Ruth celebrated her 8th month of life on Tuesday by going to the Dr. and getting antibiotics for a double ear infection. Combining the fact that her tooth came in on Monday she was smiling and happy this afternoon. I was starting to see glimpses of my sweet baby girl! How I've missed her.
At 8 months she just barely cut a tooth (how much more should I talk about it?) And as of a week ago is completely weaned (sigh of sadness and relief simultaneously - is that possible?) Not crawling but I've seen her venture up on her knees a few times (pre sickness days.) Seeing how the banister of our stair case is missing more than 5 poles and is completely unsafe and a hazard to infants and small children it's probably a good thing. Kurt will fix it in a hurry a. the day she starts crawling b. the week before my parents come for Christmas. Which ever happens sooner.
Noteworthy: she has a nickname that doesn't end in a "Y." Something I didn't think our family was capable of (seriously who calls their kid, "Austy." Umm, we do. I'm probably the most guilty. Personally I think it's all Emma's fault - EVERY name under the sun that comes out of her mouth has a "Y" attached to the end.) Slightly off topic. One day Kurt called Ruth, "Ruth-ster." It sounded so much like ROOSTER and it has stuck (with us at least.) She's our Rockin Rooster Girl (complete with song and actions, of course!)
When she's not sick she is so happy and lights up a room. Everyone in our family clamors for her attention because her smiles are such a delightful, well earned reward. Her laughter is cute and the kids could spend hours extracting that precious giggle. I'm happy to celebrate 8 months of added JOY and SWEETEST to our lives! Endless love for you my Rooster.
