Just the stats

We took Miss Ruby to her two month well baby check this morning. While the nurse was measuring Ruby, I hear a little voice behind her say, "don't touch my baby sister. That is my baby sister." I don't think Becky heard her, but it was so sweet Reyna was being teritorial about her sister. She really does love her.

Are you ready for this?

Ruby weighs a whopping 13.8 pounds, which places her in the 95th percentile.
She is 24.5 inches long. 97%.

And you wonder why she has been nicknamed our chunky little monkey? :)

She had to have three shots. SO glad Jade was there to stand by her while they were poking her.

And so I don't forget,

At 2 months:

  • Sleeping 6 hour stretches. Dr. Williams said she is probably waking up just out of habit and it's okay to cut out her 3 am feeding.
  • Eating about every 3 hours.
  • Adjusting well to a bottle while I am at work. It's not her preferred choice, but it works.
  • Wearing 3-6 month clothes.
  • Loves to carry on "conversations" with us.
  • Hardly ever cries. She is such a good baby. We feel extremely blessed.
  • Loves to listen to Reyna. She will follow her voice when she hears it.
  • Unlike Reyna, Ruby is great in the car. What a blessing!
  • Smiles all the time. Her smile can light up a room. Must be those cheeks. :)
  • Starting to swing at her toys in her play gym. It's so cute to watch her concentrate on the hanging toys.

Is she really 2 months old already? Wow, time flies! I'm glad to hear she is doing well & how cute that Reyna protects her. Adorable!

wow, so she is right there with Brady (13.9)! Even for height, Brady was 25". So maybe Brady is hiding all his weight in his belly, he does have a bill belly. LOL!

Oh...she's so stinking cute! I love all of her hair! Isn't funny how they grow? My first one is off the charts big, and I can barely keep my younger two on them! I'm hoping we can get Jaxon to 20 lbs so he can go in a big boy seat by the time he turns one! hahaha
