Riley Riley Riley Riley Riley Riley
It has just been builing up, well, since the day she was born, but more so than ever lately, just how much i love her! She means the world to me. Everyday there is so many new things not only that she learns, repeats or does but just new things that hit me about her that i notice in a way i never have. I love how "my riley":
- says "Butt" for buttons or her butt
- randomly will point out and says "shirt"-pointing to hers than "shirt" pointing to mine...same with pants, sock, shoes and any accessories.
- makes anything and everything into a purse, bracelett, necklace and hat!
- loves her naps and bed time
- says AMEN really loud beore whoever is saying the prayer can finish the word "Christ"
- has the hardest time learning to close her eyes during a prayer...she tries so hard, she diligently squeezes her eyes tight as can be, folds her arms and wiggles, gasps for air and licks her tongue about widly-anything to keep those eyes shut
- loves baby dolls right now, she feeds them, gives them her drink and pushes them everywhere in the stroller
- smells flowers
- is not a picky eater
- woke up this morning and called for me "MAMMA!" for the first time...she usually just plays in her crib until we get her.
- will hug me so tight
- kisses my "boo-boo's"
- leanred what an "owey" is so now everything hurts all the time.. "owwwww" and when i say, youre okay, she says "i k"
- gets over being sad, hurt of upset if you simply ask "what happened" she will stop crying and tell you
- is so smart
- so pettite
- poops ALL the time-not so much
- is so easy going
- is mine
- loves me
- burps
- farts
- laughs
- sings
- walks
- runs
- has hair that curls up so good if i wet it and comb it out
- has this ridiculous underbite and when we ask her to smile those two bottom teeth stick out like never before
- squints her eyes shut if we ask her to smile
- doesn't care that we are so demanding and always ask her to do things "get a diaper and wipe", "smile", "sad face", "surprise face", don't do this and don't do that, come here, go there, etc
- screams for fun
- says "no no no no no no" randomly
- gets her feelings hurt if you tell her no
- she says "ewwwwww!!!" to anything from a speck of durt to a fly or a toy with a wierd texture
- loves to read books now
- does summersaults all on her own-sort of sideways and neck breaking to watch!
- loves her daddy
- likes to help mommy wash dishes
- LOVES (an understatement) bubble baths
- is 100% her own person
I just love my riley so much. I think the the world would crumble without her. Not to say i never have moments where she drives me nuts, because i certainly do, but than again, she is right there when i'm done being frustrated, lovely as ever. Heavenly Father really knew what he was doing when he gave her to josh and i. I feel beyond blessed to have her in my life and i try to remember this every second of every day. She is the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me-josh first, with out him none of this would be possible. I love my husband dearly, he is the best partner i could ask for and the most amazing dad. It doesn't hurt that Riley looks like him...she is my EVERYTHING and i just had to write this down before i burst!
That is soooo sweet! I am glad you love being her Mom and now you have another one on the way!
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice to read these sort of things because they help remind me of how lucky I am to be a mommy too! Being a mother is like nothing else in this world...there is no love more pure, more endless, more selfless than the love for your child. And it is obvious that you have that love for Riley. I got very emotional and had a lot of separation anxiety from Makenna before having Kellen, so just be prepared that it might happen to you too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a very sweet post. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat is very sweet. How nice for her to look back and see how happy she made you when she gets older.
