I can't stop staring at this picture. Look at how fat she looks. She's sitting on the scale - 9 lbs 3 ounces.

Our Vegas trip is planned for July which means I'm in the market for a baby bathing suit (why am I so excited about this?). If you see anything spectacular, give me a heads up. I already passed on the Juicy string bikini from Nordstrom Rack. Maybe I better go back...

That's a neck roll. Can you see? Ruby weighs 9 pounds 3 ounces this week. She has had really good weight gain over the last three weeks. Tonight, we're going to let her sleep as long as she wants.

She really makes us work for the smiles.

She's ready for Dad time

Ruby was passed out after about 2 minutes of PT today. It's okay. We got the most important thing done - Ruby weighs 8 lbs 11 ounces.

She had two weeks of big gains so this week we are going to start feeding her ad lib - let her tell us when she's ready to eat. It's actually stressing me out more than feeding her on a schedule. Wish us luck.

Oh come on

Nothing new to report. Last week Ruby gained 5.5 ounces. We switched to a regular formula (no prescription - you can buy it anywhere!) and she's going after those bottles like a champ!

Ruby has a bunch of 2 month post discharge follow ups this week and Russell has finals so we are pretty busy.

She has started to smile at us and she is this close to sucking her thumb which I find myself encouraging - I hate reinserting the pacifier every 2 seconds.

Can you believe how perfect she is?

Feeding Ruby is a lot less stressful these days.
