Happy 1st Birthday, Riley

Happy Birthday to you Doodle Bug!

Today was Riley's 1st birthday and what a day. She started out by waking up at 6:00 am unhappy. After we took Reagan to school, she had her 1st year check-up at the doctor's office where she got three shots. She cried herself to sleep in the car and at least took a decent nap in the car as we waited to pick Reagan back up from school. We ate lunch, bought balloons, and took another nap. Then we got ready for the birthday party. We had our friends and neighbors come over for dinner, cupcakes, and presents. She ended her day happy as she stayed up until 8:30 playing with all her new toys.

Riley's 1 year stats are as follows:

Height 29" (50%)

Weight 20 lbs 11 ozs (45%)

Head 18 cm (70%) (what a big ole' noggin)

Happy Girl

She liked the singing of "Happy Birthday"

She did not make a big mess at all ... we were suprised. She did enjoy the cupcake though!

Look at all my cool new toys I got! Thanks Everyone!

Happy Easter 2008

Happy Easter from the Posti Girls.

Beautiful Weather

You have to appreciate living in Arizona this time of year.

We have had such beautiful weather and we get to play outside everyday.

The girls LOVE to be outside.

You would think that crawling around on the concrete and brick would not feel good.

Reagan got her hair cut at Lollilocks, her favorite girly place. She was upset because she wanted her hair cut short like Mommy's (I was not that brave).

Crazy kids running around!

We have all been sick for about a week now, once one gets sick, we all get sick. Reagan & Riley have had the croup ... Mom (who is currently hoarse) and Dad have had a cold.

Therefore, being stuck in the house, the girls have found ways to entertain themselves. It is a good thing they like to play with each other.

The girls were playing "beach".
Reagan dressed Riley in the swimsuit and pretending to play beach ball and swim. They were so funny.

Our new play fort ... it has been a lot of fun for them!

I know this is sideways (sorry, the blogger automatically makes it that way), but it is the best video I have gotten of the girls together. They were laughing so hard at each other, having a great time.

You would think ...

a 4 year old should not still be doing this?

At first, I thought it was funny. I thought she just colored her face and hands and no big deal. Well, then I started to take off her clothes. I should have known something was wrong when she had on different pajamas this morning. It only got worse. Her stomach ... then even her feet. I could have died!!! And, let me tell you, washable markers ... not so washable. I scrubbed and scrubbed ... she is STILL PINK!!! Needless to say, she has lost her privileges to use markers for a LONG TIME!

Reagan's little dress up toy

Reagan had a great time playing dress up with Riley. She had Riley all dressed up in her Tinkerbell costume. Riley was such the trooper, loving all the attention she was getting.

Thank you sissy ... I had fun dressing up with you (this is Riley kissing Reagan)

Dr. Suess Night

Happy Birthday to Dr. Suess.

Reagan's school held a "Dr. Suess Night" in honor of the great author whose books we love to read. Everyone wore their pajamas and got to read great books, play fun games, and do some projects. The girls had a good time.

The most Beautiful pictures ... so far!

We had the girls pictures taken a few weeks ago, and they came out so beautiful. These are the ones that will be hung on the wall. They are just so sweet!

The turtle has left her shell ...

We have finally hit a milestone that should have been hit a long time ago. Riley finally learned how to roll over this weekend. It took her 11 months to figure it out, but she has it down pat now.

So, not only did she roll over as a first ... she also slept on her belly for the first time and was standing in her crib this morning for the first time. Oh, she is getting so big!

Now that she can roll over and stand up in her crib, she is having a hard time going to sleep. She falls asleep sitting up with her head on the slats ... here is the proof!

We bought some new Bubble Belly Blowers.

Riley thought the bubbles were really funny. She tried really hard to move her head out of the way so the bubbles would not hit her. I think she is still apprehensive to touch them though ... she is a little slow to warm up to new things!
