Building A Legacy

3 Months!


3 Months!!!


(3.7.09)

3.8.09- Ruthie is growing up quickly. She is now all smile and giggles. She loves spending time with mommy and daddy and enjoys sitting in her bouncy seat and looking up at her toys. Ruthie just discovered that she can control her hands to reach out and touch her toys. It's very exciting! We're keeping an eye out... right now.. she sucks on her left fingers, knuckles, and thumb but she did reach out with her right hand to touch her toys so we'll see if we have a lefty or a righty... or both!
This past weekend, Ruthie's Opah and Grandma Stube came to visit. The weather was beautiful (in the 70's) so we took a trip to Middleburg and walked down the sidewalks. It was great! We must have tuckered our poor little girl out, we got home and Ruthie went down for what I assumed would be a nap (around 5:30) but she slept until 1:00 am in her crib and gave mommy and daddy some time with Opah and Grandma. It was great to see her sleep so well in her crib. Because she slept so late, daddy and I crawled into bed for the first time without having Ruthie next to us her in pack-n-play. (I was nervous though... and a little sad) Ruthie woke up around 1 am and had a little food before heading right back to bed and slept until 6 am!! GO RU!! Grandma then came and grabbed her and let daddy and I get a few more zzz's.
Also... we have some very exciting new!!! Ruthie is going to have a cousin!! A boy!! Ah! Uncle Nat and Aunt Heather are having a boy!!! We are so excited!


Dear Ruthie--

I can't believe how quickly you are growing into a little girl. Pretty soon you will be crawling and daddy and I are so excited! You are now holding your head up pretty much all on your own. When you are in your bouncy seat and lying back on mommy's chest, you'll pull yourself up so you can see the world! It is so neat! You are such a joy! I know mommy says that a lot, but you are. This morning, you woke up smiling and cooing. It was so exciting. I pulled you into bed with us and played with you before feeding you your morning breakfast. It was so neat! We went to church this morning and you just smiled and sat there like a big girl. Mommy danced and sang with you and you took it all in. :) You have a "favorite"!!! We must not leave home or try to put you down without your puppy. I don't know what you'll call it someday... but you take every nap with your puppy and grandma's blanket. You'll rub it up against your face and fall fast asleep! We love you so much Ruthie.

Love, Momma and Dadda
