Waking Up With Smiles
The 11 Month is here and I can't believe my baby is a month away from being a one year old. How is it possible? Time is quickly passing and I'm doing all I can do to hold on to my baby girl as she grows into a beautiful toddler. Ruthie is such a wonderful baby. I am excited to watch her transition into a little girl. She already seems so grown up. This month Ruthie is developing her motor skills and continues to take chances with standing up and taking off one step, two step, three step, drop.
Ruthie was a bumble bee (the cutest bumble bee) for Halloween this year. We had fun dressing her up and going up to Uncle Epic and Aunt Pinky for some hot cider and some PSU football. Ruthie loved getting her hands on the chocolate (more important... the colorful bags the chocolate came in) and of course, loved being the center of attention. Below is a picture of Ruthie in her costume.

A letter:
Ruthie Mackenzie--
I love being your mommy. You are such a sweet little girl. I can't believe in just a short month we are going to be celebrating your birthday. I am so excited. A little sad as I think that you are not going to be a baby baby anymore. You have decided to quit nursing on your 11 month birthday. It was hard for mommy-- but you are so interested in big girl food and were ready to wean which was hard but made life easy. You wake around 7:30 each morning and play in your crib until mommy or daddy comes to get you. Most mornings, we have prepared your bottle and will snuggle you into bed with us as you chug down your 6 oz of ba ba. (bottle). We might get a few minutes of snuggles before you are ready to start your morning. We'll feed you breakfast and then it's play time. You are going through a little bit of separation anxiety lately, but I still manage to get ready and get to work on time. You are making friends with Piper and are learning so much from her. (Mommy nanny's for Miles (3) and Piper (1). Piper is teaching you how to walk ( you have no fear) and I believe also helping you with your words.
Oh my sweet child, I love you so much. Thanks for 11 wonderful months. I can't wait to celebrate your first year in one month sweet girl.
We love you!
Mommy and Daddy
