April

 Ruth is 6 months!  The couple of days that were nice this month we played in the back yard and walked to the park a couple times.

 William likes to explore our neighbors yard too.  I sit with Ruth and William checks in with us once in a while.  His favorite is to bring us sycamore seeds, they can be very messy, but we don't care:)  William also likes to look under logs for bugs and worms. 

 Our on going upstairs remodel is a playground for William.  He likes to move around all of Josh's tool and stick nails into things. We encouraged him to use installation foam for his nail creations. 

For her 6 month well check Ruth weighed 19.5 pounds (95%) and was 27" long (75%).  This month she got her first teeth, the bottom two and started some solids.  I think her favorite part of eating is sucking on the washcloth after her meal.  William is the best big brother, very gentle with her and is always aware of were she is.  If she is crying he will say 'calm down Ruth.'  He helps me get Ruth up from naps and can often make her laugh when riding in the car together.
