Homemade baby blanket

 Thanks Aunt Kathy for Ruth's baby blanket!  It is beautiful!

Cute kids

 William has an unconventional way of playing with play dough.  He later hooked all these pieces together to make a train. 

 William likes to hop up next to Ruth when I take pictures of her.  William asked to wear this coat in the house and even napped in it.  He woke up sweaty, oops.

Cherry's!  This is one of my favorite outfits.  Actually she is almost too big for it now. 

 William likes to spend time between this bench and the window. 

 I brought out this a new toy, the 'road' as William calls it.  I found it at a garage sale this past summer and was waiting for the right time to reveal it. 

 William quickly knocked the blocks around after I took this picture, but cute idea.

Typical morning activity while Ruth naps.  William is always up for 'washing' dishes.  Actually he likes the sprayer and anything he can grab from the utensil drawer, thus the hand strainer.

 Asleep in Dad's arms

 Ruth is getting the hang of grabbing her toys and often loudly sucks on her fists.  She is starting to arch her back while laying on the floor, I think this is the start of her rolling over skills. 

 Thanks Grandma Marcia for watching Ruth so William and I could go to the Science Center.  In this picture Will was watching some older kids on a field trip.

 Will enjoyed the snakes, he wanted to hold them.  Not sure if that would have been the case if they were out of their cages.
