We love Ruby pic

We can't enough of Ruby! 3 weeks old! She hasn't been on the ground since she was born because we are always holding her. We love dressing her in her outfits, snuggling her, listening to her grunts and breaths and whimpers. She falls asleep so happily and I can't resist just loving on her and not letting her go.  Cutting her fingernails is traumatic and she doesn't love baths, mostly showers and walks.  

 

 

Pinewoood Derby

Bumblebee and Duce! Jared worked on the Pinewood Derby with Austin and Wesley, and they sure were proud of their outcomes. In the end, Wesley placed 4th overall.  Scouts is such a great program for the boys to be involved in! They are learning simple skills and have people around them that love them. I even showed up with two week old Ruby Joy and asked everyone to wash their hands before they held her :)

First week home with Ruby

I love the pictures of a baby's first bath! We did Ruby's in the sink and I think she liked it! I made it a family event, even though Jared was stressing to get to work on time, I made him enjoy the first bath together!  She was so slippery and kept gulping in air and water. Levi and Isaac loved it. Her eyelashes are already long too! We continue to love dressing her in bows and flowers and new outfits, even when we have blowouts that go along with them. I am still wearing Jared's tshirts and getting up every few hours for feedings. I really don't mind though b/c I know that these moments are for a short time. I love snuggling with her in my warm bathrobe next to the space heater and taking a cat nap with her (if Levi will leave me alone).
