Update: 25 Random Things a Year Later

25 Random Things About Riley Milligan

(I initially wrote this about a year ago after the 25 Random Things craze swept Facebook. I thought it would be fun to look back and add a few more tidbits about Miss Priss).


1. Her name was either going to be Riley, Samantha (Sam), or Laney.
2. Her middle name is Monroe-which is my mom's maiden name.
3. She did not like baby food.
4. She did not crawl until about 11 months of age.
5. Just like her brother, she's only had one professional hair cut, the rest I have done. But- she's in dire need of a professional cut now.
6. Her mother likes to buy her shoes.
7. She likes to talk on the phone. A lot.
8. The nurse delivered her b/c the Dr. couldn't make it to the room fast enough.
9. She pooped on the toilet today, for the 2nd time in her little life.
10. She can hold a crayon or pen the correct way and has been for quite some time.
11. She's not a good sleeper.
12. She often sleeps sitting up against pillows (a habit we must break in order to fix # 11).
13. If she could tell you who her best friend was right now she would say Addy. Although she can be mean to her sometimes.
14. She loves her dog Kodiak more then anything in the world, almost.
15. She would live in flip flops if I let her.
16. She 'tries' to dress herself all the time. She can finally put on a pair of pants the right way. Still working on the shirt.
17. She loves anything w/ sugar in it.
18. She likes to 'cook' us dinner in her kitchen.
19. She likes to play Legos w/ Jack, although he doesn't always reciprocate the feeling.
20. She's obsessed w/ the show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
21. She loves to drink milk.
22. She would tell you that she is old enough to 'play computer,' just like her brother.
23. She loves to eat rice, applesauce, hot dogs, cheese and ham.
24. She was not a surprise-we wanted her badly!
25. I love her dearly.

NOW:

26. She still loves to drink milk - the more the better.
27. She now dresses herself all the time. She likes to have a say in what she wears so I often will give her two choices. Of course these two choices are BOTH something I want her to wear- but at least she thinks she's choosing.
28. She loves to eat chicken, green beans, rice, sugar, cereal, waffles, cheese, more sugar....
29. Thank God she's full potty trained and has been since May- although she would only go at home until August.
30. Funny- she is still obsessed w/ Mickey Mouse Clubhouse- in fact, she is 'resting' and watching it right now.
31. Her mother still likes to buy her shoes. :-)
32. She plays w/ her babies all the time. She like to feed them, change them, dress them and stroll them around.
33. She still loves to color and is started to slowly write slightly recognizable letters- just a few of them.
34. She likes for me to put her hair in pigtails and then braid the pigtails.
35. She can be bossy at times.
36. She can by loving, generous, kind and gentle at times as well.
37. She loves the cookies from Harris Teeter.
38. She doesn't play w/ Legos too much anymore.
39. She can ride a big girl bike w/ training wheels now.
40. She love to follow her mommy around the house.

And of course: I still love her dearly.


Until next time...
