January

Here are a few photos taken this month. Ruby's language is exploding by the day, it really is remarkable. We are currently potty-training and she is doing really well, to say she is so young.
She continues to eat everything but has slowed down considerably in terms of being hungry/wanting to eat all day long. She has put on 6 pounds in 6 months which is great; she most definitely needed it. Her first visit to the dentist was a success, much to our complete shock! She allowed the hygienist to clean her teeth and then the dentist check them. Incredibly, she has no cavities, which was a total surprise considering her background. She is still sleeping really well but seems to not need a daily nap now. The boys dropped their naps at about the same age but with them it was really tough as they were like energizer bunnies all day long! I mourned not having the 2 hours to get other things done. Ruby, however, is content to play in her room for an hour or so and she doesn't climb/get in to things like the boys did. I , for one, am finding raising a girl so very different from a boy!!

Photos are of Tim's birthday and around the house.
