Red Hair?

So, what's your vote? Is this girl going to have red hair? Or will she be a dirty blond?

I'm putting my bet on a brunette, just like her mom, dad, and brother. But, the verdict is still out! We just learned that Joe's side does have red hair, so it's a possibility. Tonight, at a friend's party, someone said, "Oh cute, look at the red head!!"

Here is Ruby J after eating her first food-- sweet potatoes. She has been so interested in food that we were feeling bad eating without giving her some. So, we finally broke out the sweet potatoes to prevent her from stealing my noodles.

I think we will wait on any grains, since we want to give her tummy a lot of time to adjust to foods and we've heard grains can be tough on her digestion at first. Ruby just started to poop (on her own without help) so we don't want to mess things up. For about 5 months, our lives were consumed with her pooping and it feels good now to not worry about it. She figured it out right after we started bringing her to weekly cranio-sacral therapy appointments (I can't say enough good things about this!) and when she started to move. It was perfect timing since the doctor wanted to schedule a colon biopsy if she didn't poop better by 6 months. Yeah Ruby-- you're number one in number two now!
