I finished another quilt square. I really like this one because it's so colorful. It's also great because all the seams line up. I also really like it because it has the birdhouse holes appliqued on! We learned how to applique on Saturday at my sewing class. Speaking of my class...Ruth had to come with me this week (which the teacher was thrilled about because none of her grandkids are close by). I just let her crawl around because it was a big open area with nothing to pull down on herself. However, the class is held in the basement, which means there are stairs down there. But seeing that we don't have stairs in our apartment I assumed Ruth was safe. I watched her crawl across the floor and returned to my applique. When I looked back up a minute later she was at the far end of the room and three stair steps up! I jumped out of my chair and ran to get her. I was so surprised and freaked out. Stephanie (the sewing instructor) volunteered to watch Ruth as I continued to Ruth and she walked up the stairs right behind Ruth. She ended up climbing the entire stair case twice.
In other Ruth escapades:
She crawls down the hall holding her sippy in her mouth
She crawls onto the bottom shelf of her changing table
She loves to flip through books; I hope this turns into an interest in reading
She's started crawling under the couches. This night she crawled right through the other side.
And finally she is walking! Granted she's all wobbly and and supporting herself on the toy, but she's doing it by herself! I was completely shocked when she started doing this without any prompting.
