This summer has been flying by. I can't believe that it's already July! July means fireworks, and watermelon, BBQs and air conditioners.... July also means Ruby is 8 months old, and my sweet girl simply can't be that old already. As much as I imagine she is still my teeny tiny baby, she is anything but. 7 months brought us words, 2 more teeth, self-feeding, wild, unbridled baby squeals, and an army crawl that would give any soldier in boot camp a run for their money.
As I was trying to capture a sweet 3 toothed smile for everyone - the faces Ruby was giving me amidst my pleas and silly faces and fake sneezes to make her smile reminded me of a comic I used to read as a kid. Calvin and Hobbes was one of my favorites - and Calvin's dad was forever trying to get Calvin to pose for one "nice" Christmas card photo.... Here is what Calvin gave him:
I put together my own version of what my "film" looked like after I downloaded my photo session and there were some striking resemblances :
I didn't get a smile in the bunch! But i did capture this sweet little signature "mmm" grin:
And this determined little face showing me that she can, in fact, pull herself up to a standing position in her playpen if she feels so inclined:
And a guilty "I wasn't doing anything, mom, I swear" face - that's becoming all too familiar:
Oh... and have I mentioned the potatoes?
Or that maybe, just maybe, because the regular potatoes were so fun we had to try sweet potatoes?
We need to invest in a higher high chair because Diesel is all too willing to be "helpful" in the clean up phase.
I found a picture of this sweet little girl as I was sifting through photos...
Then thought about how this sweet baby girl sees that same Boppy pillow as a mere speed bump in her never ending quest to seek and freak out Diesel....
I hope this post appeases the picture fix you've been craving. :) We love you all a lot!
Have a safe and Happy 4th of July Weekend!
