We love pretty days!

We have had a few days recently where the weather was just PERFECT and we took full advantage of them. Ruthie and I both need the time out of the house. She absolutely loves being outside. One day last week while the weather was nice we went with JoJo to pick up Kaylee from school and headed over to Kids Town for a little fun. Ruthie LOVES Kaylee so getting to see her and to play outside made her very happy.

Getting ready to slide

Loving the swing

She didn't much want to stop playing and pose for a picture

A little static from going down the slide on her back head first

This past Friday was another beautiful day, so we spent the entire afternoon outside soaking up the sun and playing

She HATES grass on her hands. I have to wipe it off immediately. Needless to say, I spend a lot of time wiping her hands.

Torturing poor Suzie Q

Her favorite thing to say recently "I don't know"

17 Months

Ruthie was 17 months on Feb 26. I honestly have no idea where time has gone. She is growing up way too fast!! She is so busy these days and very entertaining. She LOVES to dance and is starting to mimic just about anything you do. We have a lot of fun seeing what all she will do. She never meets a stranger, which I must admit is a little scary to me. She will go to or with anyone. One of her favorite things to do is walk around talking on the phone. Most of the time she calls JoJo or PawPaw. However, when they are actually on the phone she has very little to say except "Hey JoJo" or "Hey PawPaw" We have been super busy lately. We have season baseball tickets and the Rebels have been keeping us in Oxford a good bit. Ruthie loves it. Not so much the baseball, but all the good music that they play.

She also LOVES shoes. She is obsessed with them. She has to try on all shoes left laying within her reach. For some reason, every time Nana (Dustin's mom) comes over she makes her take her shoes off so that she can wear them. Nana is the only person she does this to. She must really like her shoes. The other day she discovered Dustin's boots and had quite a good time with them. She was hilarious trying to walk around in them.
Daddy has big shoes to fill!

We have been so fortunate with all that has been going around to avoid sickness. I mean somehow she and I escaped catching the stomach virus from Dustin last week. However, on Sunday our lucky streak ended. She just didn't feel good and was running a temperature. No other symptoms. On Monday, she was still sick so off to the Dr we went. He said she had caught a fever bug that was going around. It hung around until Tuesday night. By Wednesday, she was good as new. She played sooo hard all day. I guess she was trying to make up for the two days she missed out on. The picture below is a result of all that playing. She has never went to sleep without being put in her bed or held.
