Happy One Month Birthday Rubina!

Thank you Ruby for the most wonderful month of our lives. We love you so much already and find new things to love about you every day. Love, Momma and Daddy

One Month Visit

Ruby just got back from her one month doctor visit, and her measurements merely reinforce what we already knew: she's a big girl.

• Length: 23.25 inches | 98th percentile
• Weight: 10 lb 15 oz | 93rd percentile
• Head: 39 cm | 89th percentile

Whew! As you can tell, Emilia and Ruby have been spending a lot of quality time together feeding. Which is what they're doing as I type this.

Ruby Albina's First Christmas

Ruby's first Christmas was spent at our house in Austin, with family coming in from all over the country. Not only did Ruby get to meet Aunt Lo, Uncle Jacob, and the great-grandparents, but she also got to spend some quality time with her grandparents again. She received a plethora of beautiful gifts, including her new favorite book "Tea for Ruby." I'm sure it's one that we'll be reading again and again over the next few years.

We spent most of the week hanging out at home, watching football and playing cards. Ruby loved taking her naps in her great-grandmother's lap- let's hope she adjusts to napping in her crib again now that all the company is gone :)

Some pictures from the week...

Merry Christmas!

Honestly

Does this look like a 20-day old baby? Me thinks not.

All tuckered out

After a long afternoon of crying, eating, and pooping, it's time for a nap.

Slight confusion

Oh, Ruby. My nose is not a nipple, so putting it in your mouth will not accomplish anything. Plus, as Mom said, "snot comes out of there, not milk."
