The (not so) tough life of a toddler

It has been one month since Riley has turned one and she is well into toddlerhood! Riley by no means has a tough life as a toddler. She loves to play, dance, run and talk. Riley loves "E-I-E-I" or to those of us older folk, "Old MacDonald Had a Farm." She loves to sing (yes she really does sing along) to Justin Roberts, and dance to anything with a beat - such a momma's girl. Her vocabulary has exploded and she says many new words. She especially does a good job when she is able to mimic what you are saying. Check out some of her favorite activities:







Riley loves to play "knock-knock" on the door. Whenever you tell her that you're going bye-bye she runs to the doors and says "knock-knock, bye-bye."




Riley loves to point out trees by yelling "TREEEEEEEE." She can also say leaf and green to tell you what's on the tree and what color the leaves are.


Lastly, I go back and forth about whether or not we should get a cat. Riley loves the kitties that hang out outside her window at the neighboring apartment. Everyday she stands at her window yelling (seriously yelling) "MEOW" because she wants to see the kitties. It's too cute - except when the cats aren't there, then it's a tough situation to clean up! :)


I am more and more impressed at all the wonderful things Riley can do! The fall is upon us and soon it will be apple picking, pumpkin picking and Halloween. We can't wait and will be sure to blog it all!
