We have been enjoying life!!! Riley is into everything, but it has actully made my life more enjoyable. I love to watch him learn. He is learning at a million miles an hour. We have been teaching him a few signs and he has started signing milk back. He has learned how to clap and wave bye, bye. He is also getting so good at walking. He loves to "play" Wii bowling. Whenever we play he has to be included. He has to be holding on to a remote. He will even swing the remote back and forth. He also loves to play with brooms! I am not sure why, but he would probably play with a broom for as long as I would let him. Riley loves to be out side! He is always so happy to be outside. The only problem I have with him playing outside so much is all of the bumps and scratches he gets. On Saturday he wiped out on the drive way and now has road rash on his cheek and nose.

Riley has found his new favorite toy! This was one of Nicolas' toy's and it was one of his favorites. When Grandpa Woolstenhulme (Eric) was little he had a toy just like this one, and you've guessed it, it was one of his favorites also. It must be in the Woolstenhulme blood or something.


For about a week or so Riley has been napping for about two and half hours. He has never really napped much more than 45 minutes at a time, sometimes he would nap for a few hours, so hopefully he is going to countinue this napping trend.

When the weather has been nice we have been spending alot of time outside. Riley loves to be outside! He really likes to play with the basketball! It is fun to watch him pick it up because it is a little heavy for him and he becomes front heavy. He doesn't fall over but he leans forward and starts walking really fast.

On the 25th of March we had our final walk through of the house before we went to sign the papers to buy our house. When we were walking through we turned on the water heater, but the water never warmed up while we were there. Well we thought that it might be slow so we left it and the realtor said he would come back and check it. When he came back it was still not working. So they had to call a electrician to come and look at it. Well he was late and to make a long story short we had no where to sleep that night. The next day every thing was up and working, or so we thought. We moved in and then when we woke up Friday we had no hot water. Come to find out we had a bad element. The picture of Nicolas showes what a good element looks like (the one on the left) and what a bad element looks like ( the one on the right).
Riley wanted to help so he started to mop the floor!









We have almost been in our new house for two weeks. We have pretty much all our boxes unpacked. Our families helped us a ton and we are so greatful for them. We really did not have that much stuff, but with our truck, Nicolas' parents truck and Suburban, and my dads' truck we were able to get everything moved from our apartment to our house in pretty much one afternoon, and then by that night we had most of our stuff in the house and some unpacked.











While we were waiting to move into our new house we were over at Grandma Woolstenhulme's house. (We had a few issues with the water heater so we did not get to move in when we though.) Anyway Riley decided he was not happy playing outside of the box of toys and climbed in. At first he was head first in the box but I helped him get into a more comfortable position.
