How time flies... Ruth is ONE!!!! Happy birthday to our sweet girl. How thankful we are for the opportunity to be her parents. God tells us that children are a gift and we have experienced so much joy since her arrival into our lives! On her birthday she was cruising on furniture but not full out walking yet. She was a fast crawler and started doing a bear crawl. She also was (and still is) a big talker! At this point she had mastered quite a few words--her first word was "thank you" but she said "Daddy", "Mama", "lamby", and used sign language to say "more", "all done", and "please". She also waved when you asked her to say hi or bye-bye as well as when you asked her if she was ready to go "night-nights". She has always been an adventurous eater but her favorites at this time were anything off of Daddy or Mama's plate!
