Baby Bumps = Baby Black & Blue

It's amazing how when Ruth decided to walk, she walked. It didn't take long, she had the steps for success she just needed her desire to match it (exactly like Spencer and potty training.) So just like I knew it would happen, she has grown up over night just by tottering around this joint. Tottering really is the best way to describe her walk. Chunky little legs with wide steps back and forth. It's adorable! Naturally she has taken her fair share of tumbles. Yesterday while she was sitting on my lap she fell forward and hit her face on the desk. The result is a small back eye. I couldn't get a good picture of it but somehow she still manages to be adorable.

A few things I love about Ruth right now:

~As she totters around she'll look over at you and put her head on her shoulders and cheese out. The head on the shoulder smile is always a heart breaker!

~ She adores her siblings. She will look up to them with big eyes and watch what they are doing. She loves to be included in their games, and laugh with them.

~ You can regularly find her with a color pencil (or any writing utensil for that matter)and coloring book or piece of paper coloring. She has watched her older sister color every day and she knows just what to do. She size and focus makes the whole thing quite precious. My favorite is when the girls color together.

Like I always say, "I love the stage they are in right now." She's so much fun!
