Ruby monthly update: 2 months

Height:  21 and 3/4 in. (17%)
Weight: 9 lbs. 8.5 oz. (9%)

Head circumference: 36 cm (3%)

Vision: You are focusing so much now; you love watching mommy and staring at your brother.

Movement: You are so strong, rocking tummy time (for about 5 minutes at a time before you've had enough). You have rolled more than 20 times from your stomach to your back, so I think we officially have a roller. You also kick your legs and move your arms a ton.

Eating habits: You generally eat every 2-3 hours. Sometimes more often during the day.

Sleeping patterns: I think it's safe to say that you wake up once a night now. Sometimes you make it all the way to 5:30 or 6 am and other times you'll get up at 4 am. Napping is pretty sporadic but you typically are awake for a little bit after you eat and then you doze off for a bit. You usually have one longer nap around 1.5 hours and the others are more like 30-45 minutes.

Sounds/words: You have started to make outbursts of sound. You're a little fussier these days as you go through some developmental changes.

Sibling updates: Keegan loves you so much! He likes to join you on the floor for tummy time and playing on your mat. He likes to help give you a bath and wants to have you in his the room for story time. Whenever we do something, he asks "Ruby's coming too?" It is so much fun to watch him show interest and affection toward you!

New discoveries/accomplishments:

• You made your first purposeful smile and now you smile all the time. Especially in the morning when it's just you and mommy.
• You love observing and just looking around.
• You are doing great holding your head up when on my shoulder.
• You can roll from stomach to back.
• You have been fussier the past couple of weeks and love to be held. You nap best in people's arms.

Places you went/adventures: 

• We're still hibernating because of the flu and all the crazy viruses out there. You did accompany me to my postpartum visit.
• We go out on walks most days unless it's raining or too cold. You have started to look around when we're outside now, but typically fall asleep.
• You celebrated your first valentine's day!
• You went to your grandma and grandpa's house and your Auntie J's apartment.
• You met some of mommy's best friends, Brittany and Lucy.
