Watch Ruby Grow: 30-36 Weeks

I admit I did have to cheat a little to get all these pictures... not all of them are exact!

 

Right now we are battling the worst diaper rash (accompanied by diarrhea) I have ever seen! We are 99.9% sure it's from apples, (I had the same thing when I was a baby) but it's been 4 days since I've given her applesauce and the diarrhea has not gone away! This weekend was busy with us babysitting for a family, so poor Ruby kind of got the shaft and we didn't feed her any solids and she's hardly had any water (besides what is mixed with her formula, duh) for a few days, so today I gave her some water and in one sitting she downed just about 2 ounces. Oops... bad mom award right here! I'm hoping that has something to do with it, but if not, we are going to the doctor next week and if things are cleared up by then hopefully the Doc will have some answers. In the meantime I am getting lots of snuggles which is sweet and sad at the same time.

Other than that, Ruby is awesome! Getting funnier and funnier all the time, loves to blab away to herself, loves her johnny jumper, always tries to go for the stairs (I NEED A BABY GATE!) She did end up going down the stairs at my aunts house one day. she made it down 4 before I snatched her... ya and they are hardwood so that was awesome of me. Add that to falling off the bed twice, falling of the couch, out of her swing, falling backwards out of her bouncy chair... ya please don't call child protective services I swear I'm a good mom. The good news is, she can climb up them, as long as one of us is standing behind her in case she tries to abandon ship halfway through.
She's a mama's girl as long as she can see me, but if I'm out of sight she's good. Loves the bath, as most babies do I suppose. Looooooves walks and we don't even attempt to put her in the stroller in her car seat cause she just LOVES to sit facing forward and check things out. it's so funny and DANG CUTE! Sometimes if I just really need to get out of the house I just head down to the mall and walk around cause she loves it and I love looking at all the stuff I can't afford! (ha. ha ha.) I just love her and can't believe that I love her more and more ever day! Sometimes I just wanna squeeze her so hard because I love her so much! (love overload)
