9 Months and growing...




Our pretty princess is now 9 months old and what a sweetheart she is!

Some fun things about Ruby:
* She just started crawling a few days after Christmas, and is already pulling herself up onto things. Her favorite things to get into are the dvd player, and electrical outlets. The other day she crawled right up and pulled the baby electrical cover right off. Turns out we need new outlets so they aren't so loose. 
* Ruby also decided recently that she likes binkies. So between being able to crawl and have a plug in her mouth she is soooo content. I am loving it! Although she is so quiet, it's difficult to know where she has wandered off to. 
* Sleeping has also become easier for her since she started crawling, i'm wondering if she is just tired out from having to get herself around all day. I'm loving it seeing as Zack still takes better naps than her! 
* Ruby had her first haircut a few weeks before Christmas and it's probably almost time for another one. Her hair is funny because it grows forward and is stick straight with maybe a slight little bounce in the back. I was hoping she would get some curl from the West side of the family. 
*Our baby loves baby dolls and other babies. Last night I was watching my friends newborn and Ruby was absolutely in love with her. She kept trying to kiss her and touch her. 
*Ruby is mostly very mild, she gets excited at times, but for the most part she is just along for the ride and will be more than happy to observe. 
* She seems to be kind of a mama's girl. She doesn't love strangers and she loves my mom and sister but I can tell when i've been gone that she missed me.
* Zack loves Ruby, but he can be a little rough. He is very good about telling me when she has something she shouldn't. He probably likes that he's NOT the one in trouble at the moment. Ruby just adores him though. I love to watch them wrestle on the floor, they just scream and laugh, it's so fun to see them interact. I can tell when she is able to keep up with him they are going to give me trouble. 
The other day Zack was feeding the dog his cereal. I took his bowl away and was reading the paper while holding Ruby. Silly me, wasn't paying attention and put the bowl in baby's reach. She grabbed the bowl and dumped it all on the floor, and the dog of course raced to gobble it all up. Zack thought it was hilarious. I thought to myself "these 3 are plotting against me!" 

We love love love having this sweet girl in our family.
