She's saying a lot more words here lately. Ball, hat, hot, baby, ruuuuby, bye bye, mama, daddy, do it (her way of saying "do it again"), and much more. She is asking questions I just can't understand them. I know she says "where is daddy at?" with her hands up along with it. Tonight Jared asked if she wanted some strawberry apple sauce and went to give her a bite and she shook her head and said "no I don't want that". It's amazing to me how very smart she is. She says "hot" at just the right time. She knows what she wants when she wants it. My mom has said "she's very opinionated" since she was born and it's so true.
She loves to eat! Her favorite is still just lunch meat, green beans, and milk. Here lately she loves cookies. It's hard to keep them in the house because Jared and I are so weak when it comes to sweets but we're just going to have to learn self control. She enjoys them too much for me to deprive her of them because of our bad habits. :) She is still taking a bottle before bed. I used the last of her formula this week so it's whole milk in the bottle now. We go through a gallon a week and that's when she's at Kathy's during the day. I love that she loves milk.
She loves to take things apart and put them back together. She concentrates very hard when she's working on things.
She's so hyper in the mornings and it's so cute to me. I love how much she loves life. It's so enlightening. I could be having the worst day and she smile at me and it's better. And I'm not lying about that.
She has 12 teeth. The 4 upper, lower and all her first molars. Danys (my friend from work) told me the letter for them but I already forgot. I know there's another one coming through but I haven't had a chance to really look.
She no longer loves having her teeth brushed. It's a fight every night and will soon be every morning. I have to start brushing in the mornings too!
She's biting. :( It's official. The other day I got to Kathy's and talked to her and Bentley's mom for 10 minutes. As they were leaving Kathy pointed out to me the horrible bite mark on his arm. She said she didn't see or hear anything so she figured he was fine but it looked awful. Ruby is the only other one with a full set of teeth so we know it was her. I of course felt horrible. Bentley's mom told me not to worry about it and she's sure he provoked it but as I told her, it is unacceptable. Then she bit me tonight. Right on the shoulder. It hurt bad too. I don't know what to do. I never imagined myself having such a hard time with the discipline area but I am. And Jared simply does not want any part of it. I guess I'll just pray about it and hope I figure out how to handle things.
She is one healthy, happy and beautiful baby girl. We love her more than we ever imagined possible. We laugh about things she does and probably talk about her every night after she goes to bed for 30 minutes or more. Ruby Sloane, thank you for being the most amazing thing to ever happen to us. Love you baby!
