January 2010

Well I can't believe that January has already come and gone in 2010. I am not too sad to see it go because I personally do not like January. It is a really long and hard month at school and it seems like it will NEVER end. I have a great class this year and they are so much fun. Ruby's new babysitter is doing awesome and Ruby loves her to death.
We got a new car finally. It is a black Mazda 3 hatchback. I wasn't sure if I wanted black because it's hard to keep clean, but these are hard cars to find so we took what we could get. It is a 2006 and it was in the price range that we wanted. I have had it for 3 weeks now and LOVE it. Some things I love about it are: it's a car and not a truck (I have been driving Will's F-350 since November), the color makes me look cool j/k, it gets at least 30 miles to the gallon, and it is an automatic. Here are some pictures of it.

Ruby is doing great and she is now 7 1/2 months. She has had a horrible cough so my mom took her to the doctor for me on Thursday. She now weighs 18 lbs. 13 oz. I took her about a month ago and she was only 16 lbs. 15 oz. She has gained almost 2 pounds in a month! She loves her toy saucer cause it lets her bounce and still see everything. She still hates her tummy and will not roll over. She will sit up by herself for over an hour, but I can't get her to even lay on her tummy for more than 5 minutes. My sister also gave us a sit up toy for the bathtub. She was trying to sit up in her bathtub so I knew it was time for something new. She looks like such a big girl. I can't believe that she is almost 8 months. The time has flown and we love her to death!
