Scissors, Drawing, and more Light Box fun . . .

Last week Riley got the chance to play with scissors for the first time.  He was very excited about it and did a really good job.  I love how you can see how concentrated he was in these pictures.  He was trying to do "enormous" cuts and his mouth would open and close with each cut.  It was really fun to watch.  We are going to have to do this more often. 

Riley is really into monster trucks right now.  We have a show called "All About Monster Trucks" in our Netflix queue and he requests it all the time.  He also has a few monster trucks that he loves playing with.  Here is his first picture of a monster truck.  Notice the "enormous" tires.  (apparently he is using that word a lot right now too)

 This next picture shows the first time he tried to sign his name on a picture.  Notice the backwards "E" in the lower right-hand corner.

Here is a new game that we are playing on our light box.  I have six small glass jars that I filled with different colored water (red, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple).  We pick one jar and then Riley has to run to the toys and find something that is the same color as that jar.  He is pretty great at it and runs really fast.  I love to hear his feet stomp across the floor as he runs back and forth.

This picture you can see how pretty the glass jars are on the light box

This picture you can see his cute face and how well he matched his toys to the colors
