The Griffins: 10 weeks, smiles, and rolls!

Our little baby girl is now over 10 weeks old! Wow! Summer has been fun and busy so far, and is likely to continue that way. We've been to the drive-in twice now, and have seen Wall-E, The Incredible Hulk, The Dark Knight, and then the first half of Wall-E again. We were too tired to stay for the whole thing! It was a surprisingly cute movie, though. We really enjoyed it. Ruby likes the drive-in, too. She gets to sleep and eat, so she's content! :)

Ruby had her two-month check-up on Monday, July 14. She was 8 pounds, 10.5 ounces--not even 9 pounds yet!! That places her at the 5th percentile for weight. The doctor says she is very healthy, though, so nothing to worry about. She was 22.5 inches long (50th percentile) and at the 25th percentile for head circumference. The doctors and nurses all think she is so cute! She also got her first round of vaccinations, which she did not appreciate, and neither did Mommy!!

And the BIG NEWS for this week: Ruby can roll over now! She can roll from her tummy to back, and did it for the first time on July 11th--before she was even 2 months old! Wow!! :) She likes to roll over more and more. Just today she rolled over four times in a row, and for the first time she rolled over to her right (usually she prefers rolling to her left). We've been trying to catch this feat on video, to no avail.

Ruby continues to bless us with her precious smile. She has a really cute smile right now. It's like a shy, bashful, flirty smile. She smiles really big, but then tilts her head toward her raised shoulder, like, "Don't look at me... Oh, okay." It is the cutest thing! :)

Hmmm... what else.... she is still sleeping through the night for the most part. Recently she's been sleeping for 9 hours at night. Woo-hoo! Sometimes she sleeps more like 6, 7, or 8 hours, though. Still good! :) She usually isn't a very good napper. But I prefer it this way over the alternative!!

Well, that's it for now. Until next time...
