Riley Grace

Riley Grace has SpUnK. It's true- she was feisty the moment she was born. Heck, she was the REASON the girls were born early. She's on her own timetable, she tells you like it is, she's tiny (21 lbs, 12 month clothes), she's cuddly, she has the BEST belly laugh you've ever heard, she won't go anywhere without her pappy (blanket), and she has the sweetest, and I mean sweetest, voice you've ever heard. She's my precious Riley Grace... or Wieeee Gaaaace as she says. Ohhhh how I love her. She's always been months behind her sister on every 'milestone' and she's starting to notice and it frustrates her. :( So I wanted to have a SPECIAL day with Riley to help her KNOW how special she is!

Last Saturday, Riley, my mom (Nana), and I went to the cutest place for dressup, cupcakes, tea, and a little shopping. It was PRECIOUS. Riley was a little under the weather-- ear infection, but she had fun anyway!


We played Dress up:
Acted silly!
Ate cupcakes and drank tea! (She was sure to add her sugar cubes and stir)
Riley even got a little bit of make-up!
We read FUN books like Pinkalicious!
And wore a crown-- just like in the book.
And found a princess wand-- just like in the book.
Then Nana bought Riley (and Reese) a sweeeeet Tea Set. I told Riley to pick out something else in the store. It was an adorable boutique- think pink, bows, ruffles, etc. My girly girl saw this Alligator blanket and fell head over heels! HA!
It was a special day for my very special girl!
