Pictures from 16 months!!

This is out of order, but this is from our play date while in NY! We had a fun time seeing our friends!

This would be the rock wall:). 

Ta-da!

We've got mail!

Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa Cully!

We've got more mail! (we love mail:))
Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Lewton!

Ruth is thinking of getting into photography. She's been taking a stab at it herself. 

She's getting pretty good:)...

Family movie night. She made it through about 15 min. We just thought it would be fun to try to relax as a family for a bit.
Note: We also had popcorn:).

All dressed up for church. 

Big girl plate!

She loves drawing on this thing!
(PS I had this on my mental list of something I think would be good for her. We were at a friend's house, and she had a few of these that were brand new, and she gave Ruth one...perfect!! So grateful!)

Enjoying a piece of Valentin's chocolate from a friend after waking up from a nap.

Look at those new snow boots and necklaces!

Ruth decided she wanted to help me clean:).  She got the rags on her own.

These are her new necklaces from a friend for Valentine's Day. She REALLY likes them!

Trying out her new big girl car seat!

She was spinning "around and around" in this picture. 

She was giving the baby kisses:). 

Getting Daddy...in a dress...that's our girl!

We had a tea party this month! We made bracelets.

We had fun with Ruth's little friends and their moms (my friend:)). 

Girls' trip!
On our way to NY for a wedding/visit.
A huge shout out to our wonderful hosts and everyone who helped tote us around...we are so so grateful!

 The wedding!
It was beautiful!

 Can you guess Ruth's favorite part?

 :) I'd thought it'd be an easy guess!!

 I love this picture! It's like she actually meant and wanted to lean it to take a picture!
(not from the wedding obviously but from our stay in PA)
We had some fun girl time!!

Ruth did really well during the ceremony...thanks to snacks and some back-up snacks our friends brought...THANK YOU! I had to take her out toward the end because she started choking. She figured it out, but I thought if she was going to choke it probably shouldn't be during the "I-do's"!

Ruth loved the trays...she really liked the button you have to push to put the tray down:). 

I took plenty of snacks.

We got to visit/see lots of friends while we were there! It was so nice to see and catch up with everyone!
Ruth is showing her friend her kitty here:). 

The wedding was in PA, so we were in a PA for a few days, too. It was great to see everyone there as well. 

We had a play date, too, with some friends from church and from my old work.

My mom, dad, and sister came for a visit. 

Ruth loved having them!!

She got some new stickers for Valentine's Day from them. 

Still loves yogurt!

Yay! Someone else gets to ready the body book:)!

Ruth got some bracelets from Daddy for Valentine's Day!

From our NY visit!!
(These are a little out of order.)

Ruth has never slept through an entire grocery store trip...she was exhausted!! (She did wake up in the check-out line if I remember correctly.)

Sunday night popcorn!

Our lovely NY hosts!

Our 16-month-old!
