New things: She enjoys her hair being stroked while feeding.
We've started focusing on a letter of the alphabet each week. This week was B...we baked, went to a basketball game, went to a breakfast, and did lots of other things related to B. It's just something to help structure/guide our weeks.
Babysitters over the course of feedings (it's been awhile since we've done that).
Fun things: Ruthie has been getting super excited when Tom gets home from school. She smiles, squeals, and flaps her arms. It's precious! Tom goes into the bathroom to wash his hands first, and she watches him exit and starts to fuss/cry for him. What a great way to be welcomed home!
Ruth got to go with me to work a little this week to see everyone. It was so much fun!
Ruthie and I got to go to the Easter breakfast and egg hunt at church. She participated in the egg hunt but wasn't really interested in the eggs at all. She was, however, very interested in the food. Someone was holding her, talking to someone else, and Ruth was eyeballing/making noises toward the other person's plate of food:).
We enjoyed a lovely service at church on Easter Sunday; had a wonderful lunch with some dear friends (along with an egg hunt); and enjoyed some family time and our own egg hunt in the evening. We also got to go on a nice walk as a family on Easter. It was a GORGEOUS day!

We had a friend come over to help us make Easter sugar cookies! Ruth had a great time watching, playing with sprinkles, and playing in her highchair while we worked away.
One of my friends and her new little one came over this week. This was our first time to meet him! We enjoyed their company and getting to catch up!
We got to go to the vet school's annual staff vs. faculty basketball game this week! Ruth wore her tootoo that her Aunt Maddy made for her with her vet bib and her Cornell shirt. She was all decked out for the occasion. She quite enjoyed the activity of the game but jumped almost every time the crowd cheered. Ruth got to go with me to work a little this week to see everyone.

Ruthie loves: She has liked this for awhile, but she loves to hang her head upside down. For example, if I'm sitting and she's on her back on my thighs, she enjoys having her head hanging down my knees. She'll do it multiple times in a row or just hang there for awhile. It's funny:).
Attention! She loved being around all my students! She was tired and hungry but went right to them and just loved the interaction.
Her Easter basket! I had a little basket that I turned into her Easter basket by adding ribbons. It was fun! She kept trying to get her hands on it while I was working on it.
Our friend Miss Hannah who helped us make the cookies this week. She played with and sang to her. Ruth REALLY enjoyed her company!

Sleep: Still going well! Still working on a nap schedule. She's falling asleep in the car so well now...which can be nice and not so nice at the same time (such as when she falls asleep, and we're on our way to put her down for a nap). But we'll take it because she's at least falling asleep easily!!
Mom and Dad: Still a busy rotation for Tom. He sure did enjoy the basketball game this week, though! He was able to get off for Easter, too!! I went in to work a few days this week to help cover. It was so nice to see everyone. Some of our dear friends were willing to watch her for us. She took a bottle the first time around; a bit the second time around; and not at all the final time around. She learned!
Thank you, Lord, for: Being able to see my friends from work again! It was just nice to see them all again! What a blessing work has been to us these past few years!
