happy birthday to riley roo! today you are two!!

you are sassy. i don't know why they call it the terrible two's.
you are very vocal and love to talk very loudly. i think it would be safe to call it screaming.
you are a great sleeper. down around 7:30 up at 7. one nap.
you can hold your own and know just how to get your way.
you always wake up very happy.
you like to tease. you love to tell us that you are five and wait for us to tickle you until you say two.
your favorite thing to eat is macaroni and cheese. you would eat it every day for every meal if i let you.
you do not like meat. i think it's a texture thing.
you are an escape artist. i have not figured out how to keep you in your seat belt. it's terrible.
when we drive in the car you absolutely must be wearing shoes.
i can rarely make it through a trip to the store without a major meltdown. i hope it's just a phase.
you love to pray and point up to the sky when we ask where Jesus is.
you love your sisters and want to copy every single thing they do.
you love to dance gangnam style and will randomly break out in the dance moves throughout the day.
you don't like to have your picture taken and so i bribe you with candy. it only works the first time.
you love to talk on the phone and will pick up my cell and call people usually without me knowing it.
you don't like getting your diaper changed. maybe it's time to potty train.
every night when i put you to bed we sing "bless the Lord" and "you are my sunshine", followed by a prayer by mommy and then by you.
you are a mommy's girl through and through and i love it.

we love you so much riley. thank you for bringing so much happiness into our lives. and even though you are getting bigger you will always be mama's baby♥
