Four teeth

Filed under: life — admin at 8:00 pm on Sunday, October 28, 2007

Ruby has cut four teeth (not at the same time). She is our little hamster and tends to gnaw on anything she can get her mouth on (i.e. furniture, mommy, coasters, books, etc..). Yes, I am still breastfeeding, even with the teeth. She continues to improve her intake with the babysitter and is napping for longer periods of time. We are very fortunate to have found babysitters that tend to Ruby with diligence and love.
We really enjoy playing with her and she makes us laugh on a continuous basis. From her dancing/wiggling, clapping her feet, imitating our sneezes/coughs, to her scooting/crawling backwards (she hasn’t got the forward motion yet). I tend to bring home a new toy from the store on a weekly basis and she has quite the collection going on. Although, her favorite toys are the orange star blocks (maybe it’s a genetic marker; the predisposition towards the color orange) and the bee pen. For those of you who don’t “know” the bee pen, Ruthanne gave this pen to Ruby and it is yellow with a plastic bee on top that lights up when pressed. The entire pen was covered in fluffy yellow feathers. Now that Ruby has ownership, it is matted, balding and not so yellow anymore.

I love this time of year, not to mention Halloween. We bought a costume for Ruby in August, I hope it still fits. We have been busy with work, running errands and playing with Ruby. Our lives seem so full.
We decorated for Halloween this past weekend. Here are some pics of our little pumpkin.

Boo!
I love leaves
