Wedding!

Ruby's a wedding animal!! She's already been to 3 and she's not even 4 months old. AND, she has 2 more in the next 2 weeks. Ruby! Slow it down!

These were taken by the fabulous Auntie Kim. She's loves her some Ruby shots. And we love that she loves them because Josh and I are HORRIBLE at remembering to bring our camera anywhere. Seriously. ANYWHERE.

Funny story - Ruby and I hung out in the "cry room" during the service and watched the ceremony via TV. I had just finished feeding Ruby when the doors to the cry room opened, I heard "May I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Ainsworth!!" and next thing I knew, Chris and Amanda are taking their first steps as a married couple straight into the cry room to be greeted by none other than Ruby and her almost exposed mother. Congrats you two!! Here's my boobs! Ha! That Ruby... life of the party...

here fishy fishy fishy...

I can't wait until I can teach her how to make a fish face... until then, this onesie will do.

our little sphinx...

...with a naked butt... (tummy time is too hard with a big ol' cloth diaper on!)


ps- look at those eyes. She's amazing.

let me go to sleep!

So Ruby hasn't mastered going to sleep on her own... she still needs to be rocked. Which is fine with me because I love me some Ruby cuddles, but when she gets to be like 75lbs, we may have a problem. However, Josh and I have mastered the I-know-when-Ruby's-tired noises. She gets really talkative... whiny talkative... but cute whiny talkative. You'll see...



Next up - happier videos of her giggling and smiling... because I promise she does more than whine and get frustrated with tummy time... mom.

i hate working out...

... and so does Ruby. Her head is so heavy, it's a work out lifting that thing up! And as you'll see, she's pretty vocal about her feelings about tummy time...

more Ohio...

Here's a few photos of Miss Ruby at the pre-wedding celebration by the talented Miss Annemarie... She and Emily were the photographers of all the wedding festivities. Check out the rest of the photos on her blog. So great!

I do!

The wedding... it was fantastic! Laura and Benjamin really know how to put on an event! The location, the food, the details... all perfect. It was a wonderful time and Ruby may have slept through the whole thing, but I'm sure she enjoyed herself as well...

From CA to PA...

Our friends, the Herricks, moved out to PA a few years ago... we've been able to see them a couple times since they've moved - the last time being when Graham was only 2 months old - so seeing them this time was so fun because Graham is SO MUCH BIGGER!! Look at that belly! I just wanted to squeeze him and pinch his cubby thighs. He's 9 months old now and too precious!

we made it!

... and Ruby did WONDERFUL! She slept the whole plane ride out to Ohio and most of the plane ride back. Everyone thought she was adorable and such a good baby... both which are true. We had a LOVELY time in Ohio at Laura's wedding. In true Laura style, the details were all planned to the T and it was quite the affair to remember. We also were able to visit with some dear Santa Barbara friends who now live in PA - who knew all those states over there are so close together?!?! It was lovely and the trip out there was totally worth it...

At the airport before our red eye flight...

On the plane...

We made it! (Funny story - we got off the plane, organized ourselves, got Ruby changed, made our way out to the curb to get a shuttle to the rental car place, saw the shuttle pulling up, then realized we forgot to pick up our checked luggage... oh sleep deprived parents. So forgetful...)


Ruby's a Buckeye's fan already...

She's saying "Oh-hi-OH!"

Storytime

She's got a cute outfit and isn't afraid to tell you about it...

Miss Kicky Pants...

She's going to be a runner. Or a swimmer. Or anything that has to do with moving those cute chubby legs of hers...

O-HI-O!

We're leaving to go to a dear friend's wedding in Ohio... and I'll have about 28 extra grey hairs after this trip. What was I thinking?? Traveling with a 3 month old on a red eye to Cleveland?? I was going to go by myself with Ruby at one point... man, am I glad I wised up and bought Josh a ticket!! Well we're off... tonight until Monday. I've set up a couple video posts for you to tide you over until we get back -- get ready for cuteness!!

THREE months!

Oh how she's grown. She officially has 2 chins, a big tummy, some killer biceps, rolly thighs, and bubbles like crazy. She's perfect... and fabulous!
