Our little girl is 2! We are still trying to wrap our minds around where the last two years have gone. She is spunky fun and always up for a challenge. The word "can't" is not in her vocabulary.... Though "no" is! She is so loving and a friend to all . (Including animals and toys.) we couldn't be more proud of our sweet Ruth and can't wait to see what this year has in store!

Language: Ruth has a huge vocabulary! There is not much she can not communicate using her words. She uses sentences that are 3-7 words long regularly. She can identify most pictures in books and is starting to have a grasp on colors. She has not mastered her alphabet yet but likely will within the next 3 or 4 months.
New experiences: over the last year Ruth has gone through many changes. The biggest of which was moving to New Mexico! She is loving having Laura at home full time and is in love with the country life. She has seen more animals here then you could find at a petting zoo!! Her favorite being "baby doats" aka baby goats. She is also the owner of her first pet. A kitten named winter. They are be best of friends! Ruth also experienced her first 2 weddings this year as cousin Susan and Aunt Carlena got married!! On the way to Carlena's wedding Ruth experienced a first we all could have done without. Her first stomach virus. Yuck! Poor thing was sick for about a week!! We have counted our many blessings for our very healthy girl up until then and know so many have it much worse.
