We are so behind on updating the blog. Who could have imagined that life would be so busy with a two year old! Time to catch everyone up on The Life of Riley. Lots of old pictures and some new. Here goes...
I forgot to upload my camera before my last post and recently found the pictures from Riley's first trip to the fair last November.

We had a wonderful Christmas. Riley was very excited for Santa to come. He got a new train set and table. Wonder how we're going to top that this year?! A big thanks to Grampa Sam for all of his hard work with building and painting Riley's new play table!

Happy New Year 2012
We started the year off right with a trip to one of our local fire stations with our MOM's Club friends. Riley really had fun! He wanted to climb up into the truck when no one else did. He was so excited to see it up close.

February 2012
We took Riley to see his first circus when it came to town. He really enjoyed it! The elephants were his favorite. We also took a few trips to our local Tallahassee Museum to play and see some more animals.

| This elephant was pretty old... poor thing :( But R didn't know any different |

February was also a big month for Riley Thomas! He finally realized that he could climb out of his crib whenever he wanted, so Tom and I had no choice but to convert his crib into the toddler bed! YAY! So exciting!!! Except, I had no idea just how much it would alter our perfect bedtime routine. Yikes! It has finally worked itself out, 2 months later... hope I don't jinx us!

March 2012
This was a great month for us too. Well, sort of. The bedtime routine became a real challenge for us. Riley enjoyed his new freedom from his crib, while getting really sick all at the same time. There were a lot of sleepless nights for Mommy. Oh, and did I mention he started using the big boy potty too!
