officially a toddler now, ruby is really coming into her own. It is funny how you realize (when around other babies) that things you just thought of as normal baby behavior, are actually not universals, but part of your baby's personality. Then again, if you asked me to describe ruby's personality to you, i would have to use other babies i know to define it, such as "she isn't as shy as eva, but not as outgoing as max. she is gentler than libby, but not a pushover either."after ruby's love affair with crayons at playgroup last week, david and i went and bought her some of her very own. it took us 4 stores to find crayolas, which i couldn't believe! we had a roll of paper and let ruby go for it on the kitchen floor, which she really loved. she is really into boxes and containers right now, so half the fun of coloring is putting the crayons back in their container. let's hope this fascination with putting things away sticks around for a while!
