker like that.....really cute and safe she can't really go anywhere
She is awesome!!!! and getting so freaken big. There are some faces she did in the second one that reminds us of our Riley!!! We need to get these babies together.
I see Angele posted under my name earlier... :P
LOVE the video. It's so great to see Miss Riley in action. That toy is super cool too--never seen it around here. I think all of our kids are loud. It's too funny.
I love chattering babies!! I'm sure she does do it louder - Andrew is testing his range at this exact moment.
She's getting so big! Where did the time go?!?!
And I LOVE the walker! That thing is very cool.
Love that walker... that is pretty neat! Thanks for sharing the videos!
Love the videos! She is such a doll!
How cute! That's not loud, though. My son's squawks could fell giant Sequoias.
I had one of those rolling walker things when I was a kid. In those days they weren't anchored to a table. I was free to roll all over the house. I fell down the stairs in it TWICE!
Parents in those days had a laissez faire attitude toward child safety. I have many interesting scars to show for it.
