When I came out into the living room this morning, Ruby was laying with her arm over Morris and had him covered with a blanket. Morris was so relaxed and enjoying the attention. So cute...they went on like this for a good 10 or 15 minutes. Morris used to just high tail it out of the room when Ruby was there, now he actually likes it.

We started the day by going to a playdate in Spokane on South Hill. We were late of course, by a half hour. Ruby frosted a couple sugar cookies and put different candies on top. She loved the m&m's and totally filled one up with them. The other one she put all sorts of colored gels and christmas tree sprinkles. She enjoyed eatting one of them and almost went on to the next one before I stopped her. She is a sweet tooth just like her Daddy.

Elsie spent the whole time at the playdate cruising around the living room inspecting any item she came across. Well...there was alittle nursing too.

We then drove straight to Angie's house to work out. I was so excited to bring my new workout DVDs. We did the Denise Austin one today. I think we are going to do a different one everyday so we don't get bored. She has at least 5 and I have 5, so it will be fun to try them all out. One of her boys took Ruby into the closet because he had a glow sword he wanted to her see shine. She get really freaked out in the dark and started crying. Other than that, she has been doing really good playing while we are working out. She will come in every so often and join us, sometimes she does the moves exactly right. Really neat! It was hard at points today, Ruby kept trying to hang on me or go between my legs. She did this once when I was coming down with a weight in my hand and I banged her head with it. Thank goodness she was okay...not even a tear. Scared me though.

When we were done working out, I just couldn't get myself to pack us all up. Elsie slept the entire time until right at the very end of the workout. She was so happy once I took her out and was laughing at Angie a lot and playing with her. She was just so adorable. She loves to laugh on her own now instead of only when someone tries to make her laugh. It is really cute. Angie said that it seems like she will have a nice personality from her interactions with her.

For the past few days, Elsie has been letting go with one hand while she holds onto the object she is pulling up on. She is really comfortable pulling up now and just speeds through the house as she crawls.

When Mike got home for his break before his concert, Elsie and Ruby were so happy and wanted to play like crazy. Elsie started following Mike around until he picked her up, she always does this. He loves it. He noticed that she is so much more cuddly today as he held her. She is just SO much fun!

Ruby was so tired today, she has skipped her nap so many times lately...I am thinking she is done with naps and we are going to put her down at 7:45 pm, this seems to work well for her. When she did have naps, she was waking up like crazy throughout the night and Mike would have to take care of it which is hard with his work schedule. This way she sleeps soundly the whole night through.
