13 months

 She has changed and learned so much recently it is pretty amazing.  To me she is looking more and more like a toddler with each passing day!  A peek into our day would include lots of Ruby pointing and me telling her what it is.  She has learned so many new words from things from this daily routine.  Some of her favorites are:

book

wow

dog

Jack

pretty

shoe
sock
hand

She still really isn't into calling me anything close to mama.

She likes to pull herself up and slowly cruise around on things she can hold onto. 

 She loves it when we hold her hands and let her walk around.

She is  a very gentle and careful baby.

She is still obsessed with toting her socks around and surprisingly all her socks still have their mates.

She loves flipping through books.

She has recently moved passed protesting bath time!

She is experimenting with climbing.

She is testing me with temper tantrums. 

She has four teeth now, two on the bottom and two on the top.

This past Sunday we eliminated her pacifier use during her wakeful hours and she is doing wonderfully!
She helps with getting dressed.

All around she really is just the greatest blessing!
