Anna Ruth: 9-months old

Today Anna Ruth is 9-months old!

Oh my!  She is growing up so fast.

This is the first time she has had a bow in her hair.

Anna Ruth loves to take baths, swing, clap, and dance.

She started crawling on February 6th and seems to be constantly plotting her next move.

Anna Ruth has increased the amount of baby food she eats.  She loves any kind of veggie and is skeptical of most fruits.  She loves oatmeal and wants nothing to do with any kind of puff or cheerio.

One of her favorite evening activities is to listen to music and dance with Dave and Joshua.

She has 4 teeth (two on the bottom in the middle and two on top, the middle right tooth, which appears to be giant in size, and the one to the right of it.)  There are 2 more teeth that will surely make their debut in the next few days.  I am grateful that the discomfort of teething is not something we remember as adults because baby girl is miserable and chewing on anything she can get in her mouth.

Still sweet spirited and content, Anna Ruth has brought a new level of fun to our house.

We are hoping for drier, warmer weather so Joshua can begin soccer again.  He has had 6 practices and 1 games cancelled so far...maybe next week will be better?
