Month Two
Dear Ruby,
Today you are 2 months old. Mazel tov! It has been another amazing month to be your parent. In my mind it seems like you were just born yesterday, but at the same time, it feels like you’ve always been here. It’s beginning to be very difficult to remember my life before you were in it.
You now weight 10 lbs 15 oz and are 23.5 inches tall. What little hair you were born with has mostly fallen out and we can’t yet tell what color it will be when it grows back. Every day I study your big beautiful eyes to attempt to discover what color they will be, but that secret is still yours. You have started to learn how to control your world and can wiggle your body to get your chupón (pacifier) back into your mouth.
I am constantly amazed watching your personality develop. You are no longer an easily overwhelmed newborn. You wake up so happy in the morning, which always reminds me you are your Papa’s daughter (as I have never been a morning person). Sometimes when I wake up and open my eyes to check on you in your cradle by our bed, you greet me with the biggest smile that will possibly fit on your face. You are generally happy all day long and we find fun things to do together like taking walks, reading books, and singing songs. You like to coo and laugh, especially when we talk to you in a silly way or when you are looking at your animal mobile (which we call “your guys”). Each day you are becoming more easy-going and patient which makes it so enjoyable to try new adventures.
In your 2nd month you celebrated your great grandfather Chuck’s birthday (in your Packer outfit), your first Thanksgiving at Tia Katie and Onkel Joe’s house, an open house party at great aunt Sonja’s, and attended your first holiday party at the Holste’s. Every celebration is so much more special with you here!
Love Always,
Mama
