Riley & Reese

We spent last weekend visiting with family in Illinois. Riley and Reese got the chance to play together and we went to the Mule Day festival in Enfield. Reese was really excited about Riley. In the video you can hear her squealing the entire time. She was so excited she was actually shaking. I hope as she gets older she will still be that excited about playing with her cousin. They are so close in age that we may hear as much crying as we do squealing I'm afraid.

Playin'

Here is a video of Riley and Jamie playing together the other day. Riley is taking pictures with an old camera that quit back in the summer.

Sleepy Girl

Sunday we had friends over for lunch. As we were eating we noticed a very sleepy Riley was eating with her eyes closed. It was so funny. By the time I got the camera going she was almost completely out. Poor girl. Church must have wore her out.

Play Mate

Riley and Jamie got a chance to play together the other afternoon for a few minutes. For the most part it was peaceful. Riley has a tendancy to take toys away from Jamie but Jamie is so sweet she doesn't protest. Riley is going to have to learn better how to share I think. They played pretend tea part and made lots of music on the piano. They even both talked on their phones!

Riley 18 Months

Riley was 18 months yesterday. It is hard to believe it has been a year and a half. She is learning so much so fast now. She is even getting the hang of her Barbie Jeep but not so much the steering part.

Riley Lovin on Suzy

Riley loves cats. Since all of ours disappeared she hasn't had any to play with. We went to Mom and Dad's and Riley took up with one of their cats, Suzy. She didn't seem to mind Riley's hugs and patting.

Big Girl

Riley is so big when it comes to climbing. She really is never afraid and she actually does really well getting up and down ladders. It is quite terrifying. David took these pictures of Riley playing on the swing set behind the church.
