Ruth will hold your hand and guide the spoon to her mouth. She will put anything on the floor regardless of size in her mouth. She will chew on stationary objects. She will chew when you chew and want food when you want food. But she will not, will not put a Cheerio in her mouth. It can be handed to her or put on the ground and she will look at it and play with it and try hard to drop it from her moist palm but IT WILL NOT go in her mouth.

What the Whats?

Ruthie has cut 4 teeth before before her big front top teeth. Isn't that funny? She's gonna look like a doofy 7 year old with missing front teeth:) I've never heard of that happening before. She's on the verge of crawling. I can't decide if I'm pumped about that or sad. When she can crawl the crying will be able to follow me around the house instead of being banished to one room.

Mike is currently on Spring Break which I love. I don't even care if he's on the computer all day cause I just like having him there to chit-chat with unlike Ruth who just wants to talk about food, naps and how much she like her chew toys......okay I mostly don't care if he's on the computer all day.

I planted my herb pots today:) with Rosemary, Lemon-Thyme, Basil and chives. The smells on our deck are heavenly. I've also made a goal to have dinner at the table 5 nights a week and tonight will be night 5. I bought the Food Nanny's book when she came and spoke to the Stake Relief Society and I LOVE it. Her meal planning has help me immensely!!!! I used to get anxious and depressed everyday around 3pm knowing that dinner was coming and I either didn't know what to make or I was unimpressed with what I had planned. But now I'm a little excited and look forward to it. Mike and I are the only ones at the table but I really like the Family Dinner atmosphere.

Who can drink the fastest?

Shopping Fail

So today Harris Teeter (a high end grocery store with a somewhat awful name) had an awesome deal on 2L Pepsi products so of course I jumped on that band wagon and bought 15 different bottles of diet artificial joy:) Much to my dismay when I took lunch to Mike this afternoon he informed me that he made a pact with himself that very morning to stop drinking diet drinks (he swore off of regular sugar drinks about 3ish years ago) for fear that his eyesight will go away.

Now I get to go back to Harris Teeter and return 14, I opened one, bottles of 2L pop.

Sometimes I think Ruth more closely resembles a puppy.
