lately i've been quite nostalgic and emotional (pregnancy hormones) over the fact that my baby is truly growing up. she is pushing 2 1/2 years and acting more and more grown up each day. oh wait, except when she screams and tantrums in public, but we can't expect perfection! anyway, i'm trying to record some of her quirky/strange/toddler behavior so i don't forget her little personality at this stage.
riley, her friend elizabeth and their baby and bear having a party on the potty. they were literally in the bathroom for 15 minutes just singing and talking. it was hilarious.
taking her cement bunny for a stroll on her trike, which she now calls her motorcycle
dancing with the most obnoxious bunny that a family friend sent us last year. it sings and hops and riley loves it
if you look closely you will see riley's "worm" that she found at the park one day. for several days she carried this plate with her wherever we went, put it next to her bed, talked to it, etc
since getting a new camera i've let riley use my old digital camera and she has become quite the photographer. and yes, she's wearing a wetsuit which happens to be one of her most favorite things to wear.
i brought out my old-school strawberry shortcake sleeping bag and riley had a ball playing with it. she told me "take a picture of me and darcy sleeping"
hiding in the sleeping bag with darcy, singing and talking
darcy and riley, very best friends indeed! she will often interrupt me and say, "oh mom, i hear darcy crying, just a minute". she'll run to get darcy then i'll watch her pat darcy's back while saying, "it's ok, it's ok".
oh, and don't forget the princess band-aid that she now has to wear on a mysterious "owie" on her arm (thanks a lot annika for starting this love of all things princess!!!)
and last but not least, today, riley was suppose to be napping, but an easter basket filled with stickers was within arms reach of the crib and just too tempting. this is what her bed looked like once i went in there to tell her to go to sleep.
the blessing/curse is, about 90% of everything riley does is just so funny i can never get mad...
