7 Month Old Beauty

Your Uncle Phil and Aunt Corinne stayed with us a few weeks ago on their way to North Carolina. Corinne just graduated in photography and took these beautiful pictures of you. So glad she could capture your cute personality. You are about 7 months old in these photos. 

Me and You

I love these pictures of  us. Such a happy, happy baby. I am one lucky mama, and love, love, love you sweet little Ruby. 

6 Months

We had your 6 month check up today. You weight 16 lb. 4 oz. and are 26 inches long, and your head is 16 cm. You are in the 50% for your weight and head size, and 75% for your height. You are moving more these days. Rolling over once in a while, but not all the time. You are scooting backwards a lot, and you get frustrated because you can't get what is right in front of you. It's pretty cute to watch. You like blowing bubbles and giving big smiles. You are eating baby food most days. Not a whole lot yet, but a little here and there. You are the cutest little thing.

5 Months

Just a few cute 5 month pictures.

Blessing Day

You were blessed on November 26, 2011 . We went to Utah for Thanksgiving, and Grandma and Grandpa Merrill were visiting your great Grandma Merrill for Thanksgiving along with Uncle Phil and Aunt Corinne. We blessed you at Grandpa and Grandpa Gerber's house. It was so nice to have most of our family there for the blessing. Your Dad gave you a beautiful blessing, and you looked so pretty in your dress. Your great aunt Nora made your dress, and your great aunt Karen gave you the headband. 

Your cousin Mia, who is just three weeks younger than you, was also blessed that day. It was such a wonderful day. Now for the cute photos.

4 Months Stats

You had your four month check up today weighing in at 13 lbs(50%tile), 25 inches (90%tile), and your head circumference 15 inches (25%tile). You are one tall girl! You got three shots today, and are now up in bed sleeping them off. It's so sad to see you get your little shots, but I sure do love when we come home and you take nice big long naps ;).

My Favorite

You are sleeping right now in your car seat. We were over at a friends house today learning how to make cute little bows and flowers to adorn your little head. Now, you are worn out and are taking a big snooze. 

Last night while your Dad was giving Gavin a bath I was getting you all jammied up and ready for bed. This is probably one of my most favorite times of the day. I just love it when you lay there and smile at me, kicking those arms and legs like crazy. I love giving you kisses and making you giggle. I could do it forever. It is my favorite. Then we turn off the lights and I feed you one last time before wrapping you up tight in your blankie, and singing you a few songs. Your eyes slowing close and you are asleep for the night (mmm...I love how you sleep through the night). I love watching you grow, but sometimes I wish you could be my sweet little baby forever. Soon you will be crawling, then walking, then talking and playing with your big brother. I can't believe how fast time goes. I want to savor your littleness forever. I love you sweet Ruby and always will.
