Ruby Ann is 1 month old today! It's amazing how quickly the time has gone. By our unprofessional measurements, she's about 8 pounds and 22 or so inches long.
It's hard to take good pictures of babies!
Aleks turned 30 on Oct. 3! I got him a chef's jacket for his birthday. He decided that he wanted to cook meat to celebrate. I'll let you ask him about his methods and menu. It was a fun day for him and a good day of eating for me!
(I think he's holding a lamb shank here)
Ruby finally got her first bath at home at 3 weeks old. It went as expected: it lasted about 3 minutes and Ruby cried because she was cold. (Now that I think about it, I should give her another bath today...)
I pulled out a step ladder for Maia to play on while I was nursing Ruby. I was looking for a distraction during the first days after bringing the baby home. Little did I know what an important part of our lives this ladder would become. She's been known to go to sleep and wake up from naps asking about the ladder. I've stationed it in the kitchen so that she can climb up and down it to eat and be with me in the kitchen. She's only fallen off a handful of times.
This is the new face that Maia makes while I take her picture. She's discovered the other end of the camera and likes to see herself after the picture is taken.
(In this photo she's wearing a sweater that Aleks' mom crocheted for him when he was a baby.)
Maia likes to finger paint. Enough said.
