Jamming with Daddy

Ruby hates the blender. The noise canceling headphones keep her from crying. 

Plus we showed her photos and she knows how cool she looks in them.

Stylish New Hat

Ruby loves her new hat - so cute AND cozy!

Lions and Tigers and Bears...Oh My!

Woodland Park Zoo is amazing. Ruby kept a close watch for animals on the loose.

Animals say different things in various languages.

Ruby has been practicing her two favorites.

Roosters say:

cock-a-doodle-doo English

coco-rico French

ku-ku-ru-ku Turkish

Pigs say:

oink-oink English, German

ot-ot Vietnamese

grok-grok Indonesian

Tasty Brown Rice Cereal

DAY ONE:

Ruby acted as though she's eaten real food all along.

Sucking on watermelon in Arizona really built up her confidence.

Yummy.

DAY TWO:

You can't go wrong with organic brown rice cereal mixed with breast milk.

Ruby wonders why being spoon-fed is photo-worthy.

Little Bunny says,"Hi There!"

April is really the only appropriate time for a bunny coat like this to hop out of the closet.

Reading Is Not So Hard

You just have to appear confident and act as though you know what you are doing.

Llamas, Llamas Everywhere!

Ruby's favorite new book- Is Your Mama a Llama?

She likes llamas, hence her sweet llama top.

Happy Tie-Dyed Ruby

The whole gang tie-died t-shirts to celebrate being together.

Our t-shirt art dried quickly in the sweltering AZ sun.

Easter in Phoenix

Family Gathering

Grandma CC and Grandpa Tom with grandkids Charlie, Lily and little Ruby!

Uncle Jeff and Aunt Michelle.

Aunt Dina, Uncle Brad and cousins Lily and Charlie.

Ruby could not stop herself from petting Charlie's lovely locks.

More Family

Uncle JR and Lauren with the little hippie.

Arizona Pool Time

A sun umbrella was required for Ruby's swimming enjoyment.

Sunglasses were helpful too.

BIG Wisconsin plans!

Ruby is anxious to get to Wisconsin to visit this summer.

Bottle Feeding Baby Ruby

There was a wide assortment of bottles being shared.

Luckily Ruby didn't go for all of them.

Strawberry Shortcake's side-kick Blueberry Muffin?

There were lots of fabulous knit fashions, hats and booties for Ruby.
