What We've Been Up To

Getting new teeth

Loving bath time.

Playing outside

Peek-a-boo

Bike rides with dad

If I had to describe Ruby in one word at this age it would be fun. I'm loving this stage that she's in & how she's repeating everything single thing I say, & how she loves to take care of her baby dolls, & how she waves to literally every person in the grocery store or anywhere else and says, "Hi! Love you!" It's been almost a year and a half now of being a parent & while it certainly has its ups & downs, I still feel like I need someone to pinch me every so often. I just never knew it would be this fun. It seems impossible to be able to love this much.

It's Really Not Mitten Weather...

But Ruby wants to wear them all day long. I swear this girl gets more personality by the day. Her latest thing is anytime I catch her getting into something she's not supposed and I say, "Ruuuby" she freezes & starts waving and saying, "Hi, hi, hi" in her sweetest voice. And then she starts blowing me kiss after kiss. It's hilarious & a rather genius move on her part. And if that doesn't work she walks over and hugs me & starts giving me kisses. And by the time I stop laughing I have to think really hard about what I was mad about in the first place. Man, I love that baby.

Christmas 2012

The Christmas craziness has come to an end & as we do every year, Tyler & I agreed this was our best yet. We kept it pretty simple around our house for Christmas & I think that might be my favorite kind. This really is my favorite time of year. Ruby wasn't very interested in opening presents, in fact at one point we were chasing her around the kitchen trying to get her to come back to the tree & finish. That poor child, being forced to open presents! It's a hard knock life.

Popping bubbles. $2.00 brought a lot of happiness. This child has taught me that there's great joy in simplicity.

This baby doll got the ride of her life all day long. She went back & forth between toys & books & treats that she usually never gets. She hardly napped with all the excitement & I have a feeling tonight will be a good night's sleep for all. Merry Christmas!
