| Ruthey's New Look. |
Wow! I forgot how much a 1 year old can keep you on your toes. Ruthey is playing catch up from a year of sitting in an orphanage. She is extremely active. Absolutely fun-natured pretty much sums up her personality. She wakes up smiling and ready to play. Sometimes I have to wake her early; even then she is just "happy go lucky". We are so blessed!!! She just fits with us perfectly. God amazes us and we are still in awe of this perfect little girl that He has given to us. We are humbled by it all.
One thing: SHE ISN'T SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT. ugh... we're tired. We are hoping to go to Alabama International Adoption Clinic in Birmingham very soon. Hopefully, they can offer some advice for these sleepless nights.
So... with that... Here's Ruthey's top ten (milestones) for the week (okay... for the last two weeks). I'm telling you, all you blogging buddies of mine, I just can't seem to keep it going as often as you all do.
Ruthey's top 10:
1. She has this new look where she just glares at us. It's pretty funny. I posted a picture.
2. She has perfected crawling.... needless to say, we are babyproofing something everyday. It's been a while and there are things we had forgotten about.
3. Our dog Lola sleeps under the covers. Regardless if you are covered up on the sofa or lying in the bed... she always gets under the covers. Ruthey always searches under the blankets saying "Lola". Can you say precious?
4. Ruthey pulls all the lower ornaments off the Christmas tree all day long. We will randomly find ornaments around the house.
5. Ruthey waves hello and goodbye. When talking on the phone, I'll tell her to say hi and she just waves at the phone. She is very friendly when we are out and waves at everyone.
6. Ruthey gives kisses. She puckers up and will blow kisses too. She blows really hard.
7. When praise music is on, she waves her hands and just sings her heart out. She also attempts to snap her fingers.
8. Ruthey puts her hands together to pray.
9. She has two new teeth!!!
10. RUTHEY DOES NOT LIKE SANTA... HE SCARES HER!! We saw Santa in the mall and she just grabbed me and was shaking with fear. I just held her tighter and we waved at Santa from a distance. She waved.
