i think most people feel that *time flies* pretty quickly. when you have a child, specifically a baby, it seems to fly at the speed of light.
we cannot believe that ruby is already 8 months old (almost 8 1/2) and that we will be planning her 1st birthday in about 2 months. she is still a bundle of laughs, joy, wonderment and entertainment. she is such a happy baby. she only fusses if she is tired, and takes naps and sleeps at night without any problems. she sleeps an average of about 15 hours a day. every day she drinks 4 bottles with about 7 ounces, 2 jars of fruit or vegetables mixed with rice or oatmeal, snacks on pieces of soft fruit, cheerio-like cereal, avocado, sweet potato, unsalted pretzels or dinner rolls. the rolls pretty much just keep her busy at restaurants and such, and when she is done, her hands and face (and clothes) are so sticky with flour and water (saliva), it hardens like elementary school paste. FUN!
she still has no teeth.
she just rolled over, from her back to her tummy, TODAY! actually, we knew she had done it before a few times when she started crying from her crib because she flipped over and got her fat leg stuck in the crib bars, but we never actually witnessed her rolling over until today. so, she is a little behind in the gross (large) motor skill development, but we don't mind at all. she sits and plays and doesn't go anywhere. it makes our job a lot easier. plus, we think she is working on developing her cerebral and vocal skills, like molly did. who needs mobility? we know she'll have all that soon enough.
check out these photos from the last few months.
she is sooo cute. smiles a lot like ryan, though she's quite a bit smaller (believe it or not). hope to see you guys soon! oh, and it's about time you updated the blog ; )-
