PRUNES!

I'm sorry, but does it get any cuter than this?! Here is Ruthie's first attempt at "real" baby food.

And yes, we tortured her with prunes! (but she actually likes it!)

Ruthie tries rice cereal! Mmm-mmm!

Athfest 2008

Here's my little punk rocker at Athfest. Madeline got her hair "dyed" at the Pam Blanchard and the Sunny Side Up Band concert.

Myrtle Beach

I know, I know...poor Ruthie!

Here is Madeline holding her "Baby Ruthie!"

I'm getting stronger!

Ruthie is learning to pick her head up when she's on her tummy.

Ruthie's Christening

On Mother's Day, we baptized Ruthie at St. James United Methodist Church in Athens. Afterwards, we had a wonderful Mother's Day luncheon at our house with our family and friends. It was such a special day!
