Ruby is a half-year old! So hard to believe she is 6 months already, but also so hard to remember life without her. There have been so many changes in her 6 month that its almost like we have a new baby … she acts different, looks different, plays different and even eats different! One thing has stayed the same though – she’s still the best baby in the entire world.

14 lbs., 11 oz.

Current likes:
Making a mess Eating in the highchair

Another important breakthrough this month was finally getting over whatever fear she had of her two Grandpas!

So in honor of this great change – and proof that she really enjoys them both – here is a very happy Ruby with her Harabuji and her Papaw!
And, just because it never gets old, here’s a little clip of Ruby on her way to doing one of her favorite things:
