3 months old

Anna Ruth is 3 months old!

 

She is a big girl.  She appears to be twice the size of the other kids in her class (even those who are several months older than her).

Anna Ruth loves to sleep (Praise the Lord!).  She sleeps well at night only waking once and takes lots of naps during the day.  Her teacher at school says, "She is such an easy baby to have in my class because all she does is sleep and laugh and smile."

Anna Ruth is smiling a laughing a lot, especially at Dave and Joshua.

She loves to suck her thumb and rarely cries (again Praise the Lord!).

Joshua is adjusting to being a big brother like a pro.  I must admit that I didn't think he would do as well as he has.  He loves his sister and has been a huge help around the house.  He and Dave spent time together working on the AT AT Walker model Joshua got for a big brother present.  He was proud to have finished it.

Joshua started "Ms. Sara's class" last week.  He is loving being back with some friends who were in a different class last year and is over the moon excited about playing soccer this fall. 

Joshua continues to make us laugh all the time.  For example: The other day Anna Ruth was wearing only her bloomers because she had spit up on her shirt.  The conversation went like this:

Joshua: "Anna Ruth looks like she lives in Hawaii."

Amelia: "What do you mean?"
J: "She doesn't have a shirt on.  People in Hawaii only wear pants.  They don't wear none shirts."

A: "Where did you hear that?"
J: "Nowhere Mama, I just know things like that."

 

I can't believe that it has already been 3 months since Anna Ruth was born.  I think that Dave and I have adjusted well to having 2 kiddos in the house.  Going from 1 to 2 kids feels like there are 5 more people in our house at times but we often divide and conquer and are able to get stuff done.

We are blessed beyond measure!
