About Me at 2 Years


Since I just turned two years old, Daddy thinks it is a good time to write down some stuff about me.

I'm a very good big sister. I'm always worried about the baby. I like to hug and kiss her. I also like to push the swing when she is in there and watch her get baths. I'm start to saying her full name better..."u-see-on-a".


My favorite food is macaroni & cheese but I just call it "cheese". I love to use lots of "dip" when I'm eating (Daddy note: dip is ketchup, sour cream, salsa, etc.). Mommy says I get that from her.

I am very good at knowing my animals and animal sounds. I know about cows, pigs, elephants, ducks, birds, and chicks. Cows used to be my favorite animals but now it is probably monkeys. I can do a lot animals sounds. Did you know that owls say "who, who" and horsies say "neigh, neigh"?

I can say all of my basic colors but I'm still learning how to match them up. I used to count "one, two, nine" but I've started saying "one, two, tree" recently.

My favorite show on TV is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Although when I say it sounds more like "Ickey Tub-ouse" but Mommy & Daddy know what I'm saying and that is all that matters. I do know all of the characters on the show: Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy and Goofy.


I really like to read books. Every night before I go to bed I read a couple of books. I also like puzzles and I love to play with my babies. They like to go in the stroller and in the swing. They like to get baths and get their diapers changed too. Ever since I got a little baby sister, I have been playing with wipes and diapers all of the time. Pulling wipes out of the container to wipe babies butts or wipe the table off is one of my favorite pasttimes.

Well, this is it for now. I just wanted to write about me.

Love, Riley.

Me & My Sister


It is fun to have my baby sister home with me. I like to help Mommy & Daddy take care of Luciana. I love to hold her or lay down with her. I like to help her in the swing too.


Mommy put Luciana in my baby doll stroller. So I pretended like was pushing her around. She is little but she is a lot bigger than my babies. (Daddy note: As you can see our 8 lb newborn is really too big for the stroller so you can imagine how ridiculous our 28 lb toddler looks trying to sit in there, which still happens.)

Birthday Party!


I had a big party for my birthday since I'm two now. We had a outside party with a big tent to sit under. It was fun to be outside because we could run around and play.

There were a lot of people at my party. My family was there and my friends were there. Even Luciana was there. But she slept the whole time.



Mommy made me a Minnie Mouse cake. It was yummy. Mommy makes good cake!



And I got to open presents! I got a lot of clothes and some toys. And I got some money too!


My big birthday present is the big swingset and playhouse that Daddy is building. He is still building it but the part with the slide is finished. It is a lot of fun to go down the slide. I can't wait until the swings are ready.

Just Like Mommy


I've seen Mommy carrying around Luciana like this. So I decided to carry around my baby Josh. I got the sling on all by myself and I just needed some help getting Josh in there. Does he look comfy?

Pictures of New Baby Sister


I am very excited to have a new sister. Here are some pictures from when Mommy & Daddy got Luciana from the hospital. She is so little.



I really like to look at the baby and kiss her. Whenever someone is holding her and I say "up! up!" so I can get up and see the baby.



Mommy and Daddy stayed at the hospital with her. I went home with Grandma and Wrigley. Every time when Grandma drove up to the hospital I knew what we were doing. I would say "Mommy, Baby...Mommy, Baby". I would tell everybody that we saw that I was going to see Mommy and our baby.


Mommy & Daddy let me hold her but I have to be very careful. She is little and her head is soft. I like to point to her nose and eyes but I can't touch her head or face. Then when I hug her, I have to be real careful. It is hard because I just want to squeeze her.

New Baby!

I went to the hospital yesterday and Mommy had a new baby! I don't know where it came from but her tummy was smaller and they said there is no more baby in there. The baby's name is Luciana and everyone says that she looks me when I was a baby. I love to hug her and kiss her. I like to talk about her too. She is really little and she cries. Mommy says that she is going to live with us. That is going to be exciting!
