All tuckered out

After a long afternoon of crying, eating, and pooping, it's time for a nap.

Slight confusion

Oh, Ruby. My nose is not a nipple, so putting it in your mouth will not accomplish anything. Plus, as Mom said, "snot comes out of there, not milk."

Hook 'em

In honor of Colt McCoy's status as a Heisman finalist, and in anticipation of the awards ceremony this evening, Ruby threw up her first hook 'em. We're teaching her well already.

Hats galore

Mother Martha is great at knitting; some might even say she's obsessed. Emilia asked her to knit three hats, and Martha said she'd be happy to do so.

So today we checked the mail and were excited to see that a package addressed to Ruby had arrived. We opened it and found this:


Yeah. Thirty hats. Ruby will have her choice for quite some time. We could even burn a hat after wearing, and she'd still have a month's supply.


GiGi and Emilia think Ruby's eyes look like mine in this photo. I agree.


Thank you, Mother Martha!

Snow in Austin?

That's right - it happens occasionally. Ruby was able to enjoy her first snowfall last night at about 11:30 pm. We did have to pull her out of her crib ... and she was asleep ... so it's anyone's guess as to how much she actually enjoyed it. Regardless, here are a few pictures.
