Ruby's two teeth!

If this look tells us anything about the future, we may be in trouble!

Ruby is getting quite the personality! She has several funny faces that are quite difficult to capture on camera but make us laugh everyday! She can't quite get her tummy off the ground to fully crawl but she can get wherever she wants by scooting or doing some form of the army crawl. Ruby loves when daddy throws her in the air. She loves peek-a-boo and being sung to sleep. She raises her hands when she wants to be held and has started to give kisses...the very slobbery kind.

Visitors!

We had lots of visitors in August and we loved it! First, Stef and Sydney came and spent a couple of nights.

Uncle Paul helping Sydney feed the goats.

A couple days later we were able to spend a morning with our good friends Jen and Claire.

And then a couple weeks after that we got to see more good friends! Kyle, Katie, Anika, and baby Amira made the trip to the midwest from Baltimore. We were so glad they could stop in Sioux Falls for a little while to see us!

Grandma's Garden

Ruby and I traveled back to Sibley on Sunday to spend the day with my parents and grandparents. We had to visit Grandma's garden and take a few pictures as well. I've often said that my mom doesn't just have a green thumb... but that all her fingers are green! Her garden is AMAZING and it looks so good right now!

Ruby with Grandpa and Grandma Great!
