Ruby and Mom make faces at each other

This picture is a month old, but I like it. Ruby is getting very good at using her arms and hands. She can grab her toes. She likes the time right after her baths because she is naked and can easily find her toes, and the moment she realizes that you are going to put clothes on her, she starts hollering. She also likes being kissed and can anticipate kisses. When you bring your head close to hers she starts to make happy faces and even leans her head in towards yours to receive the kiss. For a while I wondered if we were just imagining that last bit, but we tested it several times and she really does lean towards you.

In other news, I have finished MICU and it got a lot better after that first day. Even that resident that yelled at me ended up being very nice and a good teacher. Now I am doing an infectious diseases consult elective, and WOW it's laid back! No weekends, no call, 9 am to 4 pm, spending the first couple of hours surfing the web, waiting for consults that will never come. I got Thursday and Friday off for Thanksgiving too. I deserve this, man. My kids and my Ted deserve this.

This is quickly becoming a blog about my medical school adventures as well as about Ruby. I just don't have anywhere else to post all this stuff.
