Life with Ruth

Life with Ruth these days includes...

~eating 2-4 pieces of fruit a day.
~giving kisses and "making the kissy noise" according to Daddy.
~learning to pray.
~still not being quite sure of Calvin. He does still jump on her, in her defense.
~calling herself "Ruthie".
~talking like a champ. We were talking just last night at how well she talks. She pronounces her words so well, has such a large vocabulary, and puts 4 words together now.
~loving Dinah and John. Dinah can now pick her up and Ruth just wraps her legs around her and hangs on for dear life.
~saying "cheese" for the camera.
~finding little toys and being attached to them for several days.
~sharing. Of course she has to share being the third child, but if she has a toy that belongs to Dinah or John and they ask, "May I have it, please?", she gives it with no hesitation.
~putting toys in empty plastic mayo or jelly or pb jars and carrying them around, taking them out, putting them back again.
~using markers to color all over herself.
~being very independent. She must do everything Dinah and John do. Literally.
~asking to pray for Poppy, Mimi, and Uncle Wes in nighttime prayers.
~being a "hip baby" as Daddy calls her. Yep, she likes to be carried or held a lot of time. And yes, I'm to blame. :)
~sitting on the couch outside to stay away from Calvin.

What a sweet little girl the Lord blessed us with when He gave us you, Ruth Amelia Mueni Roberts! We love you to pieces!
