Ruby's Blessing


We blessed Ruby today and it was great! It was a good day but I am glad that it is over. I was really stressed trying to get everything ready. We blessed her at our house and we had a ton of family and friends show up. Thanks for all of your support! My mom made her dress and she looked adorable. Will blessed her and it was such a sweet blessing. Ruby slept the whole time and she didn't even make a peep.
Her cute dress that my mom made, she also made the shoes and head band.

Exhausted after her long day!!!
She always sleeps with her hands up when she is really tired.

She is getting so big and she is so much fun. I had to go back to work on the 17th and it was so hard. I sobbed the whole way after I had dropped her off. When I went to pick her up, she was perfectly fine and that reassured me a lot. She is getting so smiley and she is a really good baby. She now goes down around 9:30 and gets up about 6:30. I had to go in and wake her up today at 7:30 and she was still totally out. We are so lucky!
Wearing her new beanie that her daddy bought her.
She also has matching vans shoes that go with it

I have not posted any pictures of her room, but I need too because it is so cute. Will's parents made the crib, my parents bought her dresser, Will's aunts and Grandma bought us her rocker, and my sister Mandy made the cute letters. It turned out so cute and we love it. She had been sleeping in her room since she was 5 weeks.

Ruby is a Fatty!!!

I took Ruby for her 2 month check up on Tuesday and let's just say that my baby is a fatty! She weighed 11 lbs 14 oz and she is 21 1/2 inches long. Her weight is in the 75% and her heighth is in the 25%. The doctor said that she is definitely healthy. At her 2 week appointment we were worried about her gaining weight but we don't need to worry about that now! Ruby also had to get her shots. She was furious. I thought she was going to pass out because she was holding her breath for so long. I am not looking forward to her 4 month appointment.

Ruby is a great baby. She is very happy and smiley. She is still sleeping through the night. She goes down at 10:30 and gets up at 7:00. I am very, very LUCKY!!! Ruby is still eating 5 oz every 3 hours. She has a new toy that she will just lay under and look at. She loves the mirror that is on it. She will see herself and just start talking. She loves the bath now. She will just lay there and relax the whole time. She has officially gotten her first kiss from Abe(at least the first one that I saw) and she loved it. When he was done, she started to talk to him and smile at him. I can't wait to see how they will get along when she is older!

When Ruby was about 2 weeks, we went and got her newborn pictures taken by our friend Katie. They turned out so cute. Here are a few of my favorites!
She hates to be naked!
I love baby feet


Being a mom is the best thing and I am so sad that I will have to go back to work on Monday. She has great babysitters but it will still be hard. At least my hours are not horrible and I will get all of the holidays off with her. We will be blessing her at the end of August and I can't believe that she is already 2 months old. Time has flown by!
