To be 18 months


Ruth has really been fun to watch these past few weeks. She fully desires independence in getting dressed (this includes putting on shoes, of course), sitting up to the table, eating, and even washing her hands. My favorite thing about Ruth is that she loves to sing. I will often hear her in the backseat of the car singing away to the tunes that we play. It is all jibberish except for a handful of recognizable words. Her favorite songs so far are "Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam" and "Follow the Prophet". Though the words don't come out quite right, she definitely knows every word. The other funny thing about Ruth is that she is a quite keen on being tidy. Only one toy may be in the bath at a time, the windows must be regularly 'cleaned' with bubble juice, and when mommy says to clean up, CLEAN UP!

"down" means up
"be" means blanky
"nana" means food
"Pie-Pie" means Pilot

It is interesting to see how different girls are from boys. She hates being tossed, swung, or tipped upside down. She has a huge fascination with anything that colors. She is good at managing things for the boys (ie finding lost shoes or toys). I sure love my little Ruth!

My kids miss that little girl so much - they still often talk about Ruth. Such a cutie!
