Spring/Easter 2010

I can't believe my little guy is 15 months old already. He has changed so much since he turned one. He can say some words clearly and then some are not so clear, but we know what they are. At the moment, we are going through another bout of teething. We have 4 teeth coming in! He has gotten a little temperamental in the last few weeks. I don't know where he gets that from! Okay, so he comes by it honest from Momma and Daddy.

His latest trick is dropping his mouth open and acting surprised. Riley is also a little dancing machine. He breaks out in a dance when he hears music or a cell phone going off. We can ask him where something is and if he doesn't know, he just throws his hands up in the air.

My favorite time of day with Riley is at night. He and I read a book and drink milk before bed. He is so sweet. He just lays in my lap and listens to me read. When I'm finished he usually flips back through some of the pages and points at things, which I tell them what they are. He jabbers when he does it so I think in his little way he is trying to read to Momma. It really is cute. Now that the weather is nice, I cannot seem to keep him inside. He wants outside 24/7. Also in the last month, he has went from two naps a day to only one. There are some days when he just gets to tuckered out that he slips a small second nap in.

He amazes me every single day. I can't believe how smart children can be. I had bought this outfit for Riley and told him we had to put it in his room. He took the outfit and went straight to hang it up. You just don't realize how much attention they pay to you when you are talking and doing stuff. I can't wait for it to really warm up and take Riley swimming. He LOVES the water. I think if you gave him a bucket of water, he would play for hours.

Here are some things that Riley says:
Momma

Dadda

Tat (Cat)

Tow (Cow)

Mmooo

Duck

Dah (dog)

No

Ooohh

Bye bye

Dat (that)

Dis (this)

Huh?
