Baby Got Back

Eight Months!

Ruby is very excited to be eight months old today.

And as an added bonus, perhaps one of the cutest pictures we've taken of her:

Night-Night Stella

Stella loves Ruby so much that she tried to take a nap in the crib. Stan was not amused.

I'm in Love

Birth Buddies

Gigi has always called Ruby her "birth buddy" because Gigi was part of my awesome labor support team. Gigi actually saw Ruby's head (and hair) moments before she was born, so they have a special bond. As a much belated gift for all of her love, support, cleaning, cooking, washing and general caretaking during the weeks following Ruby's arrival, we had these shirts made for the birth buddies. And here they are, modeling the finest in infant and grandmother fashion this weekend.


And another picture because I couldn't pick a favorite.

We Found It!

The camera cord has been located! I'm sure I will make up for lost time by posting pics several times today. So, post #1....

Our friends Emily and Justin were in Austin for the weekend and stopped by to meet Miss Rubina. We've known Emily and Justin, or Shaq as David likes to call him, since high school. David and Emily had a brief but very hot romance in 1997- it's hard for me to be nice to her when I know she broke David's heart. But I'll post their picture anyway because Ruby looks adorable.

Emilia's Life?

Yes, Ruby can't talk yet. But I still think this clip from Family Guy sums up what Emilia must feel her life is like sometimes.
