So, i never gave an update on Ruby Belle and how wonderful she is at 1 1/2!! (i'm almost 2 months behind). She truly is a blessing to have in our lives and it's amazing that every day is more fun and more fun!
1 1/2 yr stats:
(Justin took her to the doctor since I was out of town and he doesn't remember the measurements)
BUT, basically, she's 25th percentile for height, 10th for weight and 50th for head circumference. She ain't big, that's for sure!
*She has adjusted well to her new home state, city, and now permanent residence!!! (she LOVES the new house and the wood floors! she runs all through the house all day long...i think just to hear her feet pitter-patter)
*loves to play (of course!)
*loves even more to play outside!!!
*loves to run more than walk (she RUNS everywhere she goes! and in circles around the house a lot of days!)
*can say only a handful or 2 of words (that we can understand), but has MANY conversations with lots of inflection, etc. I'm going to make more of an effort to start working with her on really saying words though.
*eats well most days, but well is relative.
-we are down to almost no veggies (the most she gets is the tomato sauce she eats w/lasagna and the ketchup she eats on chicken nuggets! I know, I'm a dietitian - she should eat better, but since she turned about a year old or so, she has been refusing all veggies on most occasions. She ate broccoli the other day and will eat green beans every once in a while. sad, but i count on the ketchup she eats by the spoonful sometimes! it's ridiculous, i know!!!
-she would LOVE to eat the raw carrots I snack on, but I am deathly afraid of her choking on them, so that's a no-go right now!
-loves carbs. Just like her mamma and most women ;-)
-likes most fruit
-supposedly she eats well at school...veggies and all sometimes...?!?! I sure hope so!
-has a new habit of chewing a spitting things back out...especially melons. so, i have a 1 1/2 yr old with an eating disorder!
-likes to feed herself mostly
*Breakfast - 9am (sometimes a snack before day care), Lunch - 11am, Snack 2:30 pm, Dinner 6pm). Weekends may vary!
*still wearing some 12 month clothes...she's not exactly big or tall!
*getting ready to move out of the crib (to make room for Baby Boy!)
*getting ready to potty train!!! (hopefully)
*goes down easily at night and usually sleeps well
*bed time is 8-8:30pm and she is usually up around 7am
*takes 1 nap a day usually (usually 2 hours - give or take)
*just brought the cloth diapers back out again (did not mess w/them during our move and stay w/my brother!)
Here are just a few pics from the spring and Easter!

Ruby Belle is so beautiful! Love the pic of her and your mom together. So sweet. =)
You are such a hippie with your cloth diapers!!
Also, I would like to point out how RB not only runs, but she runs with such gusto! Her arms bent at the elbows, swinging back and forth. Hilarious to watch!
thanks, Meryl!!! :-) sweet little miss claudia is so precious herself!! i just love her eyes and those beautiful eyelashes!!
ha!! thanks, Steph!! i know i have a little tree-huggin' hippie in me ;-) it only comes out every once in a while, but it's there!!
and yes, runs with Gutso is great!! it's the best when she actually kinda hunches down and looks like she's gonna do a "sneak attack!"
