Ruby June

Seriously, Ruby June just dazzles...she is full of energy, excitement, and light. She is running, smiling, and following her big brother wherever he goes.
She is also exploring: yesterday, Kai yelled, "Dirt Emergency," and I came out to find her digging in my plants with dirt everywhere (including her mouth- yuck).
She eats everything we eat and I no longer have to prepare anything special for her. In fact, she uses a spoon and fork now and don't even try to help her! She doesn't want anything cut up and she certainly doesn't want any help.
She loves to nurse and is up still in the middle of the night for a little "breast milk sandwich" snack. She also loves to cuddle and read books and hang out in the sling while I run around town. We were grocery shopping this week and I couldn't stop smiling watching her push around the big cart while adding things to the cart (the underneath part). She was intent to do her part and content to be next to my side.
My mom ("Nonny") continues to be one of her favorite people. Today, while Nonny watched her, they walked up and down the block while Ruby June picked dandelions.
Happy 14 months , Ruby June! You are our little magic.

Is this a magical age! We're having a similar experience with Noah. He may be a bit more mellow than RJ, but he's such a snuggly happy love. Almost makes me want another -- but not quite...

She's still about as bald as Jasper! When will they get hair?
I love those chubby little legs in the first two shots. Too cute!! She and Jasper could pick dandelions together. We are addicted. And oh, yes, we love to pick up handfuls of dirt from the garden and bring it into the kitchen and release it onto the floor! Troublesome twosome they are!
