Riley's second birthday was last weekend. We had a big party to co-celebrate with two of his friends who also turned two [Abi and Abby]. There were LOTS of people there! Luckily, it wasn't at my house. I was in charge of the decorations, and Grammie helped me put everything up. Then Sunday, we had a family get-together at home, and Riley got to do it all again! Lucky kid. He was very excited about the prospect of birthday this year, and has begun to associate all cake with "happy day". We're enjoying the plethora of new things to explore and play with!
Here are some pictures of adventures since the last post, plus birthday stuff!
We've been apple picking. Riley thought the picking part was great, but wanted to take *one* bite out of every apple he picked.
Fun with sticks.
Riley had his first hair cut a few weeks ago. We were in St. Louis and my Aunt Janet did the job. This is the "before" picture....
and this is the "after" picture.
This one, I just thought was the world's sweetest little expression ever.
For the birthday party with his friends, we had a Music Together party, which is the "brand" of music class that a lot of us go to together. The teacher came to the party and we got to play instruments and dance and sing. It was super cute to see all the kiddies makin music!
In the music theme, we had a great cake for the three birthday kids. Here they all are getting ready to blow out candles together.
As an afterthought, the music cake was great, but the black icing was a bit of an unforeseen disaster. This is a pretty tame picture - we have one where it looks like he's grown a full beard.
"How old are you?" TWO! [He can't hold up two fingers on the same hand yet]
And finally, the special digger truck birthday cake from the bakery in town. He thought this was AWESOME!
