11 months!

Oh Ruby. What to say about her. She has been so spunky this past month. She grew her 6th and 7th tooth! She now has 4 on top and 3 on bottom. She figured out how to crawl when we were in Ohio house shopping. Now she is a speed crawler who pulls up on everything and gets into everything. She loves to unload the dishwasher while I load it. She loves pulling out the magazines and newspaper. She loves to pull out her clothes as I'm looking for her outfit for the day. She loves to take out the laundry as I'm putting it in the washer. And it surprisingly doesn't bother me...okay, maybe a little because of the mess it makes but I just love watching her be curious about things and discover how things work. She recently discovered that she can move from room to room quickly and will always come find us if Trey, Lucy, or I leave the room for a minute. She totally crawls like a bulldog with her hands facing in.
This girl is so happy. She has an infectious smile. She loves to dance. Her latest move is the "Ruby Shake". Whenever she hears a song with a good beat it just happens and it is awesome.
This girl is obsessed with the drums. When Trey starts playing Ruby beelines it to our bedroom.

She always finds Lucy's drumsticks and plays her drums. She loves to make noise. She is babbling so much now. She says "mama" and "dada" a lot. She loves to put her hand in the air and say "hey!" to everybody. She gives high fives. She likes most food. She has to have food to pick up to keep her busy while I feed her baby food. She is good at entertaining herself and does it quite well now that she's so mobile. She has stood on her own a few times for a few seconds(one time 10). I predict that she will take her first steps very soon, possibly before her birthday but we'll see. She's still kinda wobbly when she cruises.
She only wants to give kisses right on the mouth these days. She also loves to pick her nose. I've never seen a baby put her finger up her nose so much. She just likes to put it in and pull it out and then put it back in again. Silly Rubes.

Ruby's first easter egg experience

Ru bunny. She always gets a big grin on her face when I put them on her.

She was an excellent roadtripper! As long as she had food she was a happy camper. Here she is demonstrating her talents of holding an apple with her hands and holding the lil crunchies with her feet.

She helped us pick out the perfect house.

 Love that little ragamuffin.
