Busy Life

Life has been so busy for us lately. Since having Rubi it seems like there is never time to slow down. My 26th birthday was the 31st of July and Chelle surprised me by getting her brother to watch Rubi for us so we could go have dinner and spend some time together. Rubi hit her 6 months on 08/06/09 and I can't believe how big she is. We got her pics taken at JC Penny and they turned out really cute. She still doesn't have any teeth and we are still working on crawling, I can't believe she isn't crawling yet, but she does get around by rolling. We are going to Bear Lake next weekend, it will be the first time for Rubi and I. We got her a life jacket and I can't wait to see her in it in the water.

Life

Things have been pretty good in the Smith house. We could use a bit more money, but who couldn't right? Little Miss Rubi Jayne is getting so big, she can sit up on her own now, she still needs to learn balance, but does pretty good. She is also trying to figure out how to crawl and that is stinkin adorable. She gets on her knees and hands and rocks back and forth and then she will get one knee forward, but she can't get her hand to move so she faceplants it. I think she will be mobile here in the next couple weeks. I'm gonna need to do some major baby proofing in my house. She is also making more noises and grabbing everything in sight. Its so neat to watch her develop.
Chelle and I have been working opposing schedules so we don't see each other as often as we would like and that is really hard, but we try to make the best of our weekends. Last weekend we took a road trip to Pocotello to see my cousin at his wedding reception. It was a nice drive and we went to Idaho Falls and the falls there were so pretty, I was pretty surprised. Rubi went swimming for the first time in Suzies (chelles sister best friend) pool, it was really cute, she just kept splashing, she thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Family

Chelles brother and his family are in town from Texas. We went up and saw them last night. They all look great and its nice to see them. Rubi was able to meet them for the first time and I met Michael, Chelles nephew, for the first time. We are going up for burgers tomorrow night so hopefully we can get some pictures taken.

Rubi

Our girl is getting so stinkin big. She has figured out how to roll from her back to her stomach and does it just about everytime we lay her down. She has also really found her feet and loves to grab at them when she is getting her diaper changed or has just gotten out of the bathtub.

Family Life

Its been a while and Rubi is growing so big so fast. She is four months old, I can't even believe it. Being a new mom has been quite the challenge but more than worth it. Every time she smiles I can't help but smile myself. We went and got her pictures taken and they turned out so cute. Here is one:

We have become pretty lame since the arrival of Rubi and don't get out too much. We did just celebrate our 4th anniversary though.

New Addition!

Wow its been a while! On February 6th 2009 Rubi Jayne Smith was born. Well not really born, more like pulled out of me. She was stubborn and didn't want to come so we ended up having a C-section. I can tell you when the doctor comes in and says we are going to have to do a C-section its a bit scary. It all worked out really well though and She is perfect. She was 7 lbs 8 oz 19 1/2 inches long. I must say the best moment ever was when Chelle said "It's a Girl!" I had been wanting a girl but had convinced myself we were having a boy so it was a great surprise. I posted a couple of pictures of her 1st few days. :)
