This morning when I went in to get Ruth up, she was standing up in her crib as usual. I reached my arms towards her to pick her up and she started to lift her arms to reach me...then suddenly she looked down into the crib and dove back down. At first I thought this was very strange, she's usually so excited to get up and eat and play. But as she re-emerged I understood, she had to go back for her Homba! She couldn't just leave the little guy in the crib, by himself! Once she'd snagged her buddy she happily jumped back up and was ready for the day. This girl is so cute, the things she does just cracks me up! Above is a picture with her buddy the baby fox, also known as her Homba.
I also just have to include some other pictures of her.
Her new winter hat:
And her Halloween costume:
Our apartment complex had a little Halloween party tonight, so Ruth and I went down to get some treats. She was a hit with everyone. I love this picture because it looks like she's doing a plie (sp?). If you can't tell she's a fairy. I made this costume for her several weeks ago, it's a onesie, a pair of tights, a bolero jacket made from one of her old receiving blankets and a bunch of sparkly fabric for the skirt and wings. And you can't really see her hair in this picture but it's in a cute little bun on the top of her head!
