Diaper. Yep, that's Ruby-doo's first word. Diaper. she loves to play with the diapers, and try to dismantle them. And the other night she started saying "diaper" while playing with it.. Ben and I could hardly believe it, so we kept repeating it, and she said it over and over!! and AGAIN that next morning :) So, apparently it wasn't a fluke, ha ha.
Ruby has always loved her bath time, but the other night, she got so excited when she heard the water running (meaning it was tubby-time) that she could hardly stand it. So, we got her undressed right there by the tub, so that she could watch it fill up.. she was in heaven. and couldn't WAIT to get in..
we're SO proud of our little Ruby! She took these first steps on New Year's Day. Starting off the year right. I guess that was a good preview for us of what the rest of this year will look like :)
We had a great time over the holidays, even with all of the travelling. We saw grandparents, aunts, uncles, great-grandparents, and cousins too! We celebrated Christmas 3 times, in addition to our 5-year anniversary, AND New Year's Eve!! (even though Ben and i weret the only ones to see the ball drop) It was definitely a whirlwind.
There is a video in progress, with but we are crazy busy right now, so it's delayed for the time being. Afterall, we've got a first birthday party to plan!!!
Ruby went on her first plane ride too, and she was a champ! Although, on the way home Delta held everyone on the plane, on the tarmack for about 2 hours before they let us leave, and everyone was kind of fried. Ruby did great for THOSE two hours, but then once we took off, it was melt-down city. I guess she was only saying out loud what we were all feeling :)
