Strawberry hat

Ruby's uncle Preston and aunt Camlin gave Ruby this cute strawberry hat a while back. It is now one of her favorite dress up items!

Ruby and Mama (31 weeks pregnant)

Well, it is near the home stretch for this pregnancy. I have a c-section day...11/1/11/. They offered me an end of October date, but I don't want to miss Halloween with Ruby and 11/1/11 is a pretty neat birthday.

Everything seems to be going fine except for my extreme tiredness and sleepless nights. I can't wait for this whole pregnancy thing to be finished...and to hold our little baby boy!

Ruby hair update - 28 months

Ruby's hair does seem to be growing a little bit...

I do like that we can get up and go without having to 'fix' it, but I can't wait for it to grow in and look like proper little girl hair.

Alex and I currently use the hair dryer as a motivator for getting her out of the bathtub. We say if you want to use the hair dryer, you have to get of the tub...and it works! She loves getting her hair dried and seeing mama and daddy blow dry their hair too.

Ruby portraits

Ruby and I were playing outside late one afternoon and the lighting was really nice so I took these portraits of her. She is getting quite the range of expressions now and it makes her daddy and me smile all the time!




Spray park fun!

There are only a few spray parks that Ruby likes and fortunately, she likes the one in our neighborhood. It is a nice way to cool off on the super hot days!

"Cool" day and trip to the zoo

A few weeks ago we had an overcast day and it stayed below 90 degrees for most the day. And since we hadn't been to the zoo since April, Ruby and I made a trip!

We had such a fun time walking around.

She loves the fish, snakes, frogs and spiders.




They have a really neat bird enclosure where kids can feed the birds seeds on sticks.





Ruby was thrilled that the birds were perching on her stick, eating the seeds. So sweet!





And we rode both the carousel and the miniature train!

More Snow Cones!

We love going to get a snow cone before going to the pool!
