Bats Game

This weekend we also went to a baseball game with Bats [Daddy note: Louisville's minor league baseball team, The Bats]. The baseball game was fun and I liked clapping and dancing to the music. My favorite part about the game was there was a doggie that went on the field to pick up the bats for the players. I got to pet him later. His name is Jake the Diamond Dog. He is soft.

They also have a merry-go-round. I went with Mommy and Grandpa. Daddy stood outside to take a picture. It was fun. You get to up and down on a horsie (I know what horsies say, they say "neeeeiggghhh"). And you go real fast in a circle. Here is the first picture that Daddy tried to take.


Too slow, Daddy! You can hardly even see me!

That is better. Daddy was quicker taking this picture.

Summer Is Here!

Check out my new toy! It has a sandbox and it has also has a side where you can play with water. It is pretty exciting. Mommy and Daddy got it for me this weekend. Daddy and Grandpa put it together and I got to play in it and got all wet! I think that I will have to wear my bathing suit next time I play.


Look at Wrigley! He found a cool spot in the shade.

Little People

Mommy just bought me some more Little People toys. I have a whole town with a school, store, and a street that goes in a circle. There are a lot of people in the town. I have a bus and a car for people to drive. I also have a barn and Noah's Arc with a bunch of animals. It is fun to play with all of the people and the animals.

Daddy was helping me play with the Little People house.

Hello? Who is at the front door? Oh, it's Mommy with the camera!

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.
