Funny Girl

Ruthie is endlessly making us laugh as she sports her adorable faces and her silly noises. She can do it standing up, she can do it in her highchair. She can even do it with sweet potatoes all over her face!

Baby Steps

At 13 3/4 months, Ruthie's mobility has progressed to speed-crawler, speed-climber, and soon to be speed-walker. She'll walk holding on to things and she'll walk holding our hands, but she hasn't yet taken the leap to walking on her own. But, who needs to walk when you can proficiently reach your destination in some other manner? We know Ruthie will eventually reach her walking milestone. In the meantime, we are enjoying the baby steps she's taking in that direction.
