More of our Riley Man at 2
Warning: I use this blog as more of a life journal...I will be ordering a copy from Blog2print at the end of the year and each subsequent year (I know as if I need one more journal/scrapbook of pictures...) so although it's not the most interesting reading the pictures might still be fun?!
Riley-you are so full of life and you make the funniest faces and gestures everyday. When something is super funny to you or you are just trying to keep up with the big people's version of funny you slap your knee and throw your head back to laugh. You sign 'more' for everything from wanting us to tickle you more, wanting to say more prayers, you sign 'more' for a bigger push on the swings and you sign 'more' when we make you laugh, you have taken signing 'more' to a whole new level beyond 'more' food. You crack us up when we see you signing more at the funniest times.
You also sign 'thank you', 'sorry', 'please', (which is Katie's absolute favorite!) and 'all done'. Almost immediately after you know you just did something you shouldn't have you are signing sorry and running over to us to give us a sweet hug which usually gets you out of a time out but not always.
You laugh as you try to ride Deuce and you think it's hilarious when he licks and nips at you, unless you are tired then it's just not at all funny. You also snuggle with Deuce almost every morning. Cute, but a very hairy endeavor that drives Mommy nutso!
You are going to the bathroom on your potty chair 55% of the time and after a successful sit down you stand up with your fingers in the #1 position screaming "woo hoo, pee pee, woo hoo, pee pee" we laugh and chant this the whole time until the pee pee is all gone. You love wearing big boy underwears and are getting pretty good at pulling them down and grabbing new unders after an accident.
You are such a lover and sensitive little boy. You give lots of hugs and kisses and rub our backs when you can tell we are sad or tired.
You are so excited for your party and you throw your arms up and say "two" while pointing to yourself and exclaiming "woo hoo."
You talk all the time and we try to understand what your saying but most of the time you are pulling us over to what you mean. When we are out driving and you see a black car it's always "Daddy's Dar", if it's silver it's "Kaydee's Dar" and if it's a truck it's always "Mommy's Dar."
When we are pulling up to our house you are chanting to yourself "mommy house, daddy house, mommy house, daddy house, deuce house, mommy house", and then you point to yourself and say house because you have no idea how to say Riley and haven't even attempted it.
You love to help mommy bake and Daddy cook. You pour flour into the bowls, noodles into the pan and Daddy let's you help stir while Mommy let's you lick the mixers. Most of the time though you are content to sit on the counters and watch what is going on though.
You call G'ma Hutch-Nana and not Mommy...finally! You call G'pa Hutch-Papa and every motorcycle you see reminds you of Papa so you talk about him non stop for a good 5 minutes.
While we were at Costco this weekend we told you it was time to go home and you grabbed my cell phone and were trying to call Nana and Papa-apparently you wanted them to save you. When you couldn't dial out you looked at me with defeat in your eyes, held up the cell and whispered 'Mommy, Nana and Papa" and then signed 'please.' We went home anyways and you violently shook your head no and wailed "no house, no house." It just made us snicker at how funny and perceptive you are because if Nana and Papa were there they probably would have taken you home with them and then you wouldn't have had to spend another Saturday night with Mommy and Daddy ; )
You love to play with your toys and just by us adding a mattress to the livingroom from your new big boy bed you entertained yourself for hours. You are inquisitive and very thoughtful. You watch from a distance and then you jump in and have a blast.
Mommy took you to the Little Gym last week for a fun celebration and the 2-year-old and under room was of no interest to you, you watched the big kids playing and with-in minutes were attempting sommersaults, making baskets and running around joyously. You even asked very nicely to have your face painted and you thanked the young lady afterwards. You LOVE having your face painted! "ball mommy, ball!"
We find you singing to yourself a special song "mommydaddydaddymommydeuceydaddymommmydaddy" in a quiet, sweet little voice as you play.
Basically, you are the cutest thing we have ever seen and you make us smile and laugh everyday. Love you Little Man and we can't wait to see what this year holds for you!

Our Little Man has now turned 2!
Wow, July 1st came fast.
blink.
Goodbye June.
blink.
Hello 2nd birthday.
blink.
July is so booked that we will celebrate on July 25th.
blink.
I better get started planning or no one will show up!
Riley, our active, well behaved, entertaining, (for the most part) great listening, loving, cuddly, cute as a squirrel (if you think squirrels are cute?!) TWO-YEAR-OLD...EEEKKK we have a 2 year old! For the most part it doesn't feel like much has changed in a year. Riley is talking alot more and not falling nearly as much but thankfully he isn't growing up as fast as he did that first year. We are just enjoying life as simply as possible and continuing to take way too many pictures.
Riley you are speaking so many more words this year including,
hi, baby, book, more, star, house, door, dog, howie, bye, ball, katie, car, hot and your favorite the last few weeks no, no. Although it sounds really cute coming out of your mouth we are trying very hard not to snicker at it!
You are wearing size 5 shoes, 18-24 month old clothes, size 12 month old shorts because of your super skinny waist and you weigh about 22 lbs.
You love to play with all kinds of cars and trucks and you spend a huge amount of your time re-arranging them and 'driving' them all over the house. You love to be read to and Howie books are your favorite right now.
You are sleeping from about 7:45-7:15 or so and napping for about 2 hours in the late morning.
Mommy and Daddy still fight over who gets to carry you to bed because we both love to hold your snuggly body as we walk down the hall.
You give kisses and hugs all the time and say hi to just about everyone.
You have become an independent player and will play by yourself for an hour while we finish up dishes or cooking. Although you love to have company on the floor also! : )
We spent your b-day still recovering from the nasty illness that left Mommy near tears, Daddy unable to swallow and you coughing like a seal. No good, no fun, and please don't ever come back! We headed to Benigans for your b-day dinner of mac and cheese and of course a huge b-day sundae
and then we went to Toy Story 3 in 3D. (don't see it in 3D...waste of money) You got in free for your b-day and sat really well through the ridiculous 30 minute previews with your glasses on but about an hour into the movie got really antsy and Mommy had to walk you up and down the stairs and let you run free for awhile. Don't worry there wasn't many people in the theatre and to be honest Mommy was antsy too!

You opened up presents like a pro this year and even blew out your candles. You read through the cards like the thoughtful, patient boy you are and you you were so happy with everything you got.
You make us so proud and we celebrated all weekend with left over cake, a trip to the MOA and park pictures (I am not done-you didn't give me your best smiles because of the sickies so we will be going back for more next week!)
Love you Little Man and Happy Birthday!
Mommy is planning your baaaa-irthday for the end of the month so we will celebrate again!
