Ruth has been developing a lot over the last few weeks. She has two little teeth in the middle of her lower gums (and is in the process of cutting some upper ones). She is becoming much more talkative and is now able to imitate a number of animal sounds (cow, dog, cat, lion, bear) as well as say a few words (read, mom, "dadad," shoes, hi). She is growing out of her 12-month clothes, including this super cute outfit her Grandma Diane and Grandpa Gardner bought her for her birthday:
She loves to dance to music that has a good beat. Here is a video Tony took of Ruth dancing a little to Weird Al's "White & Nerdy":
Her hair is getting really long and is starting to fall into her eyes a lot, so we've begun putting little ponytails into her hair. Tony gave his first shot at giving Ruth a ponytail this morning, and I think he did a good job:
Last, but certainly not least, Ruth is walking. Today, she was walking around a TON (albeit very slowly), and I was able to take a video.I have realized that Ruth's babyhood is slipping through my fingers. I was too nervous and uptight to enjoy her first year as much as I should have. However, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of person she becomes!

Your videos won't play. They are on a private setting on youtube.:(
Isn't it crazy how much they change right before your eyes in such a short amount of time. Don't worry about not enjoying her first year enough...you've got so many years to come(: You're an amazing mom!
oooh sorry about that, the video problem should be fixed now!
Those were great!Jana said "Ruthie's on Youtube?! LOL
Now I'd like to see Tony break it down to White & Nerdy, if you please. (;
