11 month- Ruby!

If I can find the cord to our camera there is a lot to add to this month. We have had lots of fun in Indiana and Colorado. For now here is our sweet 11 month old. 

She is constantly exploring or eating. She is still always smiling and melting the hearts of every old woman in Brooklyn.  New devolpments: holding anything that sort of looks like a phone to her ears and saying "hi". She YELLS "mum mums" when she's hungry. Plays peek-a-boo.

AND she has two bottom teeth popping through and the top are days away! The 8 months of teething has been rough;)

Teeth! ( and that hair!)

 On the phone- "hiii"

10 months!!

I clearly remember Charlie's 10 month "photo shoot" being crazy. Ru's was no different- most of the photos were blurred or not even containing a baby because i was diving to save her from falling off the bed.
Needless to say she is on the go and busy. The last two weeks Ruby has changed so much. She pulls herself up into standing using anything she can. She does a real deal clapping of the hands (loves the song "if your happy and you know it")
AND we appear to have a talker. One day she just said "baby" (bay gee) to her doll and then doggy (ah gee)soon followed. Now we have "ught oh", a very clear "daddy" and "monkey (un key)
Yes, I know- baby genius.

Blurry but standing

clapping hands

Strawberry pickin and family love

Accord, New York.
Stokes/Fenneman crews.

9 months

Ru is 19lbs and 28 inches. And hanging out in the 66th percentile for both- which makes her seem like a shrimp compared to her sister.
She is just the happiest- squealing all day. New tricks are ticking out her tongue at the cute baby in the mirror. Also,is saying "daddada."

Ru on the Go

You put her on the ground and the kid starts squealing. Really, she mostly squeals at everything these days.  It's contagious.

Summer days!

Fire hydrant sprinkler. SO New York, isn't it?!

Nude painter. In boots.

Water lab. OPEN!

Ru, not so into the water lab.

Open air carousel rides!

Ru is 8 months

Okay so ruby is 8 months. The sign says 9 I'm tired-okay.

Anyway... Big month for the Ru Lou. She had a cold or a virus for most of it but still managed to be her rosie self. She says"hi" regurarly now. Can even do some bye bye which is more of a "Babababa" and says "mum mum mum" when hungry. And she smacks her lips when you ask for a kiss. I know, i know- genius baby.
Also, army crawling forwards and full crawling in reverse.
She still is toothless. I keep swearing they are coming "any day now."
She is yummy!
