Talker

Rutherford is learning so many new words so quickly, it's kind of amazing. I couldn't tell you how many words he knows now, it's definitely hundreds. He's even started to string words together or two- and three-word sentences, like "Papa home!" or "Go to class." He gets lots of compliments on his great speech skills :)

I recently gave him some Ovaltine and he LOOOOVED it. I limit it to about once or twice a week, a treat, but he definitely asks for it a lot! He can say "chocolate milk" very well. He seriously sucks it down in about two minutes.

R also loves basketball! We played a bit at the park (although the hoops were way up high), and he runs around the court saying "bak-et-ball!" and "hoooop!" At the Ranch my parents got him his very own R-sized  hoop:

Rutherford still hasn't had a haircut, and I'm loving his adorable hair! He gets these cute curls on the sides and he looks like such a beautiful little Gerber baby. I love my sweet son so much and love spending every day with him. (And Ned, too.) :)
