Little Monkey!

Wow, how can such a little person be SO busy??? She is into everything and I mean everything! She is such a curious little girl, which we love, but it's hard for mommy and daddy to keep up sometimes!
We love going for leisurely strolls and letting Ruby lead the way. It's so cute to watch her stop every few steps to pick up another gem. Everything is so exciting to her, an old leaf, a twig, and OH an acorn! By the end of our walks, she has both hands full of her new-found treasures.
It's so much fun to see Ruby's imagination develop. She's playing a lot more of a mature roll with her dolls now. I snuck up on her the other day to listen to her read one of her favorite books to "dolly". It was so sweet. The other day, daddy was giving Ruby her dinner and she started using her french fry as a phone - "hello?" Imagination at work!
She is also very mischievous. When it's been quiet for more than 30 seconds, I always go check. The other day while I was vacuuming, she got into my bathroom, into my top drawer and found my darkest lip gloss and put it on. It was so cute, she just wanted to be like mommy. I have since hid all dark lip glosses!
Ruby's vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. She now talks in full sentences and it's so much fun to have a conversation with her. Sadly, she doesn't call me Momma much anymore, it's just MOM!!! I'm not sure where she learned that but when she wants to get up in the morning or go somewhere, she shouts for me, "MOM, you comin'?"
One of Ruby's favorite things is going to the beach, which we manage to do at least once a weekend. She loves when the waves crash into her and building sandcastles. Daddy knocked one of her sand castles over today and he didn't hear the end of it. She was still talking about it when she went to bed tonight. She was NOT happy with daddy!
We have an exciting week coming up! Beth, Sam and Lexi will be visiting Beth's parents only about 40 mins away so we'll get to play with them this week and then Ruby and Mommy are flying to Toronto to visit Auntie Em on Saturday. Yippee!! Have a great couple of weeks everyone!

Finally enough hair for pigtails!
Why were you so quite, Miss Ruby?

Caught you!

Another breakfast shot - couldn't resist, it was too cute!
Going for an after supper stroll.

Eating corn on the cob for the first time. She loved it!

She did pretty darn good!
