Dear Ruthie,
Today was our first outing with you - to the Doctor's Office! You were pretty fussy during the appointment; you probably didn't like being all poked and prodded.

You weigh 7 lbs, 2 oz, which is what you weighed when we left the hospital. The pediatrician was pleased though - it means you are at least maintaining your weight. We have about two weeks to get you back up to 7 lbs, 7 oz. You measured 21 inches long, meaning that you already grew half an inch in just three days! How is that possible?!
Papa came over to visit you today and you both took a nap on the couch:

Then your daddy and I had such a fun, relaxing, blessed evening with you by the Christmas tree. We laid you down with all the lights off except the tree and you just stared at it with wide-eyed wonder. It is so fun and special seeing you see this all for the first time.

Your daddy leaned over to cuddle you and I caught this special moment, too, where you are reaching up to him.

You make us laugh, little one - after a good feeding, you get so sleepy and happy looking. So relaxed with a tummy full of mommy's warm milk.

Thank you for being such a great kid. We love you and are delighted to see how you are growing and changing every day. Keep it up, Ruthie! You are doing great.
Love,
Mama
