Three Months

Ruthie turned three months old last Thursday.  I truly cannot believe she has been in our lives for three months.  I now know what people mean when they say that everything goes so quickly with children.  I also know what they mean when they say that it is hard to remember how little your children used to be.  I already cannot remember our little 7lbs. 7oz. Ruthie.  The good news is that she continues to become more and more interactive and fun.  We are loving every minute with her!

Things Ruthie is doing now:

1. Chewing on her fingers as often as she can.

2. Getting stronger and better at tummy time.  She can even roll from her front to her back!

3. Spitting up like a champion!  I swear she could win a contest.

4. For the first time she woke up from a nap and didn't cry, she just talked to the owls on her quilt and her mobile!

5. Smiling a TON!

6. She loves playing with Daddy!

7.  She's beginning to hate the car seat a little less.

Other things in Ruthie's life:  She has started letting out one little laugh at a time.  I cannot wait for this to turn into a real giggling.  She still only gets up once a night - we feel very lucky about that.  She's been in daycare for almost a month and doing really well, although she's had a perpetual stuffy nose for about two weeks.  We hope this is not a sign of what life with a baby in daycare is like.  It seems like she is also very close to being able to grab things, but that hasn't happened yet.  I think that's about it
