As many of you know, I’ve been anxiously awaiting the birth of our baby girl. Well, she made a very speedy arrival at 6:55am on February 14th, weighing in at a lovely 6lbs, 14 oz. Our little Ruthie has been the most fabulous addition, and we’re feeling incredible blessed to have such a healthy and beautiful baby girl to complete our family. Here’s a little view into the life of Ruthie so far…
This is her room…
I sewed these letters for her wall, and found the light fixture at a trading post this summer.
My mom made her this quilt, and this is the crib that my dad had made Levi, which is now for her…
My nesting hormones sent me into a sewing frenzy…
And here she is, just a few hours old, and very sleepy…
“Baby!” – Levi
Watching the hockey game with daddy the night we got home from the hospital (2 days old)…
The next day, when Levi was napping, we did her first official photoshoot (3 days old)…
Then, over the weekend, we took a few with daddy (6 days old)…
The next day, “Auntie” Elisabeth came all the way from Florida to visit/take pictures, so we did another little photoshoot. I took these next two…
Auntie Elisabeth took this one…
And Elisabeth & I had to work really hard together to get this one…
The next day was a little photoshoot with me & the girlie. All images are by Elisabeth Nixon Photography…
Levi LOVES “baby”…
This is Elisabeth Ruth Nixon, who Ruthie is, in part, named after…
And this is naptime on the coffee table while mama catches up on recorded episodes of her favourite tv shows =)
There will be lots more to come!!
