Five Months



Dear Ruby,

You are five months old today! You should look happier about that.



Big, big things have happened over the last month. You started blowing raspberries, and touching and grabbing faces. Grabbing everything, really. You're scoping out something grabbable right now.



Grabbing! You are a very determined baby. And something of a menace lately. Nothing is safe from your sticky little hands. Also, you are never still. Never. There is way to much to see, touch, or shove in your mouth. You licked grass yesterday. Then tried to cram fistfuls of it into your mouth. Then you started rolling down the hill Mommy inadvertently placed you on. On which I placed you. But no worries! I caught you after two or three fun-filled rolls. We laughed and laughed.

Speaking of rolling, you continue to roll both ways. You have been scooting backwards for weeks now, which frustrates you greatly. You never get closer to the thing you want, only farther and farther away. Poor thing. It's funny but sad, you know? Of course you do. You're living it.



I know I'm biased, but you're the best baby in the world. Seriously. You're curious, funny, and look at those cheeks! This family will never go hungry with nummy cheeks like those around.

We love you more than all the cupcakes in the sky, sweet bubbies.

I have to see you when you're home for Patty's wedding if it's possible in any way! I feel like a broken record, because all I keep saying is how cute and adorable she is, but I swear, each picture is better than the last.
