Thinking about getting Ruby a stuffed animal for her birthday?

You might want to rethink that.


Since taking this photo an hour ago, we have found four more stuffed animals.

A Few More Pictures...

We Miss Them Already

Ruby, David and I had a great time with Aunt Lo and Uncle Jacob this week. Some highlights from their trip include Hamilton Pool, Trudy's for drinks with friends, toobing on the Comal River, Ruby's first shopping spree with her personal shopper and lots of Scrabble. It was great to have such a casual, relaxing five days with them here in Texas. David and I tried our best to convince them to move back to Austin right away, but I think we'll have to wait awhile for that still. We love y'all and can't wait to see you again in six weeks!

Since we were too busy eating all week, we didn't take many pictures. This one, however, is my new favorite of Aunt Lo and Ruby. Aunt Lauren is a natural with the mei tai- Ruby loved getting cozy with her favorite aunt during our shopping trip.

Look Who's Standing...

Ruby has technically been standing on her own for about three weeks now, but I'm never able to catch a picture...until today!

Baby's First Barbecue

Aunt Lolly and Uncle Jacob are in town for the week and we've been having such a great time that we haven't taken many photos. We took a day trip to Luling today and took some family snapshots during lunch. Jacob's parents drove in from Houston to meet us at a local barbecue restaurant for some delicious brisket, ribs, and sausage. Ruby was in a great mood, getting some grandmom love from Miss DeDe and flirting with Mr. Jerry. She also had her first taste of brisket and loved it!

Uncle Jacob is serious about his sausage.
