Playing Outside in the Late Afternoon

The weather seems to be getting slightly cooler...well, it still reaches 80s, but sometimes in the shade, it can be pleasant...first thing in the morning or at the end of the day.

Ruby and I sat outside in the backyard one late afternoon and she loved watching the breeze swishing the leaves in the trees and feeling the grass in her toes.

Four Generations

During my stay in Beaumont we took a four generations picture...my mamaw, my mom, Ruby and me.

Ruby meets more of her family

I visited my parents for a week and while there I took Ruby around to meet some more of her family. She met...

Her Great Grandfather (my dad's dad)




Her Great Grandmother (my Mamaw, my mom's mom)




And her Great Aunt Elaine (my mom's sister)

Grapefest

Today we met Annette, Sakari and their 10 month old baby, Matias at Grapefest in Grapevine.



It was a hot, sunny day, and we enjoyed strolling through the festival...



Stopping off to feed the babies...



Eating festival food (corn dogs)...yum!

Ruby enjoys storytime

My mom gave us lots of books for Ruby. I thought Ruby was too young to pay attention to them, but she really enjoys storytime. When she is not trying to eat the books, she seems to look at the pictures and reach out for the various textures. So far, 'Curious George ABCs' and 'That's not my kitten' are clear favorites.

Just as cute as a button

Here is a cute photo of Ruby looking at me...so sweet!

Video - Ruby laughing at her daddy

Ruby is becoming more and more animated everyday. Her favorite spot is the changing table, where she loves to chat and laugh! Here is a picture of Ruby laughing at her daddy.
