Ruth 2.5 years old!

It's hard to believe our sweet baby is now 2 and a half years old! Ruth is very independent and loves to do things herself. Just like many two year olds she is learning her boundaries and teaching us so much about parenting. She has a huge heart and loves deeply. She never meets a stranger and amazes us with how grown up she is. It feels like she is 2 going on 20!

Weight- 27 lbs (23%)
Height- 34 inches (24%)
Clothes size- 2t and 3t
Shoe size- 7
Diaper size- 5/pull-ups (potty training)

Likes- frozen, music, candy, pretending, pink and purple, chicken, school, playing with kids, Sunday School, popcorn, helping with chores (other than cleaning up her toys), cooking in her kitchen, drawing, birthdays, Doc McStuffins, Chucky (her imaginary friend based off of Chuck E. Cheese), Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Winter the cat.

Dislikes- Picking up her toys, not being given the food she wants, having her tv show turned off, going shopping when tired.

Big Sister!!!- Ruth found out that she was going to be a big sister this year! She has kept a firm guess that the baby will be a girl for the full nine months! She is very excited to meet this baby and also believes she has a baby in her belly. Daddy on the other hand has a sheep!? (haha!!)

School- This August Ruth started school at Noah's Ark Preschool 2 mornings a week. She is in a 2 and 3 year old class and is thriving. She loves her teachers and her many friends. We have been amazed to watch her grasp new concepts and see her vocabulary explode.

New Mexico Life- Ruth is a huge fan of hot air balloons! We really enjoyed this fall as we could spot many on our drive to school. We even had an exciting morning when one showed up in front of our house for a fund raiser. We are hoping next year she might be brave enough to go in one but for now they are just a little to loud.
