Ruby is 2


Ruby is 2 years old! She's such a fun girl.  She loves going to gymnastics, playing with the kids, watching movies on my phone, playing babies and dancing.  Some things she says to me that I love are: "Tank you, mommy" she says it all the time. "get me now" She's trying to say "can't get me now" and she wants me to chase her.  "Play me, Mommy". She wants me to play with her.  Usually we're playing princesses or babies.

Ruby has grown to love more rough-housing as time has gone on.  She will lure you in to chasing her and tossing her around.  She never seems to get enough; she always ends each session of 'fun' with "Again! Again! Again!"  She is very good at thanking others.  Even when we're giving her medicine or her 'contacts' (eye solution for pink eye) and she's been a little difficult, she'll follow up with a "Thank you, Dad!"  She loves to drink, especially powdered drinks (pink lemonade, tang, chocolate milk).  These are all referred to simply as "Tang".  She has also knows how to operate and asks for iPads, iPods, iPhones, etc. by name.

She's so tiny.  She has the small version of a big person's body.  It's been nice to have her be so light, especially when compared to Seth.  She and Seth are still both excited to meet their dad at the door when he comes home from work.  She makes you feel special.  I always sing to her after reading her a book at night.  She usually gets her three standard songs, but she always wants an encore of 'Beam' (Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam).  And then she wants it sung again.  Again!  Again!  Again!  

For her birthday, we had the Deans over for cake and ice cream.  She helped me make her cake.  She picked an orange cake with pink frosting and blue letters.  She was so proud of her cake. She got a little people princess castle and a baby with a car-seat.  She loved all her presents and had fun playing with everyone. We sure love our little doll!
