A little R & R

And they think this will stop me? I bet it will only slow me down!
R &R doesn't stand for rest and relaxation; there's anything but that going on at my house lately. I keep Mom and Dad hoppin' by being on the go, all the time. I have an uncanny ability to get into the very thing that they had either hoped I wouldn't or didn't think that I could get into. Despite all of their "baby proofing" I manage to find a way to get into something off limits. One of my favorites is the dog bowl. I like to pick up the dog food and drop each little piece into the dog's water bowl. Oh, what a fun kerplunk! Another time, and this was one of my craftier moves, I wiggled my go-go gadget arm into the child locked kitchen cabinet. It only opens one inch, which would make one's parents think that their child couldn't possibly get into any mischief with only a one inch opening. However, my Rykerman powers allowed me to grab the bottle of Clorox Cleanup, unscrew the squirty trigger thing and dump bleachy liquid all over (of course) a brand new, super cute outfit that Mom had put me in for the first time. She can't let me out of her sight for even a couple of minutes!
Aside from the occasional antic, I am also not sleeping so well as of late. I've got 7 teeth, but I am pretty sure I am getting more. I have been battling a cold, which keeps my nose running and a slight cough persisting. Still, I just have so much energy. Who needs rest when there is so much fun to be had?
No, these days, R & R stands for Ryker & Rilei. Rilei is Emili's (Mommy's cousin) daughter. I don't know what that technically makes her in relation to me, but I'll just simplify and call her my cousin, too. Anyway, Rilei is 2 1/2 years old and now that she lives close to us we get to hang out more often. I like that. She is crazy and she has more energy than even I do. I think it is so neat how she runs around so fast...I am hoping to learn how to do that, myself, very soon. She is so much fun to spend time with, and I am so glad I get to play with her!
Here are some pictures from the past week:

Hanging out with Daddy, literally. I love him so much!
This Friday, October 23rd, is my big day...I am turning ONE! I am going to try to post on my birthday, so I hope to see you then.
