It's a Date

Today we had a little play date with my cousins, their kids, and my friend Laura. We had a full house- Michelle and Jack, Christina and Bridget, Laura and Lucy, and me and my girls. Molly and Jack had a good time fighting over toys and playing with the babies. Bridget, Lucy, and Ruby had a good time being babies. And Michelle, Laura, Christina, and I enjoyed eating. We tried to get a good picture of all the kids, but as taking pictures of kids goes, it didn't turn out perfect.

One month old

Ruby is now one month old. Here are some pictures we had taken to mark the occasion.

Thanks Grandma!

My new dress and shoes that Grandma Jensen gave me for Easter. Thanks Grandma!

Ruby Update

Ruby is now a little more than three weeks old. At her two week Dr. appointment she weighed in at 8 lbs 1 oz. She has gained almost a whole pound since birth. Good work, Roo! She still doesn't sleep much (odd for a newborn, I know), but she's a happy little bug. Not so much here, though.

AAHHH!

Inside the mind of a two year old

Now that Spring is almost here and it's getting warmer outside, Molly is able to play outside. She can finally ride her bike that she got for Christmas. She loves it.
I don't quite know. . . hamper/rocket ship I guess.Again, I don't quite know.

Two weeks old

Ruby is two weeks old now. Her umbilical stump finally fell off, and she got her first bath. She was a little shocked at first, but after a second she settled right in. We go to the Dr. tomorrow for her 2 week check up. I can't wait to see how much she weighs and how she's doing. In this picture her stomach looks enormous. I think it's just a distorted view from the angle of the camera. She's not that fat. . . yet.

It was inevitable. I've heard it happens to everyone. This is Molly trying to feed her baby the way Mom feeds Ruby. Well, not exactly the way Mom feeds Ruby. Molly's using her bellybutton.

Introducing. . .

the newest addition to our family. Ruby Wednesday Bybee arrived Saturday, February 23, 2008 at 6:20 PM. She weighed 7 lbs 3 oz and was 20 inches long. She's already a sweetheart, and we can't wait for all of you to get to know her. As suspected, Molly loves her to death and is a great "helper." Thank you to everyone for all the visits and gifts. And now, here's little Roo!
