Way Behind!

Oh my goodness so I totally suck at blogging. Life is just so so busy.
Things are great in the Inman house. I honestly can't complain about a thing.

Ruby is just thriving like crazy! She is crawling but not really. Ha! She can do it but prefers not to, unless she needs to get to something fast. And really that is just the animals in her life. She did it for the first time for us last week at my mom's. Then she did it at Kathy's for me trying to get to the car. LOVE LOVE LOVES ANIMALS. It's so precious! Other than that she just does this little bear crawl where she drags herself around. She gets around pretty good like that so why change it?!?

She's also pulling up on everything. It makes me an absolute nervous wreck. I wish I wasn't so paranoid about the worst possible thing happening. I'll get used to it though. It's all she wants to do is stand up. I really don't think walking is too far away. I need to get the girl some shoes! Haha!

She is still not sleeping through the night so Jared and I are still taking turns. I can't believe I waited 6 months to do that! I haven't tried the "sleep training" thing yet but I plan to eventually. I just dread it so bad.

I can not believe she is 8 months old already. It is truly unbelievable to me. Jared and I were talking last night about how it seems like forever ago that we brought her home. We are so blessed with the best little girl. She makes us laugh every day. Thank you God!

On a me and Jared note, we got away for a day to the horse races. We met up with Emmie and Derrick and their friends at her Dad's lake house on Quachita. We rented a shuttle to drive us all day. It was both Derrick and I's birthday so we did it big! Jared won $250 so we never even had to spend a penny! We ate at the Fishermen's Warf afterwards and it was delicious. I haven't been able to stop thinking about that food. We had a great weekend!!!!!

Hope you all are doing as good as us! I couldn't ask for more!

Clapping!

So Ruby's new thing is clapping. Jared and I swear she's the smartest baby in the world. I know all parents think that about their children so we'll just brag on her to each other. :)

She's doing great! Growing like a weed. She loves about everything we put in her mouth. I'm still mixing her fruits with vegetables simply because it's working for us. Each meal she has two containers of 2nd foods. 99% of the time she eats it all no problem. But sometimes she's tired and only eats about 75% of it, no less.

Yesterday was a good day. We went down to Alma and visited everyone we could in one day. My dad was working so we just got to visit with Glamma. We watched Macybeth play basketball which she was amazing at. Very cute watching little 6 year olds run up and down the court. Then we went to visit mom and Wayne. I haven't seen my mom in over 3 weeks and I was having withdrawals. After that we headed over to the Inman's to hang out with them for a bit.

When we got home I had somewhat of a breakdown. Yesterday morning I had nursed Ruby on both sides and it didn't seem to satisfy her. She was pretty upset until we gave her a bottle. I guess it hit me last night when Jared decided to get her down for bed. I'm used to being the one that does that. I don't know why I dried up so quickly but it's obviously for a reason. I am very emotionally attached to it so I feel like it might be a rough road. But it will be ok.

I have quite the stash of breast milk so hopefully we'll use that for at least the next month along with supplementing formula. I just gave Ruby her first bottle of it and she demolished it. No problems. And that was after turkey, sweet potatoes and apples. So I think we're gonna be fine!

Next weekend is family pictures with a great photographer. We are very excite about it. We've never had family photos!

I hope you all have a great week. Ruby and I are still in our pajamas. I've already watched Crazy/Beautiful and just turned on Diary of a Mad Black Woman. Two of my favorites! Can you tell Jared is not home?! :)


Love, Sarah
