Kelly, Louis, and Ruby

Our baby girl arrived 8 weeks early on July 7th, 2008 weighing just 3 pounds 3 ounces. After 33 long days in the NICU, Ruby finally came home with us and the fun began. We are one blessed family.

14 months old!

Wow, get a new job and a busy toddler and you hardly have time for blogging anymore! I'm sorry it's been so long and I will do my best to stay on top of my updates...

Ruby is 14 months old! And definitely in toddler mode. She enjoys climbing furniture and standing on it, much to my dismay haha. She says hi to everyone when we're out and about in the hopes of getting their attention. When we're reading her books, she can find and point out the puppy, kitten, shoes, cup, ducky, bath, baby, potty, elephant, etc... I am so impressed with how big her vocabulary is comprehension wise. She's still working on her vocalizations, and mainly only says hi, hello, daddy, mama, and her versions of yes, no, up and other basics. Her little voice is just the cutest thing.

Her diet mainly consists of bananas, eggs, toast/bread, turkey, chicken, fish, shredded cheese, crackers, yogurt, potatoes, pasta and the occasional other fruits and veggies, usually mixed into other stuff... Some days she eats a lot and some she hardly eats at all, which I suppose would make any mom worry. Since she was a preemie, I think I may always worry thats she's not getting enough! But she drinks a lot of milk, and her growth is stable, so I try not to dwell.

Ruby also got two new teeth (the top middle) and may be working on more judging on her lack of sleeping through the night the last two days. Hopefully it will pass and we will have our good sleeper back! I was just getting used to it...

All in all, we are doing well. We're trying to enjoy our end of summer with trips to the zoo, beach, and family visits while we can. Here are some pictures to catch everyone up!
