10 Month Check up

Ruthie turned 10 months yesterday! For her ten month birthday we bought her these cute little white shoes. Well we actually bought them because now that she can walk she should probably own some shoes. They are a little big but her feet grow so fast. We bought her some three weeks ago and they are already too small. Here is the picture of her cute little shoes.

This morning we went to go see our doctor. Today was a happy visit because she didn't have to get any shots! Justin was also able to come with me and everything is better when daddy is with us. They did have to prick her foot for some blood to check her iron which turned out fine. The nurse put a little band aid on it and later on during the appointment Ruthie stuck her toe in her mouth and bit the band aid right off. It was pretty funny. He said she is growing normally. She is still skinny about 17 pounds and 7 oz which is the 15th percentile but he is not worried. She is average on height and head circumference. Now we don't have to go back until she is 15 months old. Yeah!

I think Justin is trying to train Ruthie to be a gymnast. Look at this little game he taught her. Its kind of dark sorry if you can't see. You can try adjusting the brightness on your computer. if you can't see what is happening, he set Ruthie on the edge of the couch and blankets on the floor. Yep, he taught her to throw herself into them. I think he is preparing her to not be afraid to jump into the gymnastic pits. Are most 10 month old's this bold? Should I be worried that I am going to be in and out of the emergency room with stitches and broken bones? She does love it though just look at that smile. She knows she just did a pretty cool trick.

What a cute video... Ruthie is definitely a daredevil! And her new shoes are adorable! By the way, Kipp and I are definitely coming to Salt Lake! Kipps training is March 30th-April 3rd, so we will be getting in this Sunday! Let's all get together sometime next week and go out to dinner or something?!

Chad has a similar game with Vance. He holds his feet so Vance is standing up and facing away from Chad. Then Chad stands up and counts "1, 2, 3, ...boom." When Chad says boom Vance pushes off Chad's body and face plants into the bean bag/couch/bed or other soft service. The kid doesn't even put his hands out to break the fall!

We would never kick Ruthie out of her crib! Plus, Bode doesn't sleep very well when we travel, and I would hate to put your family through that! Thank you so much for the offer, though!
Fortunately, our hotel will be paid for. We are trying to find one with a separate living room to put Bode in... otherwise there will be a few sleepless nights for us all!
We are excited to see you guys (and to meet Ruthie)! We will keep you updated with our plans. I think I have Justin's phone number...

Those shoes are DANG cute! Ruthie is going to be doing back hand springs by the time she is 2! I think it's great.
