Ruby hair update - 27 months

Ruby's hair seems to be growing quite a bit in the back, but is slow growing in the front. One day she will have enough for pigtails...one day.

Playgroup baby shower

There are 10 girls in one of our playgroups that are pregnant with second babies. Everyone has taken turns hosting the other expecting ladies' baby showers. This last week Danielle hosted a shower for Andrea and me since we are due around the same time. It was a fun gathering and I received some nice gifts for baby boy.

Ruby playing in daddy's office

Ruby and I go visit daddy in his office each day. We're so glad he works from home so we can see him a lot!

Here's sweet Ruby climbing on the windowsill.

Rare outing to the park

One morning Ruby and I were out and about early and since the temperature was just barely 90 at 9 am, I decided we should go to the park!

It was super hot and the equipment was already getting hot to the touch, but Ruby was thrilled that we got to go to a park we hadn't been to since early Spring. I know she misses the swings and slide and just being able to climb on stuff.

I have had just about enough of these 100 degree temps. The other day my car thermometer read 117. I can't wait for fall and being able to be outdoors more.

Trip to the aquarium

When Alex took a day off we also went to a new aquarium that opened up recently. Ruby still LOVES fish so it was neat for both of us to see her face light up with excitement.

Gymnastics with daddy

Alex took the day off of work so we could have a fun day with Ruby.

He came with us to Ruby's last gymnastics class.

He got to swing like a monkey with her...


And put her up on the super high bar...








And see how fast she can run and jump over one of the obstacles.







He got to help her on the balance beam...





and see how well she can crawl like a bear.

Spray park fun

Ruby and I met some friends at our local spray park. Ruby loves it!

She can now shoot the waterguns and enjoys running back and forth to all the different spraying features.
