Love of Learning

We recently had our parent teacher conference for Eli. The teacher really focused on his love of learning and how it becomes contagious in the classroom. She was also excited to talk with about his understanding that books teach things. He enjoys going to the library and finding books that can help him learn more about a particular topic.
A few days later I saw Eli coaxing a classmate and his brother under the climber so they could "read" their new library books and teach the brother new things.

More Brotherly Love

Eli loves to help with Ruby especially when it comes to pushing the stroller. He does have to be reminded to slow down and watch where he's going.

He also loves to hold Ruby and sing her songs.

Stats

Ruby at one month:
9 lbs. 14 oz.
21 inches

Ruby at two months:
10 lbs. 15 oz.
23 inches

So far Ruby continues to be a happy, smiley baby. She also started sleeping through the night over Christmas. When she's awake she likes to watch what's going on and is quick to give a smile.

Brotherly Love

Eli is very excited to be a big brother. He loves to show Ruby his toys.

He doesn't quite understand why she doesn't have any interest in his awesome Star Wars guys.  He is also still working on giving her some space and not getting too close to her face.  She's going to be one tough little girl.

Fa La La

For the first time ever, we decided to stay in DC for Christmas. Lucky for us some of our family decided to come and help us celebrate.

Ruby's gift to everyone was this smiling face after sleeping through the night.

Here we are for the first time as a family enjoying Christmas morning in our home.

Eli scored some awesome Star Wars toys and books - he's super excited.  Jonathan received a ukulele which he's quickly learning how to play.  Song #1 is Eli's favorite - Blitzkrieg Bop!
