Ruth 10 Months old

Ruth continues to be a social butterfly making friends wherever she goes. She is into EVERYTHING and life as we knew it is really over. She has a very sweet spirit and is quite independent. She enjoys people above all else and challenges us daily to be the best parents we can be. We are amazed that she continues to be a great sleeper and has learned to walk! She is truly a joy and blesses us daily.

Weight- 16 lbs 12 oz
Height-??
Eyes- Still blue
Hair- Sometimes it looks blond sometimes it looks brown
Teeth- 2!
Clothes size- 6m and 6-9m
Diaper size- 3
Shoe size- 2 or 3

Likes- Books!, pulling all her toys out of their bins, being chased, bananas, feeding herself, music class, watching children play, finding scraps to put in her mouth, waking daddy up, swinging, being laughed at, tickles under her chin, playing on pillows, soft blankets, her left pointer finger, her right ear, walking, yogurt, and musical toys.

Dislikes- having things taken out of her mouth, falling, being left (dropped off), pinching a finger, laying down for a nap, whole green beans, oatmeal cereal, sitting in the car-seat to long, sleeping with a poop diaper, and loud noises.

Teeth- Ruth now has her bottom two front teeth. She can eat just about anything she wants and eat about half of her food as finger foods. No signs of other teeth poking through just yet.

On the move- Ruth took the leap of faith to let go of the furniture this month. She went from taking just a few steps here and there to full on walking. We never practiced with her. It's just something she figured out on her own. She has now figured out how to go up stairs (YIKES!)

Firsts- This month Gammy came to town and we visited the Bay Area Discovery museum for the first time. She had such a great time playing and watching the other children. It is defiantly somewhere we plan on going back to every few months.

Baby Dedication- We had the oppertunity to publicly dedicate Ruth's life to God this month. We were blessed that Ruth's Grandmother was able to enjoy it with us. We ask for prayer over her life that she might come to know Jesus as her savior at an early age and live a life dedicated to serving him.

Ruth loves helping in the Kitchen!

Trying on Mama's first sewing project! Still too big, but a success just the same!
