7 Months Old!


Dear Ruby,

You are now 7 months old and SO full of spunk! As usual we've had a fun month full of "firsts". You celebrated your first Thanksgiving, sat at the table for the first time, had your first sleepover, met Santa for the first time, and finally established a solid nap routine.

Your first Thanksgiving

This month you mastered the art of sitting up which was so fun to see. You spent HOURS each day sitting and playing with your toys. Daddy and I have loved watching you squeal with joy as you flap your arms and grab your toys. You just look like such a big girl now! Now that you are sturdy of course you want to crawl. You've been army crawling lately which is exciting but at the same time a little scary. Yikes! Once you are officially crawling I KNOW life is going to change drastically.

Another first, this month you got your first teeth! Your two bottom teeth came in at about 6.5 months. Daddy found them a few Saturday morning's ago. I can't believe I wasn't even aware they were on their way?!?! You didn't drool or have any bad nights so we were so surprised to see them! They are so cute and make your smile just that much more adorable.

These days you are chewing on anything and everything however you have really created quite a bond with your "money". I think it's hilarious and Daddy is just a LITTLE worried that out of all your toys the money is your favorite. A sign of what's to come maybe?

A picture of you with two favorites - your money & Connor!

This month we had lots of fun celebrating the Christmas season. You did a great job with Santa, in fact you saw him a few times. Mommy and Daddy taught you how to pick out the perfect tree, you had your first gift exchange, and even helped mommy host a cookie exchange with a few of your friends and their moms.

Cereal eating is going MUCH better than it was just a couple of weeks ago. Your tummy has now adjusted and you are finally letting mommy be in charge of the spoon. Now if you would just keep your hands out of your mouth....

This is a picture of what I've been dealing with - you are a messy eater!

Ruby, we are looking forward to all the milestones, events and holidays we have ahead of us in 2010. I can't believe I'll be planning your 1st birthday party soon. Any requests? Barney? (Wow - I NEVER thought I'd even entertain that thought). That's how much we love you girl.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
