This this, this, THAT?

Everything is This? This? That? these days which is good, b/c despite Riley's crap-tastic ears, he's been on quite the new vocabulary tear! He now says "Good bye" as opposed to just bye...which is of course, adorable. He says school, yellow, most of his teacher's names (Sara, Tara, Edie, Max)and some of the kids too (Kayla, Cassie)...and a whole slew of animals (duck, Maggie, doggie, cat). He said "giraffe" one day, but I think it was just a fluke as he hasn't said it again since. Jim taught him to say "rad" this week, which is hilarious. I say "cool" a lot so Riley has picked that one up too. He still can't say Luca...one of his newest buddies on the block- Luca is still "Caca" or "Dookie"...sorry Kar. He loves looking at his friends' blogs online though- he goes apesh*t when he sees a pic of himself on the computer. ha ha

Anyway, looks like we're actually going to get out of the house this weekend as Riley seems to be feeling good...yay birthday parties! We've had quite the unwelcome break from seeing many of our friends and their kidlings so Jim and I are psyched for Mia's first birthday today!

Oh, and last night we went out for thai food and he was a thai eating fiend...chicken satay, jasmine rice, shrimp & pineapple yellow curry rice and spicy pork pradgrow! It was insane...and of course, he flirted with all of the thai ladies (and even the male attendant).

Here's a few pics to tide you over until we post pics from all of our weekend fun!

Riley passing out much to early for our tastes...long hard day at school, I guess:
