The Johnsons: Spring is in the air!

Her face kills me.

As per usual it has been a while since I've posted an update on things. I'll do my best trying to remember what has happened over the past couple months...

Ruby turned ONE!!
How did this happen? this has been the fastest year ever!!
Ruby is SO busy. She never stops running and getting into absolutely everything.
She climbs up & down stairs like a pro. (most of the time)
She only uses a bottle on the rare occasion.
She has 13 teeth.
She can say: mama, dada, cracker, popcorn, car, dog.
Knows what a sheep, bear (both growl...?) and a wolf say.
She will eat anything if she can eat it with a fork.
She could watch Frozen ALL DAY.
She likes to try and do the actions to the "itsy bitsy spider"
She usually sleeps from 8:40pm-7:30am with one 1-2 hour nap. (and another short one if she is cranky)
She didn't even flinch when she got her 12 month shots.
She loves to go outside, play with family and swim.
Loves to play peek-a-boo (by covering her eyes...so cute!)

Her grin!!

This was on her birthday!

Fun @ Daycare

Swimming with Grandma!

One day she was pushing a garbage can along the floor and it slid out from under her a she smashed her face on the ground. I didn't think too much of it because she falls often. I saw some blood in her mouth...again I didn't think too much of it because she has bitten her lip before when she has fallen. This time was different because she coughed and blood went all over my face. yum. I figured I should probably take her to the hospital upon further investigation and seeing a large cut and a piece of skin stuck between her two front teeth. When I got to the ER the triage nurse was really rude. I wasn't panicked or anything, I just wanted to be sure she didn't need a stitch or something. Anyways...3 hours later we saw a Doctor. (After everyone in the waiting room went before us...twice.) The doctor told me he had never seen anything like this before and tried to yank this skin out between her teeth. I don't cringe at much...but yikes. This Dr. was YANKING at this little piece of skin. He told me he would call the Pediatrician. That was taking too long so he told us to go home and the Pediatrician would call. Late that evening I called the ER to touch base because I hadn't heard anything yet. The nurse on the phone was rude again claiming a Dr. would never call me from the ER. Ok...whatever. two minutes later the original Dr. called me and recommended seeing a dentist. Good thing I work for an Oral Surgeon!

My boss looked at her mouth the next day and said it was nothing to worry about and that the wedged piece of skin would fall off in a few days. What a gongshow. She is fine. What a trooper!

We bought a house! Hooray! It is a suited house and a single lady was living upstairs when we got the house, so we moved into the basement suite...on the day of Ruby's first birthday party. Dumb idea. It was such a cute little suite and all was good! Until the tenant upstairs gave her notice a week after we moved in. BOO. (She claimed it wasn't personal...sure sure)
We advertised both suites to rent but had significantly more interest in the basement suite...so we moved upstairs! I love moving....NOT
I feel like I didn't even get things settled in the basement, so I don't even have any great pictures. The upstairs is still a work in progress...but it is fun trying to make it a home! Maybe one day when it is all organized I'll post more pictures.

Upstairs

I'm so happy with how this turned out!

Travis is still looking for an EMT job and working construction in the mean time. I work 2-3 days a week at the dental surgery clinic. Between work, Ruby and house things we are so busy!! Over Easter we were able to sneak away to the Calgary Zoo and then up to Edmonton to visit Travis's sisters. We had so much fun!
Travis and I are SO excited to head to Mexico on a cruise in a few weeks!! (Ruby is staying with Grandma while we are gone)
