Pictures from 22 months!!

Playing doctor. This is the exam table. 

Still loves books!

She dumped these out and put them back in over and over again.
She loves playing with my bag of bracelets!

Can't go to Culver's without getting some frozen custard:).
(Don't worry...she didn't eat it all!)

It was super cute...she kept putting her hand under her spoon when she transferred the ice cream from her cup to her mouth. Hadn't seen her do that before. Must have thought it was necessary when eating frozen custard!

First time wearing real basketball shorts! Ready to go play with Daddy!

Watching something...probably a tractor or the landlord on the lawn mower:). 

Family picture!

Loves her piggy bank!

22 months...still sporting the cheesy smile:)

This is Moose the stuffed yak:)

Some dear friends came to visit us from IL! We sure enjoyed our time with them!

We've been friends since Jr High! 

Not bad, Ruth! :)

Welcome to Canada!

Wedding time!

Some of Ruth's "new friends" took her out for the bouquet toss.
She didn't catch it (thank goodness:)), but I think she had fun out there!

Dancing with Daddy!

And the groom! 

And everyone else:). She basically got everyone out of their seats and on the dance floor. I'm not even sure there was supposed to be official dancing, but Ruth got people going and had a ton of fun doing so!

My parents watched Ruth for Tom and I's anniversary weekend away.
She looks cute with glasses:).

Fun at an apple orchard with some of our friends!
(I love this picture!)

Feeding the goats at the orchard!

Stopped to visit family in Indiana on our way to Canada for the wedding.
It was great to see them!

Ruth really enjoyed it, too!
She especially loved the donuts they had waiting for her!

Anniversary weekend!
Of course we got ice cream!

The little B&B we stayed at was just wonderful!

Beach on Lake Michigan

Nice to have so many pictures together!

We hosted a vet student for a week. Ruth LOVED having him. She welcomed him "home" at the end of the work day and got right to playing:). He did so well with her! It was a fun week!

He even played "cans" with her!

Pictures from her time with Grandpa and Grandpa Lewton while we were away...

They brought her this and had lots of fun pushing her around in it:).

Bouncing on Grandpa like she does on Daddy:)

At the zoo...she's still not too fond of carousels:). If only they didn't move:).

Yawning and saying "excuse me"...something my mom taught her:).

Trying to sign "I love you"...not bad:).

Gotta ride the train!

"Ruth" had fun feeding the giraffe. Sounds like fun until you get up close and personal:).

:)

They brought her donuts...a perk of being a grandparent? :)

From Aunt Payge and Jordan's visit.
We took them to our local ice cream place!

Sisters!

And we took them to the farm. Jordan hadn't been before. 

We went to the beach one day (lake beach).
Ruth had so much fun!
At one point, she got out of the water, came over to her chair, sat down, put this towel on her lap, and said she needed a snack...all on her own. We all thought it was adorable.
Must have had some water in her ear here:).

Played my favorite game! Glad Jordan likes it!

Went to a HUGE farmer's market I've been wanting to go to. We had fun and got a few items for the week. Jordan also bought a chocolate chip cookie for all of us to share...Ruth cried when we only gave her a piece:)...

Such a great visit! Thanks for coming, guys!

Before the beach, we stopped at a local coffee shop I had been wanting to try. While Payge and I went in, Jordan took Ruth to a little park to swing! She loved it, of course!

Our little girl!
