Ruby is now 15 months old. This is my absolute favorite stage so far! She's walking and talking and just becomming such a fun and silly little girl. She has started waving hello to strangers and saying bye bye even when someone leaves the room. She loves to climb on anything and everything and is starting to test me by trying to dangerously balance on the arm of the rocker recliner chair. She enjoys carrying things around, especially her little pink teacups. I've introduced her to my old hot wheels car collection and when playing with them she makes a vroom vroom sound, usually says 'wheel' while spinning the tires and then rolls them on her head (which is what daddy does with the cars). Ruby can follow some basic directions (like hug/kiss the baby doll, go get your kitty cat, or go look out the front window to see the doggy outside) and can point to where her bellybutton, eyes, nose, ears and head are. She knows several words and seems to be adding a few every few days...'Wow' is one of her new favorite words and just I love hearing her use this expression when I take her on little mini-adventures (which might be as simple as a trip to the shoe department at Target).According to
the Dr., Ruby is now 21 pounds and 11 oz. and is 32 inches tall. So, she is tall and skinny! She is a pretty good eater, but is just on the move so much. Everywhere we go people comment how tall she is and how long her legs are. She has just moved up to size 5 shoes, size 5 diapers, and is now wearing size 24 month pajamas. Her eyes are still blue and each day her hair grows a tiny tiny bit more.
I like this picture because I can see a bit of Alex in her face. And, Alex says he can see a bit of me in her.
