Cookie

Dear Riley,

You were very cranky today and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I hate when I can't make you feel better. You kept getting frustrated and crying for no reason that I could find and it made me sad. But finally we decided to give you some ibuprofen because you were hot and kept crying. A little bit later you were happy as can be. We cuddled on the couch with your blankies and Daddy gave you an oreo. You ate it right away and then wanted more. When you want something you point to it and say "uh uh uh" so we have been trying to teach you the words for things so that you can say that when you want it instead. So when you started pointing I said "cookie!" and you repeated it over and over until he gave you another one. It sounded more like kee-kee but we knew what you were saying :-) I love that you learn a new word or two every day. Every one tells me when you start talking I'll wish you had waited but I don't think that is me. I know I will cherish every word that you say to me and I can't wait until you start using sentences. Especially until you say "I love you". You blew us kisses tonight. You've been doing that for about a month but you only do it when you're really happy. Hopefully you will be happy again tomorrow :-)

I love you, Mommy
