Ruthie
Our 10 Month
Snow Angel
Ruthie is 10 months old-- that is two months away from her 1st birthday! How can my baby girl be 10 months old?? I just don't feel like it's possible to be 2 months shy from having a one year old! This last month has been amazing. It's so fascinating to watch her grow and learn so much. She is so close to walking-- ah! She is now waving hi and bye bye all the time. Clapping her hands and playing patty cake! And the list goes on and on!
I am continuing to try and breastfeed her as much as she'll let me. I wish I could breastfeed her more and more often, but she's becoming independent and I guess that is alright too! I am making her baby food and enjoying introducing more and more new foods. She loves cauliflower and corn, squash with potatoes and cheese. She loves to read. She always helps turn the pages and she'll point and look up at me and smile when she see's her favorite Brown Bear. About a month or so ago I introduced a peek-a-boo book and she LOVES it! She'll open all the flaps and smile as I say peek-a-boo! Ruthie continues to sleep pretty well. Two nice 2 hour naps during the day and then sleeps around 11-12 hours at night. She's been waking up early these last few days but I believe that is due to having a cold :( and also some teeth coming in. She's drooling like crazy.
So Ruthie got to experience something we haven't seen in my life time!! SNOW in OCTOBER! October 16th PA got dumped on and as I sit here blogging, it continues to snow!! Power was out in many areas yesterday and I watched as tree after tree and power line after power line came crashing to the ground due to the heavy snow fall on our beautiful AUTUMN leaves. Jon and I took Ruthie to a pumpkin patch just last weekend and enjoyed a beautiful drive through the country. The leaves were absolutely beautiful and now- by the time the snow goes back into hiding, Autumn will be over. BUT!!! Ruthie has enjoyed watching the beautiful white stuff cover our ground. We took her out to play in her first snow-- she LOVED it!!

She LOVED it! A little cold though!
As I said-- Ruthie is waving and we just had to get this on camera
Daddy does a nice job too!

Ruthie,
Oh sweet child, you are such a blessing to your mommy and daddy. I hope you always know how much we deeply love you. You are an incredible child. It has been so neat to watch you grow up right in front of our eyes. I can't believe you are almost a year old! Time is flying by.
We have started praying with you at each meal. You hold your hands together so proudly. You are a precious gem my little one.
Mommy has to cut this letter short because you are just waking up from your nap. Playing peacefully in your crib-- but I am so excited to see you I just can't wait any longer.
Love you my sweet Snow Angel.
