Month Four
Dear Ruby,
Yesterday you turned 4 months old. You are getting to be such a big girl! Today we visited the doctor for your check up and learned you are now 13 lbs 15 oz and 25 inches long. These numbers make you a perfectly average baby, but to your father and I you are extraordinary.
In the last month your personality has exploded! The most beautiful music I’ve ever heard is your laughter. Your dad and I will do almost anything to make you laugh, which often results in us acting like crazy fools. You like to play peek-a-boo and do Itsy-Bitsy Yoga. You also love to practice standing in a wheeled walker. Usually you only go backwards, but occasionally you see something that can entice you forward.
You study the world with such care, which has led you to discover the kittens. At first you would just watch them, but in the last week you giggle when you see them and try so hard to talk to them. Why won’t they talk back?
Yet another new skill you’ve developed in the last month is the ability to intentionally grab things around you. Right now your favorite toy is a geometric ball you are borrowing from Xander and Eva Banschbach. You love this ball because it is light and easy to hold. You try to chew on it, but it doesn’t fit in your mouth, so you usually just end up sticking your tongue through the holes. You also love a giraffe your papa and I picked out for you. She is made of natural rubber, easy to hold onto, easy to chew, and she squeeks!
In the last month you’ve celebrated your Tia Katie’s Birthday, Valentines Day, and Super Bowl XLIV. It’s weird to say, but the Super Bowl will always be special for us. That is because it is the day that we found out you were going to exist. Your dad and I will never remember Super Bowl XLIII, because we sat in stunned silence thinking of you. From that day on, you have always been the most important thing on our minds.
Love Always,
Mama
