Copy Cat??? Fake Laugh

Riley has developed a stage laugh. I am not sure who she is copying, but from this video clip I am sure you may recognize a laugh that may be the cause?

Slip n Slide

A few days ago we went to Greg and Melanie for lunch. The Stokes's where also there, so Greg set up his "Foam Machine" with a Slip n Slide for the kids to play on.

Riley has started being brave lately, swimming etc so we decided to give her a go as well.

She really loved the thrill, especially when she went head first.

Water, Water everywhere - but where is it from?

We have an irrigation system that comes on at about 6h00. A few days ago Riley was outside with me and she spotted the water spraying the lawn.

This caused much interest...

Even Angels...

It seems that even angels have their moments. A few days ago I was at home during the day. At lunch time Riley decided to try her luck by refusing to sit in her high chair. She gave Domenica a hard time while she was trying to feed her.

I also tried with the same result.

This video clip is taken about 45 minutes into the exercise. As you can see she is still pushing her boundaries.

After this she fell asleep in the chair, and was much happier when she woke up.

Riley's 1st Birthday Party

Its hard to believe that it is nearly a year since Riley was born. She is now such an active "ball of fire", and has no fear. She walks around the house like no tomorrow, and even takes Grandpa for walks around the garden.

Riley really had a great day today. She loved all the attention and the gifts, especially the plastic balls in the shell.

She was well and truly spoiled receiving many gifts, which she really loves.

The birthday cake also went down a treat. She munched her fair share and got icing everywhere, in her hair, on her clothes etc.
