20 months old

As usual, Riles has had a busy couple of weeks since we last updated you.  Once Nana left, dad was the next one to take off.  With a quick trip to Orlando for work planned, Riles got to show off her Facetime skills.  The last time we tried facetiming, Riles was a little skeptical and didn't know what to think of the whole thing.  This time, Riley was a pro and loved giving dad hugs and kisses through the phone.  While dad was away, Riley was treated to dinner with Nene and Papa.  Riley loved her time with papa and really enjoyed sporting his glasses. 

In some of the bigger Riley news, she has graduated from her crib into her "big girl bed."  It is an exciting transition for her and she has done relatively well with the move.  She still enjoys cuddling with Mickey and dad added Minnie to the mix following his work trip.  Mom did a great job getting the room set up and Riley has enjoyed having so much space in her bed.  She is still adjusting but has done well overall.

As Riley's favorite college football team (ODU) tried to upset NC State, Riley hung out with her friend Maisy as Uncle Davy and Joey and Aunt Michelle and Leah gathered at Joey and Leah's house for a cookout and to watch the game.  Riley enjoyed showing off her dance skills but it wasn't enough to propel ODU to victory.

The next day was the start of the Pittsburgh Steelers season.  Riley joined her cousins at Shorebreak to cheer on the black and gold.  Riley loved riding on the motorcycle as her cousin Colton drove her and Levi around.  Aunt Michelle and Levi were even kind enough to share some tickets with Riley so she could win a prize.  In the end, the Steelers won and Riley had fun.

Over the same weekend, Riley had tons of quality time with Aunt Lizzard.  Riley made a guest appearance at Lizzard's work meeting and then Liz and Conner watched Riley as mom and dad had a date night.  They enjoyed another quality Bravo meal and also some playing by the fountains.

All in all, it has been a crazy and fun couple of weeks.  Can you believe that Riley is already 20 months old?!?!  More updates to follow.
