Yep I'm a morning person

Well it is clear that Ruth is going to be a morning baby. She is very happy in the morning, of course that may be because she is happy to see her mama after 10 hours of sleep. With all that is going on Ruth is becoming more and more aware of her surroundings. In fact this past week she was introduced to Facetime. I had to go to Salt Lake City, Utah and we decided we would chat via Facetime. Well at first she had not clue but once I started talking to her she focused in on Joanna's mac and was intently staring. I was able to get a small smile but she was really sleepy and ready to head to bed.

We have also now started  to try to become mobile. Yep we are trying to crawl already!! She does a great job of holding up her head and now she is seeing some of her toys on her play mat and starts to head for them. First she kicks and squirms her little legs, then she stops and picks up her head, and gets her forearms under her chest. This will last about a second or two but she is able to get a good push off on her play mat and make one attempt before falling back on her belly.

She also likes to sit up in the bumbo. You have to watch her as she is not 100% solid with keeping her head up for a long period of time, but we are getting there. While seated in the bumbo she will watch anyone and anything that goes by. Every now and then she will give a giggle but most of the time she wants you just to chat with her. She is becoming more vocal each day and will talk to Joanna just about anytime. Anyway we only have two weeks left before Ruth goes to the sitter and Joanna gets to go back to work. Can I tell you that neither is looking forward to it. Anyway below are a few additional pictures and as you can see, she really loves the mornings.
