My two year old Ri Ri!

Wow, we have been giving Lolie so much blog time, that I had totally forgotten to give my sweet adorable son his moment! Riley turned two five days after the birth of his sister. In a way it was fun because Nana got to be here for his first and second birthday! Seems how the two of our kiddos are so close it may become a yearly tradition! :)

So here is our Bugaboo's Stats!
Height: 34 1/7 = 50% (Finally average and not a runt anymore!) :)
Weight: 33.7 lbs (we get so many comments about how he is going to be a good football player some day. I just hope he gets enough height to have a chance.)

Below are pictures and things about Riley you may not know!

1. Riley loves numbers and Puzzles. When we take him to the store the first thing he points out is the number 9 and screams over and over "Nine Nine Nine."

2. Riley loves "coclate" (chocolate) as he calls it. Anything Brown is now known as "coclate" or "caca". He even calls people with dark skin "caca". It took us a long time to realize what he was calling them. The meaning was revealed when he got into the cubboard and pointed to the Brownie mix and called it "caca".

3. Riley loves soft things. He goes to bed with two plush frogs and has certain clearanced blankets. If you put anything on his bed not pre-approved he gets really mad and throws them off. Brandon has had many fun nights torturing poor Riley with this. Nana's Thomas blanket (in the picture below) has made the grade! :)


4. Our new favorite Veggie is.... SOY BEANS! Have you ever heard of a toddler loving soy beans? Well, my kids is not normal when it comes to food. He loves veggies, milk, and even ate a Tabasco marinated pickle. We don't usually have Tabasco pickles in our house. It was an accident that we even had it. Poor Riley turned bright red with tears streaming down his eyes, but he continued to eat it.

5. Riley is starting to love his little sister! We have some touch and go moments still, but I thought it was sweet of him to share his cars with her.

All in all we have a polite little boy who is now using lots of words. We even got him to say a short prayer the other night! We thought that day would never come. :p Getting a two year old to even sit through a prayer is like pulling teeth. We love our Bugaboo! :)

Hospital Visit!

Nana and Riley came to visit the Day after Lorelei was born. I was glad too because I missed my bugaboo and was very happy to see my mom! At first my little guy was apprehensive and afraid of the hospital room. So Brandon, Riley, and my mom took a quick trip to the advertised cup in the picture below. I was really excited to have my french fries and strawberry shake. I had been starving since the day I had Lorelei. I had to get to the hospital at 6:00 in the morning and could not eat any food. I went the whole entire day without any food too. The most I got was grape Popsicles and ice and by the time I had her it was almost 9:00 at night. The only thing I got to have after that was juice. Thank Heavens for a loving husband and mom to come to my rescue! (the next day of course)

Lorelei Alyse Henderson!

Here she is ladies and Gents! I realize the color of my pictures are a little funny, but I got this new and incredibly fun camera. I'm still learning to use it! But please enjoy this little cutie! :) My mom and I had a blast dressing her up. (There are still more dress up pictures not appearing in this post.) It's still so surreal that I am a mother of two now! :)
