It Goes So Fast

I finally loaded the pictures from our camera to our computer. We still had pictures from when Riley was 6 months old! I didn't notice it because I see her everyday but she has changed SO MUCH! There's a video we have of Riley when she was about 2 months old and it almost made Tyler and I cry because she's grown up so fast. Compared to the videos we have of her now... I just want to time to stop! Not only does it make me feel old but super nostalgic and the nostalgia leads to weepiness. I never considered myself over emotional but ever since I had Riley, I am a weeper. I was 4 months pregnant and cried my eyes out during Finding Nemo.

Riley just turned 15 months old on Monday! She's such a little girl in every way and the 'cutest thing alive' according to Tyler. She steals my make up and brushes and walks around the house pretending to put on make up. She HATES messes. For her first birthday I made cupcakes and I stripped her down expecting her to dive in. She just looked at me. I put frosting on her face and hands for tradition's sake and she looked at her hands and then at me like, 'why in the world would you do that to me?'. After eating she always reaches for a napkin to wipe off her mouth. She still eats and sleeps like a crazy person (like daddy, like daughter). I think she has a hollow leg or something. That girl can EAT! She could spend hours in her room just looking at books. She loves to put away her toys as much as she does to play with them. Tyler and I have a hard time keeping up with her because she's freakily smart. She managed to get out of her bouncer the other day! A feat we still cannot quite figure out. She's just a little thinker and we are so blessed.
