Funny Faces

Jason, my brother was famous for making funny faces and I just felt that Eli needed to learn a few. He did such a good job that he felt Riley needed to learn as well.

Her Own Chair

During Church, while at the Koyle's, Riley was acting like a usual one-year old full of wiggles, noise and giggles. We decided to take a walk to get away. She wandered into a classroom full of chairs just her size. I put her on the chair to sit and she sat down as happy as a lark. She sat down for quite a while and so I took the chair into Relief Society Room and she sat down in it for nearly the whole lesson.

Fall Asleep Anywhere

When Riley woke up, Daddy went and got her and brought her to bed with us. I fed her and it was early enough that I put her on the floor and told her to go up to Grandma. She started to and then stopped and fell asleep in the hallway. Jared woke up to get ready for work and tripped over her on the way to the bathroom.

Riley's Attitude

My Mother-in-Law asked me how I was doing and I told her honestly how I was doing. Riley is starting to get an attitude. She has given me tons of scowls and I feel guilty when she does it because she looks like her daddy. My favorite solution is to kiss her brow and it goes away.
The other problem I have is that she puts her feet on her table and won't take them off. I know she know that she is doing something wrong, but I think she tests her limits because she continues to do it. It's a good thing she is so cute.

A few days later we found ourselves in Tremonton. Alexa, Eli and Riley's cousin, gave Eli a scowl, similar to the one seen above. I told him to kiss her brow and he did. She turned to him and smiled.

Hide and Find.

Okay, so it's time to put the Christmas tree down and Eli climbs into this big box and hides. We told Grandpa to come and look for him, and when he came around the corner, he was so full of giggles, you couldn't not find him.
