-weigh eighteen pounds nine ounces. You had your regular six month check up at Riley yesterday. Your daily dosage has recently been upped to fifty micrograms. You still need a monthly blood draw until your levels are better regulated. You are a very difficult patient to get blood from and they have to do your blood draw in your forehead. Your doctor at Riley was very pleased with your growth and development. Your next appointment is in January.
-are standing up all the time. You have a very good sense of balance and can even lean down and get things and then stand back up. You are cruising on furniture, but I don't think you will walk for awhile still. When we hold your hands for you to walk you seem to have problems understanding what you are supposed to do.
-love baby dolls.
-are getting better with strangers as long as they don't hold you. You will smile and flirt with people, but you cling to me if they try to reach out for you.
-wore pig tails for the very first time the other day!
-love your sister, your Mommy, kitties, the water table, and eating.
-still take two naps a day (around 9:30 and around 12:30)
-go to bed anytime between 8:30 and 10:00. You sleep in the bed with me. I really don't pay attention to when you wake up at night. Usually you eat (from one side) at some point during the night. You will pull my shirt down yourself if you don't think I'm going to feed you.
-are a hambone. You get so proud of yourself and have the biggest smile (with your head tipped back).
-love swimming now that you have warmed up to the pool. You also love swinging on the swingset and riding in your stroller.
-can blow kisses. Cutest thing ever! You also give kisses, but only to Mommy.
-eat anything and everything. Your favorites: cheese, strawberries, vanilla wafers, pasta, ham. I have started giving you whole milk in a cup. You drink a few sips then throw the cup. We are working on it.
-Understand what "out of mouth" means and respond appropriately.
-Words: mama/mommy, daddy (you very rarely say dada), ru ru (ruby), sissy, kitty, "i need", dat, hi, hey, yes
-crawl on anything and everything. I have another monkey on my hands.
-Nicknames: Ruby D, Ruby D D, Ruby D Wilakeers, Baby Love, Sister
How is my baby going to be one in a month? I just can't believe it. You are the cutest, the funniest, the sweetest, the smartest little lady. You make us all so happy and proud of you. I love you to the moon and back.

| Eating lasagna (and smearing it in your hair). Baths right after suppertime are not an uncommon occurrence around here. |

| Practicing standing up. You love the wind. |

| I left the room for a minute and came back to find her in the drawer. Silly girl! |
My daughter has the same kitchen! (colors are slightly different) I can't keep her out of the drawer either! :)
