Ruby's First Trip to the Library!

We took Ruby to the Library for the very first time over the weekend and she LOVED it!! She loved the little tables and chairs that were just her size, she loved the big rocking chairs and most of all, she loved the books! She insisted on carrying three books around at all times. It was pretty funny watching her dropping one and then bending over and trying to pick it up with two already in her hands. But after a lot of grunting and huffing, she would get it. She didn't quite get the quiet concept, she let out a few squeals because she was so excited, but we didn't get that many dirty looks. :)



We are so happy that the Fall weather is finally here. We actually have been putting the heat on the past couple of nights and have gotten out Ruby's warm one-piece pj's with the feet in them. We played outside a lot this weekend. We went to a Fall Festival on Saturday with lots of local vendors and a big fire truck that Ruby got to sit on. Then on Sunday, Ruby had a birthday party to go to for her friend Lily who turned two, she had a great time!

Daddy and Ruby are best buddies!

Ruby had her first "real" bubble bath a couple of nights ago and all she wanted to do was scoop up the bubbles and EAT them! Maybe that will counter-act the huge handful of dirt she ate earlier.


Ruby is quite a mixture of girly-girl and tom-boy. She LOVES putting on her necklaces and playing with her baby doll but she also loves her "rucks". Although, I'm pretty sure she'd take her "rucks" any day over the necklaces.

Ruby is understanding pretty much all we're saying now - the other day I said "Ruby, go get your cow magnet and put it on the fridge". She went into the living room, picked up the cow magnet, brought it back in the kitchen and put it on the fridge! I can see this becoming useful - "Ruby, go get Mommy a glass of wine - no, not the cab, how about the merlot tonight". Hehe, worth a try? Ruby also knows pretty much all of her body parts, check out the video below.

I like your idea of her fetching wine for you. Just think, when she gets a little more coordiated you can teach her to use a cocktail shaker and then the fun will really begin!! :)

Ian knows how to fetch beer...it's only a matter of time before he can get wine.
