One

The day has come and gone...you turned one! We are here at Grandma and Grandpa Merrill's house for September and October while your dad finishes his last two externships. We miss him so much, but are glad to be here with some family. So, we celebrated your birthday here. You loved your cake and couldn't wait to get your hands on it. Your dad was able to be with us via skype.

I feel so blessed to be your mom Ruby. You are such a happy baby, and make me smile every time I see you. You bring so much joy into my life. I love coming into your room when you wake up in the morning and you are rolling around snuggling and playing with your blankies. You always greet me with a big smile. You go to bed so well. I just lay you down and you put yourself to sleep. I love watching you play with your brother, and how he makes you smile and laugh. You two are the most important things in my life. So glad you became a part of our family one year ago. I love you so much and am so happy that I get to spend my days with you.

Some of the things you love/do right now are:

 

head butts

go-gurts in the morning with Gavin

showing me where your belly button is

stuffed animals

almost walking...you have taken some steps, and can do it, but crawling is quicker ;)

you can scream pretty loud

smoothies
