Ruthie turns 8 months old

So Ruthie is now 8 months old. Every month I feel shocked that we have been a family of 3 for so long. Here are some pics we took yesterday. There were so many good ones and I had a hard time choosing so there are a lot here.

 Cheese!
 "What you doin?"

 yay!!!
 "WHAAAA"










 looking for Maggie

 She woke up from her nap and went in to get her and she had sat up on her own.
This month was a big month for you, Little Miss Ruthie:
You went to the beach for the first time.
You learned to sit up with out any support and then how to go from laying down to sitting up.
You eat at least 2 jars of food and 2-4 tablespoons of cereal a day and still nursing 5 to7 times a day.
You have 6 teeth and are teething again. 
You have moved to 6-9 month clothes.
You can wave at people and sometimes you know why you are waving.
You can say da-da and ma-ma and we think you know who you are talking to when you say it.
Your personality is coming through even more as you can see in the pics above.
You are still loving your jumperoo, but the swing is not as fun. 
You love Maggie and want to play with her and know where she is all the time.
We have no idea how much you weigh or how long you are, but we know you are growing so much and are getting so big everyday!
You are rolling around so much and are also getting up on your knees and hands and preparing to crawl.
We can stand you up and you can hold on to the ottoman or coffee table all by yourself, you are wobbly, but you can stand for about 30 seconds.
We are so happy to be your mommy and daddy!

Family Vacation September 2011 (and a few other things)

I found some pics on the camera I forgot were there:

I finally framed Ruthie's 2 month and 6 month pics. Also, notice the rose to the right that my sweet, dear husband brought home to me for no reason! He is pretty great!
Now onto the family vacation fun! Matt was invited to come to be the speaker for the Valdosta State Wesley Foundation September Sands Retreat. We went down a day early and spent sometime just the 3 of us. It was our first trip to the beach since our honeymoon and it was Ruthie's first time at the beach ever. We had so much fun!

Here is Matt and Ruthie walking on the beach
Here's Ruthie chillin' at dinner

We do have a few more pictures that Emily Harp took for us that I will post after I get them from her.
