Beware..Naked Baby Ahead!

Yes...this is Riley, every night before bed. I was serious when I said she must have a secret stash of redbull that she drinks...

Here she is running from me, she doesn't want to put on her lotion or diaper...

The other night she found a Trader Joes paperbag and put it on her head; she walked around the house cracking up becasue she couldn't see anything and kept running into stuff. Ever since that night, everything that she can balance goes on her head, the vegetable strainer is no exception...

Her belly is soooo big, Cody and I were dying laughing when we noticed how big it was, it looks like a tumor. Cody asked if we should get her checked out :) The angle of this picture doesn't give her belly much justice but cute none the less...

Backyard Fun!!

Riley LOVES to play outside! While we acknowledge that every 15 month old has quite a bit of energy (at least more than their parents)...we truly think that Riley has ten times more energy than any child we have met. It is a constant go, go, go! People who don't see her often ask if she is always on the move, the answer is Yes! Riley is either full of energy or sleeping, there is no in between. Literally before she goes to bed she is running around like she just drank a Red Bull. (see the next blog- Naked Riley)..we have to convince her that it is time to go to sleep. Once we convince her of such, we take her in her room, give her a bottle and read her a bead time book (One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss...her fav this month), before the book is over, she pushes away the bottle and the book, reaches out to give us a kiss and then waves us goodbye...within seconds she is sleeping :)

On this adventure in the Rounds' backyard, Riley discovered the hose and as she does with everything, she put it in her mouth and started walking around.

One of her favorite things to play in (well, for about 15 seconds and then boredom sets in and she wants to explore something else)...the backyard swing!

Do you think she has an attitude?

And then there is the hammock...while Riley is very busy, she is also very caring and thoughtful...here she is taking a break with her baby doll Sophie. She loves to giver her dolls hugs and kisses! Notice her arm around the doll :)

Happy Valentines Day!

Riley got all dressed up for Valentine's Day...we went shopping at Nordstrom's for new mattresses and then had lunch at the Vig with Grandma and Uncle Pat (dad was working)...Valentine's day is also Uncle Pat's B-day. By the end of the day, Riley had so many holes in her stockings, we had to throw them away and the hair bows...somewhere on the floor of Scottsdale Fashion Square!
