It's a boy!

See if you can figure out what's what in this picture. The arrow helps.


This year I vow to step it up on the blog posts. Happy new year!

Ruby's new sib

We don't know the sex yet but the due date is May 23.

The Little Devil

The Little Devil-- don't you think the red eyes suit her?

The eyes again!

We hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Let's Go Mountaineers!

I have been wanting to get Ruby a WVU cheerleader outfit for a long time now. I finally found one and she looks as cute as a button in it!

She is contemplating life.

Pointed toe, posing.

YAY! Mountaineers!

YAY Mountaineers, look at my mullet!!

One Year Old!

Ruby turned one on October 19th. We had a party for her on the 18th. The party went well and Ruby was as cute as ever! She went crazy when we sang Happy Birthday to her!

Party in an old classroom at WSS Junior High. The room looks a lot better than it did back then!

Me and Roo. That's the hat I made for her. She looks thrilled.

This is the cake I made for her. I was going to use fondant but just went with plain buttercream instead. I made a practice cake with fondant and no one liked the taste of it, even though I flavored it with vanilla.

Ruby's personalized M&Ms. They were the favors.

Some other kids at the party!

Another party shot.

Time to babyproof!

The other day Ruby was trying to get in the kitchen for the first time. So I mopped the floor and let her in. It's amazing how quick a 10 month old can figure out cabinets and drawers. Time to babyproof!

10 months old!

I can't believe our little baby is already 10 months old. I remember crying when she was a week old because the time went by so fast. My goodness, it hasn't gotten any slower.

She is now pulling herself up on everything and walking while holding on. It's up, down, up, down.... She stands a little by herself unsupported too.

This is her victory stance. She puts her arms over her head and we yell "Victory" and she laughs and laughs. She also does it when we yell "Victory;" thus, she is able to recognize a word and do the corresponding action. She even mimics us when we don't say anything but put our hands in a V over our heads. These actions only prove that, as I suspected, she is a genius.

How could we ever say no to this face?

Check out those two bottom teeth. They first broke through July 4.

Sweet as sugar, but starting to throw some fits. haha!

Her hair is really growing longer and getting thicker!

VICTORY!

VICTORY!

Future WVU cheerleader in the making right here. For those of you who did not cheer, this is how cheerleaders sit.

Mom, enough pictures!

YEAH!

The thinker, or maybe the stinker!

Check out the top teeth- four of 'em.

VICTORY! This will come in handy during football season!
