31 Years & 10 Months

Thursday, December 20, 2012

December 4th marked both Bob's 31st birthday and Rubie turned 10 months old. We celebrated Bob's birthday with a family dinner. We made chicken parmesan, pasta, corn, and garlic bread. For dessert we had Oreo cookie balls and ice cream. We also watched the First Presidency’s Christmas Devotional. We surprised Bob with new shoes. We hope he felt loved and appreciated, because we think he's an awesome husband and dad!



 

 

Rubie is crawling all over the house and pulling herself up to her feet. So she has had a lot more crashes and tears lately. And Mom has had to keep an extra eye on her as she can now get into everything. She was fully weaned by 9 months. She eats well. Bananas are her favorite but she really prefers adult food. Rubie now takes a morning and an afternoon nap and sleeps very well at night. Because Rubie was developmentally slower at 7 months, we had an early well child check. She weighs 19 lbs. 6 oz. (40th %), measures 27 inches tall (12th %), and has a head circumference of 18 inches (82nd %). She seems disproportionate but she looks normal. Rubie likes Peek-a-Boo, Pat-a-Cake, and If you’re Happy and You Know It (click your tongue). She loves bath time. Rubie has five teeth. Rubie's hair has really grown back in, too. She's ticklish under her arms, and we love to make her giggle. It's hard to believe that in under two months Rubie will already be 1 year old. How fast it has gone! We love Rubie Lu!
