Well, kinda. We went to the all abilities park in Round Rock this morning with friends. Bebe liked to eat the sand; Rubina liked to till around in it.

Henry Lewis Ross
At 11:32 pm on April 20, 2012, Henry Lewis Ross was born. He's a cute little bugger, too:
Both Lauren and Jacob are doing well and enjoying their 8 lb 4 oz bundle of fun. I told Jacob that I was glad there's finally someone in the family with better hair than him. He responded that, if he was going to be dethroned, at least it was by one of his own. Seriously though, he has a ton of hair.

Finally, here's a video of Ruby finding out that Henry had been born while she was asleep and, consequently, she has a cousin:

Ten on Tuesday (or Wednesday)
1. We have been busy at our house, as always. Ruby had her first surgery on Monday and was very brave. She has been fighting non-stop sinus and ear infections for several months now and tried a host of antibiotics with no relief. We felt it was really affecting her quality of life, so we opted for ear tubes and adenoid removal. Here she is, post surgery, with a smile on her face.
2. Big news in the world of Bebe as well - she is officially crawling, standing independently, and cruising. It's crazy to see such a tiny baby doing so much. As I've stated a thousand times before, it breaks my heart a little bit with each new milestone.
3. How cute are they?
4. Ruby and I were sitting at the table this weekend eating lunch when Ruby turned to me and said, "Mom, I just don't know what I'm doing with my life. I keep peeing my pants today...What am I doing with my life?"
5. We still haven't taken Bea's seven month picture. She will be eight months in 8 days. Parents of the year!
6. We spent Easter in Houston with Gigi and Baba. David worked for a few days out of the Houston office, so we were able to extend our trip and get some extra Gigi and Baba cuddles. Here are the girls, loving on the Geeg.
7. We also left Bebe and Ruby with my parents and had our first big date night while in Houston. We went to Churrascos and enjoyed a leisurely meal and a few cocktails. It was nice to reconnect and not talk babies for a few hours.
8. The girls are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their very first cousin! He will be here any day and we cannot wait to see what he looks like. We're sending lots of labor dust and happy thoughts to Aunt Lo and Uncle Jacob as they enjoy their last days (or maybe just hours) as a two-some.
9. Bebe and I took to Lady Bird Lake yesterday while Ruby was at co-op. She absolutely loved it, as did I. I was taking a break and breastfeeding her on a bench when a woman walked by and cheered "Yay Momma!" and pumped her fist. I love living in a town where nursing in public is so accepted.
10. I finally got instagram on my phone. Can you tell? I'm obsessed with editing pictures of the girls on the app now. The crazy thing is that Bebe's electric blue eyes don't shine as brightly with most of the filters. It's a bit disappointing, but I guess that's what happens when she has the brightest eyes I've ever seen on a sweet baby girl.

Sh*t Ruby Says
Ruby's outside playing with her dolls and begins screaming, "Mom! Mom! Come out here now!" Emilia rushes outside. Ruby points at her dolls and says, "Mom, they won't stop saying 'dammit!'"

Soccer
Ruby played her first soccer game today. After talking it up for over a month, practicing in the front yard, and buying new shoes, shorts, and shin guards, we figured she was ready to have fun. After all, doesn't this picture taken just before we left for the game scream fun?

Once we got there, we realized her enthusiasm level was a tad below ours. I think she was overwhelmed by the whole thing, and we ended up spending the bulk of the time trying to convince her to stand - not sit - on the playing field. No worries, though, as we got some great pictures of her being pouty.
Yes, this is in the middle of the field, during the game. And, yes, the kid in the background is carrying the ball with his hands. Three year-old soccer is awesome. 
Beatrice, Gigi, Baba, and Aunt Jo were all excellent cheerleaders.
