Our sweet Ruby is 2 weeks old now. She had a great checkup at the pediatrician last week... she's already up to 7 pounds 3 ounces!

bath time is not her favorite

Ben decided this week he wants to wear underwear.
This is how well it's going.
peace out

1st week Home

Our first week home went really well. We love our precious Ruby so much and are so thankful for her! She is the BEST baby. She is a great eater and sleeper and is so content when she's awake.

Of course, we have been completely spoiled and I know it won't be so easy for long! Ryan's company gives their employees 2 weeks of paid paternity leave. It is so helpful to have him home to play with the boys. He has taken them to the childrens museum, library, playscape, many bike rides, a birthday party, and the zoo tomorrow! Papa John & Nana came down when Ruby was born (they stayed at our house and took such wonderful care of the boys) and STOCKED our freezer with meals. Pops & GranMartha have been so helpful with Jackson & Ben and cooking us so many delicious meals. They also had my house cleaned (best gift ever).Our first family (church small group) is bringing us dinner this whole month. I mean, we are so SO blessed with wonderful family and friends.


Ben loves to watch his sister.
Sweet girl loves her swing.
Kaki and James brought over TJ Cinnamons cinnamon rolls one morning. (Don't ask how many I ate!)
Lynn & Sarah brought us dinner and gave the boys a book about a new baby!

Ruby loves to chill with her daddy!
Ben thinks Ruby should have a baby toy at all times.
We've had several movie nights! (i may be a little tired)
Ben pulled his chair over so he could "protect" Ruby while he drank his chocolate milk!

Ruby's 1st Day Home








Hospital Pics

We were at the hospital for 2 days (Fri morning-Sun morning). We had a wonderful experience there, but were so ready to come home by Sunday!

GranMartha wore her PINK for the big day!
Pops stopped by Saturday morning for a quick visit.
Ben wanted to hold his baby sister. That lasted all of 30 seconds!!! His only words were "she's heavy."

I'm having way too much fun with all of Ruby's hats and bows!!!
My dad got some UGG slippers for Christmas and loves them. He was so sweet to buy me some and bring them to the hospital. They have pretty much been on my feet since I opened them...love them! Thanks Dad.
