3 Months

I can't believe you are already passing the 3 month mark. You are growing up so quickly.....I want you to stay my sweet little baby forever (okay, not really, but you are going to be all grown up before I know it). You truly are a good, good baby. You are always so content and calm. You love to give me big smiles, and the past couple days you have started to laugh....it makes my day. You go to bed around 7 pm and don't wake up until 5:30 to eat and then go right back to sleep until 7:30-8. You are an awesome sleeper! You have recently found your little hand and love to suck on it any chance you get. Gavin loves you, and is very protective of you. He doesn't like it when other people want to touch you or hold you.....it's cute. He likes to help me out and get your blanket, or burp cloth for you. I can't wait to see you guys play together as you get older. 

These pictures were taken when you were about 2 months old by my friend Allison. I love them. You are beautiful with your big bright eyes. 

Just Some Cute Pictures

These are some of my favorite picture I have of you so far.

 First Sunday at church in your cute little brown dress.

 Gavin is such a good big brother.....sharing all his planes, and cars with you. ;) This was when you were just a few days old.

2 Months Old

Today you had your two month  check up weighing in at 10 lbs. 5 ounces and 22 inches long. You are in the 50-75 percentile. You just keep growing bigger and bigger every day. You are smiling lots now and making cute little sounds. I just love snuggling you any moment I get. You are such a content little baby and I can't get enough of you.

1 Month Stats

At your one month check up you weighed 8 lbs. 5 ounces and were 21 inches long. You are a growing girl!

Your First Moments In Life

You were born on September 14th at 3:07 pm. You weighed 6 lbs. 15 oz, and were 19 inches long. I was having contractions early Wednesday morning and when I got to the hospital to be induced my contractions were about 3 minutes apart, and I was dilated to a 4. We were off to a good start. I got hooked up to the pitocin around 10 am to get things going.  After a while of waiting and contractions getting stronger I got my epidural and then the doctor broke my water. After that it wasn't too long before it was time to push. I pushed for a whole 7 minutes and you  were born. Your dad and I loved you instantly. You nursed right away and I got to hold you for a while until they took you away to get you all cleaned up. Your umbilical cord was wrapped around your neck twice. You were breathing fine, and it wasn't too tight, so luckily things were under control. We were so grateful that you came out so healthy. From the moment you were born you have been such a calm and content baby. Gavin  loves you.  He loves to help wrap you in your blanket, give you kisses, and show us where your head, eyes, nose etc...are. You are such a beautiful little baby girl. You have the biggest brightest eyes, and they are still that baby slate gray color. So, we shall see what your true eye color will be one day. You were a great sleeper from the start and sleep so well at night (only waking up once to eat). Your dad and I didn't finalize a name for you until the day we left the hospital. Your dad picked out your middle name which is his great grandmother's name. She was part of the Willie Handcart company. I wanted to name you Ruby for so long, but your dad needed a little convincing ;). He loves it now though and it fits you perfectly. We are so thrilled to have you in our family and our lives wouldn't be complete without you here. Love you little Ruby girl.

 Gavin got pretty tired at the hospital. ;)
