Delightful Roo

Ruby June is delightful. I say this to people over and over again. She is just such a wonderful baby. If you were to walk in our door, you'd probably find Ruby J standing. When she was finished standing, she'd wave to you and then give you the biggest smile ever. This is what she likes best. She just started to stand without holding on to anything and really you'd be amazed at her endurance. All the girl wants to do is stand!

We are working on getting her to crawl more though (which she can do very fast!). All of the studies show that crawling helps with her neurological development, but we can't get her to really care. Crawling to her is so...yesterday. Today it is all about being upright.

She eats with the same stamina that she stands. She loves anything we put in front of her (specifically meat) and she drinks water out her little glass very proudly. Kai is her absolute favorite and the two of them are wonderful together. Kai already "babysits" while I am in the next room and I hear him say things like, "It's Ok, Roo, I'll help you...." and "Be careful, Ruby, I don't want you to get hurt" and a lot of "I love you, my baby sister." It makes a mama's heart melt.

I was just saying to my neighbor tonight that it just feels so much easier my second time around. Sure, Ruby J is a much easier baby than Kai, but I think it's also because I know how fast this time will fly by and how wonderful it is to snuggle Ruby and remember how lucky we are to have such a delightful little girl.
