Our little pumpkin

My mom gave Ruby a cozy (BRIGHT ORANGE!!!) Halloween outfit. She wore it to Gymboree today and out to see the Robersons. (Thanks again mom for the festive outfit.) We'll post pics of Ruby in her halloween costume after this weekend!

Sunday at the Dallas Farmers Market

Oh, how we miss Borough Market in London.

We went out to the Dallas Farmers Market last weekend.



It was really different than we remembered it (much smaller!) But, it was still nice to wander around, pick up some veggies, spices and a rosemary plant.





They had lots and lots of pumpkins...





It was Ruby's first trip to the farmer's market and she seemed to enjoy it...



She's just starting reaching out for our faces...and loves to touch mouths and noses!

New Activities - Gymboree and Baby Yoga

I feel so lucky that I'm able to stay home with Ruby, watching her grow and develop day to day. We have lots of fun at home, but we like to get out and about a bit too. I've just discovered a few really fun activities for moms with babies! Just last week we started Gymboree and Baby Yoga. Here are a few cute pics at Gymboree...



Her favorite parts of the class are the parachute, the bubbles and the puppet!



Ooooh, Ahhhh...BUBBLES!!!

Grapevine Pumpkin Patch

Earlier this week I met a local mom & babies group at a pumpkin patch in Grapevine and took several more pics of Ruby in fall surroundings.














And when Ruby had just about enough of being sat amongst the pumpkins, she made this face...

Matias' first birthday party

Alex, Ruby and I attended Matias' first birthday party. Annette and Sakari threw a fantastic getogether and it was nice to meet some of their friends. Here are a few pics...



Here's Ruby wearing her festive Parisian outfit!

Ruby red beret

Since the weather is starting to get a bit cooler (well, it was for a few days, and then today it felt like it was in the 80s again!) I bought Ruby a pretty red beret from one of my favorite baby shops, Janie and Jack. Isn't she cute!

Beautiful fall day at the Dallas Arboretum

Saturday we met the Ebarbs, Robersons and Alex's parents at the Dallas Arboretum for a picnic and a stroll around. There were pumpkins and fall blooms everywhere! It was a warm, sunny day which made for a fantastic day out.

With photo ops at every turn, we managed to take lots of cute pics...here is a selection.
