(Shame on us – we are writing this 5 month recap on the day of her 6 month birthday!)
If we could sum up this month in one word, it would be FUN. Ruby is just cracking us up these days! She is so animated (and so opinionated!) already – it’s amazing. She giggles … she plays … she melts our hearts.
Ruby’s current stats:
We will find out more at her 6 month appointment, but she’s wearing her 3-6 months clothes and size 2 diapers (definitely a step up!)
Current likes:
*BATHTIME!
*Cruising around in her stroller while Mommy & Daddy do their evening run.
*Rolling … and rolling … and rolling!
She rolls in every direction, all across the room (and underneath tables!)
*Singing “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” and “Itsy Bitsy Spider”
*Petting the kitty
Current dislikes:
*Being in the car seat (still)
*Not being paid your full, undivided attention
*Taking afternoon naps
Notable Events:
*Participating in her 1st 5K!
*Visiting the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific
*Sitting up on her own (for a few seconds)
*1st Easter
*Attending birthday parties for her friends Violet, Indy & Justin
Of course, Easter was a big celebration this year. We celebrated with my family the day before and Ruby had a ton of fun with all of her cousins:
She loves her Auntie Shirley & Uncle Eric:
And of course, she was spoiled by Grandma & Papaw and got her very 1st Easter Basket with all kinds of goodies!
On Easter morning, we helped Ruby discover her basket left by the Easter Bunny! Of course, she was way more into the plastic eggs that were inside as opposed to anything else. :)
Did the Easter Bunny leave those Peeps for Ruby … or Mommy?
Daddy shows Ruby the jar of baby food in her basket (someone’s starting solids now!)
The celebrations just kept on coming, as Halmoni came to visit next.
Halmoni can’t resist buying Ruby gifts …
And they’re always pretty dresses!
We feel like huge jerks, but later that day, we ended the holiday by having dinner with Harabuji – and we forgot to bring the camera. :( We will post pics of Ruby with her Harabuji next time, we promise!
And finally, Ruby sure is working on her crawl these days. The video is kinda long, but you can see at about 35 seconds how she’s pulling her knees forward and trying to scoot. If you like cute babies that reach for toys, you will like this video.
