Ruthie Turns 5 Months Old
15 lbs 7 oz
4.30.09- Ruthie officially rolled over from her back to her stomach! She was lying in her crib when all of a sudden I heard her screaming. When I went in to bring Ruthie her po, I found her on her stomach! Go Ru!!
Letter To Ruthie Mackenzie:
Dear Ruthie,
I can't believe you are 5 months old! Oh my goodness! What an amazing month sweetie. You are such a gem. I think I write that each month, but it's the truth. I love being your mommy and spending each day with you. You discover new things every day and it's so much fun to watch you find new discoveries. This month so much has changed. I don't even know where to begin so I'll start with...
You rolled over! It is so neat to watch you tackle big milestones. You also tried some rice cereal and then peas and carrots. You haven't cared for any of these yet, so for now, we are sticking to breastfeeding because I love it and you seem to too. This month is beginning to be one of the hardest since we've brought you home. You are still an angel, but a teething angel. Poor thing, you are pretty miserable. I can't wait to see that tooth appear. If I could take away your pain, I would sweetheart. You cry and cry and all you want is your momma. It's so sweet but can also be very tiring. (Especially when mommy's getting ready for your baptism and guests). As soon as your daddy gets home though, you stop the waterworks and just look at him with love. You do love your daddy. The other day, you rolled over onto your stomach and then pulled yourself so high in your crib you were looking out the sides and then tried to pull yourself up. YIKES! We lowered your crib today (5.12.09) You are also practicing sitting up by yourself. Sometimes you can sit for up to 10 seconds before tumbling over. Any day now sweetie! Keep working hard.
This past weekend was Mother's Day weekend and what an amazing weekend to celebrate my first Mother's Day! Daddy watched you on Friday and let me go out for a massage. It was wonderful! You were (of course) great for your daddy! Soon after I got home, guests began to arrive for the weekend. You were baptized on May 9, 2009. Your Godparents: Aunt Kat and Uncle Blair (and Ava) and your Godmother: Aunt Katie stayed with us for the weekend. Also, your Uncle Nat, Uncle Andrew, Aunt Kristen, Uncle Eric, Aunt Pinky and your Grandparents: Opa & Grandma Stube and Grandpa and Marmee Marshall came into town for your special day. Aunt Heather was going to come, but she was sick that week so she had to stay home, but I gave her a kiss for you. :)
Your Opa performed the ceremony along with Mary Kay. It was so special Ruthie. I accidentally scheduled the ceremony over your nap time, but you were such a champ. You were starting to get fussy and then your Opa held you and baptized you and you put a huge smile on your face and enjoyed every moment of it!
Below are some pictures of your baptism. I love you Ruthie. I can't wait to see how much you've changed in the next month.
Love you Ruthie Mackenzie,
Mommy and Daddy
Look at you holding you po :)

4.27.09- Ruthie tastes rice cereal. She ate it with one of those... "what are you putting in my mouth" kind of faces. It was actually mommy who had a harder time with it and decided to hold off for a little while longer. Besides... right now feeding her rice cereal is for the practice and we have lots of time to practice... later :)

You're doing such a good job of chronicling Ruthie's life. We'll be able to look back on all of this with Ruthie someday and tell a detailed story. Thanks!
