Anyway, I feel very fortunate that Ben still has a pretty flexible schedule and is often able to work at home so I can let Ruth keep napping while I get things done. Here he stayed home while Edie and I went to the Asian grocery store and then the bank. She was so adorable on her scooter with a little scarf around her neck - I took like ten pictures but none captured how cute she was being. She is getting really fast and was jabbering away about how she rides it like a skateboard.
Vera and I went to the mall on Sunday [another time Ben stayed with sleeping babe] and had a little mommy+me time. She was SO excited, literally didn't stop talking the whole time and kept commenting on how excited she was and how we hadn't done anything like that in a long time. I got some lip gloss at Macy's and then she got some at Justice [ugh I am hating that tacky store but she is obsessed! Trying to keep it balanced and not forbid..]
Rudy, Root, Ruthie, Rocio (said in a penninsular spanish accent by edie:) is now 9 months old! I wish I could videotape her everyday so I can watch it the rest of my life. Is that weird? I just want to eat her up - all her little moves and mannerisms. She is crawling, pulling up, cruising a little, waving bye, signing all done, water (not consistently), beginning to 'dance', eating well, sleeping ok [waking twice-ish and nursing once usually] and even tries to copy when I say "hot!". She's starting to have little opinions and let's us know with extremely loud shouts if she wants more food, wants to go out where the kids are, wants my coffee cup...
