Monkey Baby!

Just playing around the house this afternoon, and here's how Riley wanted to do her hair...

How cute is that! She is such a fun and smart and loving kid. These days, she has been getting more and more ready to talk. She is good with words like bath, ball, nana (for banana), mama, and dada. We've also been working on keys, please, thank you, and I love you. So exciting! She is also doing a better job of sitting on her potty (though she only pees in it every once in a while), helping to give the cats water, giving kisses, and cleaning up after herself. Seriously, she wipes up spilled water and throws away garbage. Oh, and she has been carrying a purse around on her arm lately. Some days, we can't go anywhere without it! My little girl is growing up. . . and, I'm just thrilled to be a part of it!
