Random Riley Ravings

Just wanted to get in writing some of the wonderful things Riley is doing nowadays!
He is saying 'Backyardigans' really well, which is so fun because of all the symbols. He is still so loving and sweet, giving kisses to bear, saying bye to everyone and everything when it's naptime, bedtime, or when we're leaving. He even says 'Hi House' and 'Bye House' when we go somewhere in the car. It's just too cute. He knows what 'wet' means. After nap his bear is often wet, either from Riley chewing on him or possibly sweating (our a/c just doesn't' t cool upstairs well enough), and he likes to point out to me that bear is wet. And yesterday he took his bib off and sucked on his shirt, so when I pulled him out of his high chair he showed me that his shirt was wet. He also seems to have this crazy knowledge regarding the use of 'plural'. Seriously, it's weird. He knows when to say color or colors, puppy or puppies, carrot or carrots, etc. I don't know how, and I'm amazed! He knows so many animals and sounds I can't even start a list. He knows all the character names on Dora, Spongebob and the Wonder Pets, as well as most from Diego and The Backyardigans. Every footprint or handprint is 'blues clues'...too cute!
I just have so much fun with him! Everyday he learns so much, I can hardly keep up. Half the time I'm so proud of myself for doing a good job with him (yeah, who wouldn't be proud with kids like all of our's, right?!?), and the other half I'm wondering, where on Earth did he learn that! Ha ha ha.
He's my little Smarty Bear and I couldn't be more proud. I can't wait until the day comes when I get to sit down and tell him all about it, all about how excited his mommy was when he learned what 'cheeks' were!
Have a great Hump Day everyone!

I just love the bubble machine! Fun picture. :-) He really is a sweet boy! Give him a BIG kiss from Aunt Melissa!
I agree- It is SOO hard to keep track of how much they are learning and how fast! I would sit down to blog about it but I would seriously be updating it nightly with how much they learn in a day! ;-)
The Girls' do the 'hi house' and 'bye house' too but they throw in 'bye daddy's car' or 'hi mommy's car' etc. So cute! Becca is so funny lately- if she says nose, for example, she will point (or reach and touch) and say 'mommy's nose, Brooke's nose, Becca's nose, and daddy's nose!' Such a smarty!
Wish we were closer so they could all play together!!

My kids have always loved bubbles! I love them too!! I have a hard enough time keeping track with things just in their baby books much less writing a blog about everything that they learn in a week!! Riley is getting so big!

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly they learn and excel at new things. If only we could be so accomplished at our age:)
