Week 9

Size: Ruthie had her 2 month appointment this morning. She weighs 11 lb. 7 oz.!! You go girl! If I'm remembering correctly, she was 23.5 inches long. Tom and I's guesses were both off (I had guessed 11 4 and Tom had guessed 11 6. 
New things: We received a mobile from some friends. We got it out this week. She LOVES it!! 
Babysat by non-family members while not sleeping the whole time. She did a good job for them. 
Grabbing on to my clothes and hair more frequently. She hasn't "discovered her hands" so-to-speak, but she is putting them in her mouth more often, too!! Getting closer to self-soothing. 
Fun things: LOTS of time with Daddy this week! He's had the holiday week off!! 
Ruthie got to go to her first Christmas Eve service this week. 
Ruthie also experienced her first Christmas. She was entertained by unwrapping presents. It was fun!
She enjoyed watching a football game at a friend's place this weekend:). Ruthie loves: Ruthie has been enjoying her moving/music-playing monkey, Pete (gotta love the name!), as well as, one of her dolls, Rosie. 
Being swung in a blanket...LOVE LOVE LOVES it!!
Being up on Daddy's shoulders.
Sleep: She is doing well during the night. It's going to bed that isn't working so well for her the last few nights.  Maybe she gets her "night owl" tendencies from the Cully side:). Just a stage that we'll need to help her get through.
Mom and Dad: We were able to go out on another date this week!! We went out for dinner, to Starbucks, and to the mall. We had a great time! We've just truly been enjoying time at home as a family and getting lots of little projects done around the place. 

Thank you, Lord, for: The wonderful gift of Jesus and for a special 1st Christmas with Ruthie.
