*The sun was in Ruthie's eyes during one of our trips and she said, "Too bright, turn it off!"
*She now enjoys oatmeal so much I wonder if she'll turn out like her friend, Jude, who apparently likes oatmeal enough to choose it over ice cream (astounding!). She gets frustrated if she doesn't get oatmeal in the morning, even when I offer her Golden Grahams!
*When Ruthie saw my hair pulled up in a ponytail she declared, "Ha ha!" I know it's short but it's nothing to laugh at ;)
*Cheryl told us that Ruthie was sad one night and when asked why she said, "I miss my Mama." This was when we left the girls with their grandparents one weekend...her declaration made me nearly cry.
*Lately she's been asking to pray for "Ronda's baby." :)
*Naomi stood up the other day unassisted...she almost took her first steps after that but aborted her efforts and resorted to crawling again.
*I heard stories that when you leave your baby for a few days they might not recognize you, but I was so happy that Naomi was excited to see us.
*Her grandma said that when she changed Nae's diaper that she would stretch her legs out and do a little giggle, like she was teasing her.
