Riley is a feisty but loving little girl! She loves to follow Ethan and Mia around and copy everything they do, especially Ethan. Those two are a lot alike. They either get along extremely well, or fight like crazy. Riley isn't afraid to get in there and pull his hair, hit him, push him, or scratch him. I have to watch him because he gets rough with her. I don't think he means to be so rough, but it's the boy coming out in him. What's funny is when Riley yells at him. It always makes me laugh. She yells, "ETHAN" as loud as she can. I need to try and get it on camera.
Riley and Mia usually get along pretty well. There can be a lot of fighting over toys which includes some hair pulling and scratching. Riley likes to tackle Mia. Mia will be walking in the living room and Riley runs behind her, grabs her around her middle, and down they go. It's so funny to watch. Mia either laughs or screams bloody murder. I guess it depends on what kind of mood she's in. Those two wrestle around on the floor too. They weigh the same but Mia is taller, so she has a little bit of an advantage.
Riley has been talking quite a bit. I think she talks more than the twins did at her age. She says, pop, juice, shoes, poop, pee pee, Ethan, Mia, Elsa, kitty, Mama, Dada, open, hair, drink, butt etc. There are more but I can't quite remember them all. Riley is very persistent when she wants something. If she wants something to drink, she'll say "drink juice" over and over until I get up.
She still takes one afternoon nap. Riley usually sleeps for 1 1/2 hours. She goes to be between 9 and 10pm and sleeps through the night! I can't tell you how good it feels to sleep through the night. My body is trying to catch up for the last 3 years!
