Week 12

Size: She may be starting to outgrow some of her 0-3 stuff now...I can't tell if she is or if it's just because cloth diapers take up more space:). Time will soon tell!
New things: Making a growling noise. 
Not needing her pacifier to put herself to sleep!
Playing while feeding...it's rather cute. 
She's got a tooth coming in!! That explains the drool and the hands in the mouth. 
Sticking her bottom lip out...this is kind of cute, too! 
Fun things: We got another giggle out of Ruthie (Tom heard it this time, too, to verify:)). 
Ruthie got to have a "play date" with one of her new friends this week. Play date meaning they were in the same room together:). 
We also had some friends over for lunch!
Daddy was home early many days this week, so Ruthie got lots of playtime with him. 
Ruthie also got to Skype her aunt and uncle this weekend!! (we participated, too, of course)
Ruthie loves: Her leaves (a random part of her bouncy seat that she really enjoys). There's three of them on a ring. 
Chatting. We have some very interesting conversations:).
The light fixture in our apartment. 
Jewelry (when I'm wearing it:))
The designs on Tom and I's t-shirts.
Sleep: Still doing grrrrrrrrrrrreat! She's consistently putting herself to sleep for nap time without the pacifier and aside from a few nights this week, has gone down for bed super well. She did sleep for over 9.5 hours one day this week, but I think that was maybe due to teething as she hasn't done it since. She has also been able to put herself to sleep in the car (she was able to do this when she was younger and hasn't in that last couple of months). 
Mom and Dad: Ruthie and I went in with Tom to school a couple times this week in the evening to do his "treatments" with him. He had to give medicine to a sheep and feed a calf. Ruthie enjoyed the little outings and seeing the animals. 
Since Tom was home so much this week, I got to go on a couple of outings alone. 
Thank you, Lord, for: All the sleep progress she is making! Such a blessing!
