The Little Problem Solver


I wanted to sit down and read my books. There was a problem though. My chair was in front of the couch and my books were on the table behind the couch. So I took my chair and pushed it all of the way around the couch. I settled in right next to the books and starting reading. I'm a resourceful little girl!

My Growing Imagination


I'm getting a lot more creative in playing. Mommy and Daddy can see that I'm using my imagination more and more. I like to get into my dresser and take out the diaper changing pads. I carefully unfold them and lay them out on the floor like blankets.


Then I like to lay my baby dolls or stuffed animals on them. Or I curl up and pretend like I'm going to nap. Or sometimes I cover myself up and pretend like I'm in bed.

The Little Patient

This week I had to go to the hospital to get tubes in my ears. I had too many ear infections and the doctor wanted me to get tubes. The tubes will help my ears not get infected. The hospital people put them in while I was sleeping. They are sneaky! I also got to wear this silly robe. The robe didn't zip up in the back. I felt okay yesterday but I did get sick after breakfast this morning and threw up on Daddy. After that I felt a lot better. I'm all okay now.

My First Real Easter


Last year, I was just a baby so I didn't do very much for Easter. I just sat around and played with plastic eggs. This year I got to do a lot of stuff. Yesterday, I helped Mommy and Daddy color some eggs. The only part that I didn't like was that there was no candy in the eggs we colored. Why didn't Mommy put some candy in there? I was trying to lift my self up to watch the eggs better. This is my "straining" face.



We went to church and I got wear a nice dress. Uncle Tim and Aunt Cindy gave me this dress. Don't I look cute?




I must look cute, because everyone likes to take pictures with me!



My favorite part about Easter is looking for eggs. I found out that the Easter bunny comes to my house and hides our colored no-candy eggs. He even hides some plastic eggs with candy. That is what I like! I also looked for eggs at the tennis court and Gram and Poppy's house. That bunny sure likes to hide eggs. It is a lot of fun to look for them too!


The Easter bunny also gave me some presents! I got a big Magna-Doodle to go with the little one that I have. I got a new lunchbag. And I got some new bowls and plates too.

I learned a lot about Easter this year. I just want to know what happened to all the candy in the eggs last year. There was no candy when they let me play with the eggs. Where did all of the candy go? I think Daddy ate it. Well, this year I can keep an eye out for the candy myself. I hope that everyone had a Happy Easter.

Love, Riley.

Happy Easter!


I just wanted to say Happy Easter to everyone! I have had a pretty exciting Easter weekend that I will tell you about later. Enjoy your eggs and candy everybody!

Interview with a Toddler II

So here is another part of the video that Daddy took. I still wouldn't sit there and talk to him but he tricked me into saying some stuff. I just wanted to push my babies around in the stroller. You can also see my dog, "gig-gee" (Wrigley)in this video.

Interview with a Toddler

Daddy tried to get me to sit down for an interview to show people how much I'm talking now. He even put out my little chair. But did I sit still and talk to him? No way! I was too fired up after watching some TV. Plus there was a bottle of hand santizer. I really like that stuff. I just couldn't sit still and talk to him. (Daddy had to edit it for the highlights. He'll try to post more of if it later.)
