Before We Decided to Eat Locally


This is a cute picture from earlier in the summer that I thought I'd blog. Of course, there is a McDonald's bag behind Riley (empty--but once full of French fries), and she hadn't quite figured out the Crocs and so she was falling a lot, and you can see that Riley is actually very tan despite my copious sunblock application. But she's happy as can be here, enjoying her first toddler summer!

Things that Riley learned this summer:
-Her name! and about 100 other words
-How to talk about herself (Riley do, Riley eat, Riley Riley Riley)
-That daddy's name is Matt
-How to jump
-How to do a forward roll
-How to color
-How to use the potty (she goes about 4 times per day! Unfortunately, that means that I've started to learn the joys of public restrooms with a toddler)
-How to string big beads
-Pretend play
-How to throw and kick balls
-The difference between big and small (everything is "baby!" these days)
-Occasionally she knows a color or two

How we've grown! Riley is almost 21 months.
