Big Blow Out at the Mexican Restaurant!

We went out to Mexican last night and just the smell of the food made Ruby have a big time blow out! Biggest so far. So Ruby and I went out to the car to change and we did not have the wipes. I had to clean her up with a blanket! I had to lay her on a blanket too. So there were two messy blankets and an outfit that was pretty nasty! haha! Also the spare clothes I had for her were WAY too big. But anyway, we got all cleaned up and went back inside and everyone was done with their meals, so I got a to go box and we all went home. Don't take this story to mean that I minded one bit, anything she needs is OK with me. It's just funny!

Ruby with Noel's dad, Papa.

Sweetie Nathan

Last weekend we paid a visit to Jeff, Deena, and Nathan. Nathan is the sweetest little boy and is full of hugs and kisses. One funny thing is that Nathan kept bringing in this strainer to play with and Noel was putting it on his head, similar to Johnny Appleseed. Anyway, we had a really good time and I can only hope that Ruby is as good natured as Nathan when she's his age.

Staying at Home

As of the end of the year I am officially a stay at home mom. I am enjoying my time with Ruby, but staying at home is no cake walk either. There is this feeling that because you have the "luxury" of staying home then you should be trying to do housework every second you can. This may end up being more work then working outside of the home. I know it's totally worth it. I want to send a thank you out to Poppy for bringing home the $ for us!

This is Ruby with Noel's mom. I think we're going to call her Meemaw. Doesn't Ruby look so peaceful? And big too!

New Years Resolution

I know I have been a bad blogger so I vowed to get back on the horse once everything calmed down. I hope I haven't lost all my viewers!

Today I baked a loaf of bread and it turned out delicious. Funny thing, this recipe called for putting the yeast in the water and letting it foam for 10 minutes. Worked like a charm. Best loaf I've gotten. Confession: I use a bread machine :)

This is Ruby in the morning. She has some bad hair. Ha! I imagine she's thinking, "Give it a rest Pop!"

2 Months Old

Yesterday Ruby turned two months old. She is getting so big. She's over 12 lbs. She is smiling all the time and sometimes gives us a little laugh. She holds her head up all by herself and has been doing so for some time now. She loves to stand in our laps and supports herself totally. She's been doing that for a some time now too. She sits in her Bumbo and smiles and smiles. She coos and is becoming more vocal everyday. She makes the cutest little face where she puckers up her mouth. She is so sweet in the morning and at all times really. She is so sweet during diaper time. She loves it when I sing to her, even if my voice is sketchy :) When I take her shirt off of her she throws her arms all the way out and makes the cutest most scrunched up little face. She eats a lot and will take a bottle as long as Mommy is not in the house. When Poppy is holding her she has also been known to watch Mommy wherever she goes. She grabs things and has no problem grabbing Mommy's hair. She can also swat away what she doesn't want to bother her.

She is so much fun and we love her so much. Even though I love her more than anything in this world I still manage to fall in love with her more every day.

Here are some pics of our beautiful baby.

Mommy is still porky but it is a good picture of the two of us so I will overcome my vanity and post it ;)

We got all dressed up...

for nothing. We were going to go to the mall but by the time we got ready I couldn't find $1.75 to park and the whole thing seemed like such a pain. She's so sweet she even smiles while she's sleeping :)

Snowed In!

We are snowed in down here and I love it! We're watching the 'Eers and making cookies. If Ruby would give me a minute I could finish them :)

Here are some Christmas pics we took.
