Ruby's Tricks: 6 & 7 months

I just found this, it's 5 months late...

Our little Miss Ruby is growing up so fast and is quickly learning how to gain independence!

She has been rolling for a while but last week she rolled under the rocking chair and got to the wall and was playing in the electrical outlet, she has even started scooting herself backwards and is working on getting up on her knees. Zack crawled at 11 months, i'm pretty sure she will be crawling long before that!

Ruby has been perfecting her voice, she communicates through growl, high pitched scream, whine, or on Sunday she started saying "mama" and I think she is trying to say "no no" too.

Kevin also taught her to shake her head "no" which she loves to do when she's eating.... makes for a huge mess! And I swear she knows what it means, she always does it when it seems she doesn't want something.

Ruby had her first ear infection, which isn't something to brag about but Zack has never had one so it was a new thing for us! Whats really sad is that I thought she was teething, she had been really cranky one day so we gave her pain reliever, numbed the gums and sent her to bed. She got up every hour that night and would only sleep if I was holding her. The next morning I was running errands while Zack was at school. My mom called me (remember we live with my parents) and the first thing she said was "Ruby has an ear infection". My first thought was "oh yeah?" but I said "oh, did she keep you up all night?". She told me to take her in to the Dr so I did. Sure enough that's what it was! Now i'm a little paranoid about them.

She also got her first tooth. My mom and I were talking about how she's been teething for months and nothing has ever come of it. My mom then reaches in her mouth and sayd "she has a tooth!" I think we were so involved with her being sick with a cold and her ear infection we didn't even notice it!
