6 months old!

I can't believe a half a year has passed since Miss Ruby Kate came into our lives.  She is a true bundle of joy- happy all the time!  At her check up this morning Ruby was 15 pounds, 2.5 ounces (50th percentile) and 26 inches long (75th percentile) her head was right on track for Hamilton size at 43 cm (75th percentile).  She did great- hardly even cried for her vaccines.


Ruby is sitting really well now.  I love how straight she sits- with perfect posture!  She spends a lot of time sitting on the floor with a few toys and is happy for quite some time.  She has also started rolling and trying to scoot a lot more to get what she wants.

We have had a fun and busy month- we took trips to the pool and lake, Marbles museum, a Mudcat's game, and even a train trip to Charlotte.  We also celebrate Ellie's half birthday yesterday and Father's Day.  Ruby loves to be along for the ride.  She is quite happy in her car seat and especially loves to suck on her toes!!

We joke that she is stingy with her laughs...you really have to work her to get her to chuckle.  Smiles aren't so hard but laughing requires much work.  We have been pulling out "new" toys that had been put away and both Ruby and Ellie are having fun discovering and rediscovering them.  We kind of forgot about the exersaucer but we weren't too late.  Ruby has a pretty good time bouncing around in it!
