4 months old already.
Seriously...where does the time go?
My- er... OUR Ruby Anna is a true joy. This child wakes up smiling and cries when hungry or tired. That's it.
Extremely happy and loving baby.....our world is so incredibly blessed. Ruby loves to be tickled, loves to be bounced and loves to be sung to. Any song will do....she just loves hearing voices.
Ruby had her 4 month Dr appointment yesterday, 16.2lbs which is 90%'th percentile for weight! Height is 26inches and she is all around healthy.
Developmentally, she's so smart and strong. She loves the Bumbo, lately has taken to the Jumperoo and can push WAY up when on her tummy. She loves her hands....wants them in her mouth non-stop. Sadly, she'd probably love Sophie the Giraff but everytime we get it out for her....the twins highjack it. Poor Ruby, all of her toys are not very interesting to the curious 20-month old twins that are always poking, kissing, "helping" her.
I love this phase, her awareness has really changed and she is constantly looking around in amazement at the busy life around her.
Lastly, sleep! She's rocking 12 hours at night. Sometimes she wakes up for her "chupo" or "cupo" as Harper calls it (pacifier for the non-Spanish speakers). And sometimes she needs a few ounces in order to doze back into Rubyland. But she's a pretty amazing sleeper!
We feel so blessed. It's incredible how after a long day of work or a rough night of sleep....the faces of our children wipe away everything. Life is quite amazing for us.....counting our blessings daily!
