Riley Nicole at 2 Years, 7 Months

Riley is another month older.  Here's a look at her today:

• She's officially potty trained.  She's been out of diapers/pull-ups for over a week now.  She still wears them for naps and bedtime.  She usually wakes up dry 50% of the time. 
• She loves to be naked and will try to run out of the bathroom without her pants after going potty.  she's usually proclaiming "I'm naked, I'm naked!"
• She is very independent and likes to tell us "I'm a big girl."
• If you ask her what her baby's name is she'll always say "Mia" (this was option #2 for Harper).  If you ask her what the baby in mommy's tummy name is she'll say "Popper Murphy."
• She's officially in a size 6 shoe. 
• She hates bedtime.  She insists on reading books (we limit it to 2-3), being told at least one story about her favorite cartoon Max and Ruby, and to be tickled on her tummy with her bunny.  Once those are over she immediately begins crying and saying that she needs to go poopy, wants her mommy/daddy, wants milk, and doesn't want to go to bed.  Fast forward 30-60 minutes and she's asleep.
• She likes to play with trains but is terrified every time she hears the sound of the trains whistling at bedtime.  We have nightly trains that pass by our house between 7-10.  She'll wake up from finally falling asleep, cover her eyes, and cry until we come in.
• She loves Snow White, but we have to fast forward through the witch parts.  She insists on watching it, but is terrified of half of the movie.  After watching several old Disney Movies it is crazy how scary they actually are.  I don't remember them being that scary, but all of the old fairy tales has at least one scary character that threatens/tries to kills another character.
• Favorite Toys: Balls, dolls, paint, swing, bike, bubbles, silly putty.
• Favorite Snacks: "popasols" popsicles, go-gurt, peanuts, popcorn, "white ice cream"
• Favorite Foods: no change.
• She always finishes her food way before we are done and tries to wipe her face, take her bib off, and jump down from the table. 
• She loves to help in the kitchen.  Mostly she likes to "scramble, scramble, scramble" everything.  She'll crack every egg in the carton if I don't pay attention.
• She adds "maybe" to 75% of her sentences.
• We caught her playing with her magnadoodle and saying "U,R,P,H."  She must be working on spelling her name at Hedy's house. 

Here's a few pictures of her fun personality:
