You are 7 Months Old!
I have no idea where the time has gone.
You are such a happy baby. Always smiling and melting peoples hearts. It is so amazing to watch you as you discover new things. You are always learning. The other day, you wanted something, so you studied it for a few moments and then rolled until you got where you wanted to be. It was so neat. You are talking so much more with each passing day. You love to sing and laugh, it is so cute. I cannot believe you are 7 months old and on your way to 8! I am really loving this new stage you are in. Not that I haven't enjoyed the last stages, but you are so much more interactive and so much fun to be around. You lighten a room when you give them your huge Ruthie smile! You are eating solid food again! AND LOVE IT! You are so much fun. We keep trying to capture video of you panting to get another bite. :) -- so precious! You love rice cereal and oatmeal. I just spent the day in the kitchen making you all kinds of baby food. You love bananas! You're not a huge fan of carrots yet, but I hope that soon you will be. (I did make atleast 5 more servings!) I'm excited to have you try apples and then eventually, banana and strawberries... yum! You are still breastfeeding every two-three hours. I LOVE IT! You will eat three solid meals after having some breast milk. I'm not ready to wean you from any breastfeeding meals, so, for now, I'm going to keep doing what we're doing. :) You are so close to crawling Ruthie! I cannot wait to see you be able to move all around. Though, the house isn't baby proof yet, so I better get myself in gear! Here are a couple of pictures:
I couldn't resist this photo... you were trying to find "mama"
You're first trip to the beach
We took you to the Ocean down in North Carolina when you were 7 months old. You weren't too sure about the water. You liked it until you heard the crashing waves. All in all, it was a fun time!
Meeting Miles Darby
You are a COUSIN to a handsome young man, Miles Darby was born July 6th. He weighed 6 lbs 10 oz. We went to visit him the day after he was born. We traveled down to Philly with Ava Grace and Kathryn.
Look at your little pink shoes
Marmee got you your first pair of shoes. Shortly after this picture was taken, I put you in the car to go up and visit Ava. Within a matter of seconds, your cute pink shoes were in your mouth.
A Note To Ruthie
Ruthie,
My precious little girl. You are growing up way to fast. I can't keep up! You're such a big girl now. You sit up and play by yourself and are so content. You also roll from your back to your tummy all the time while you play with all your toys around you. You are also getting very close to crawling. You dive at everything! You would dive right off the couch if I wasn't holding you back :) You love to say "mama" and our learning more and more sounds each day. You make the "d" sound every once in a while, so dada is coming soon too! You've become quite the cuddler these days. (I, of course, LOVE it!) When you get tired at night, you'll lie your head down on my shoulder. It's so sweet. You also love to be sung too. (Really, that's been since day one) but we can keep your attention and you'll just smile up at us while we sing. You are especially fond of your daddies voice (not that I'm surprised).
The other day, to earn a few extra bucks, we had a guy come in and video tape you and ask your mommy and daddy some parenting questions. You, my dear, we PERFECT! I mean, you're always perfect and we love everything about you, but you were so happy and smily! The camera man was shocked! You would look up at him and just smile :) -- priceless. I can't wait to see the video. What a fun way to earn some money.
Well, 8 months is upon us soon. You slept through your fireworks. Let's see how you do celebrating Wedding style! Uncle Andrew will be getting married a few days after your 8 month b-day. Maybe you can show him what a big girl you can be and crawl for him. :)
We love you Ruthie.
