Flu Update

I had the flu last week. I was feeling sick and Daddy took me to the doctor. They said that I had the flu and they gave me some medicine and a sucker. The medicine was okay but the sucker was really good! Mommy took good care of me. She gave me medicine and watched my fever until it went away. And she didn't let me kiss or hug Luciana because she didn't want her to get sick. But I'm all better now and Luciana didn't get sick. So that is good. Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm all better.

First Haircut

Well, Luciana already stole my thunder with her blog but I wanted to tell everyone that I got a haircut this week. You can see her blog for a couple more pictures.

Now, I don't have much hair to be cutting but I went to get my hair trimmed. A nice lady called Angela cut my hair. I got to sit in a big chair and look in the mirror the whole time. I was a good girl and I sat really still. I didn't smile much and I looked real serious. I was just a little nervous because I never had my hair cut before. I didn't know if would hurt. It didn't hurt. It was okay. And they gave me suckers too. That was good too.

Trick Or Treat?

I had fun for Halloween! First I carved some pumpkins with Mommy and Daddy. We had a Dora and a Minnie pumpkin.

Then Mommy and Grandma helped me get dressed up as Minnie. I like Minnie. She is on Mickey Clubhouse, my favorite show. I think that it should be called Minnie Clubhouse. My friend Annabelle bought me a Minnie dress for my birthday. A lot of my family came over to see me dressed up as Minnie. Everyone said I was cute.

Here I am, ready to go get some candy. That is the best part about Halloween is the candy. I would go up to the houses and "treat o' treat". (who really wants tricks?) Most of the people were nice. Some people were scary. They had scary masks and scary music. So we didn't go to those houses.

It was a lot of fun and I got a lot of candy. Yummy! Now, I just have to make sure Daddy doesn't eat it all.

Happy Halloween. Love, Riley

Pumpkins

I have seen a lot of pumpkins lately. Mommy has a bunch of pumpkins around the house. There are "baby pumpkins" and "daddy pumpkins" (Daddy note: little ones and big ones). And Mommy keeps dressing me and Luciana in clothes with pumpkins on it. I even got a card with pumpkins in the mail today. I don't know what the deal is with these pumpkins lately.

We went to get real pumpkins at a farm yesterday. They had A LOT of pumpkins. I couldn't decide which one to pick. I ran around and looked at a lot of them.
Grandpa went with us to pick out pumpkins. He was helping me look at the pumpkins. He had to give me candy so I would sit still for a picture. Both Grandpa and Poppy always give me what I want.

The farm with pumpkins also had cows and goats! The lady let me feed the goats. It tickled when they licked my hands! There was also a baby cow there that was only 3 weeks old. He was way bigger than my baby sister. He was way bigger than me too!
We bought 4 pumpkins and now they sitting on the front porch. I will let you know what we do with them.

The Skyfort

So Daddy finally finished building my playset! It is very big and there is a lot of stuff to do on it. I'm going to play on it a lot.

There is a slide and swings....


...and monkey bars to play on when I get older.


And there is a playhouse with another deck to climb up to.


It is really fun and I'm glad Daddy built it for me.

New Stuff

I like that Mommy is home with me and Luciana. She likes to take us shopping. It is fun because she likes to buy stuff for us. We went shopping today and Mommy bought me this dress. Daddy said that Mommy must think that I'm twenty ones. Twenty ones??? But I am two not one??? I don't know what that means but he did think that I looked cute.

And she also bought me these boots. I've never had boots before. Do you like them?

And Mommy got me some princess shoes. I'm going to wear these with my Minnie costume.

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.
