Embarrassing & Totally Awesome


Sorry kid, I just had to put this up.

Smiles

Ruby may just be the most smiley baby ever. Every morning she wakes up with a huge smile on her face and stays that way unless she's hungry or tired. Even when she's not smiling she still isn't very fussy. She's content to sit and watch the world around her.

Bath Time

Much like her brother, Ruby loves to take a bath. Apparently other children don't bathe every night but ours do. First, they love it. Second, it's a nice transition to bedtime for everyone. Third, they're dirty and they need it. Eli manages to get himself sooo dirty that I can't imagine not bathing him everyday. Ruby spits up constantly so unless I grow to love the smell of sour milk she will also receive a good washing everyday.

Plus who doesn't love a snuggle from a freshly bathed baby?


Circus

A few weeks ago the circus came to town and we took full advantage of the experience. On Thursday night Jonathan took Eli down to the end of our street to watch the elephants come off of the train cars. The elephants, horses, ponies, etc then marched from the railroad tracks to Chinatown wear the circus was taking place.

Here's Eli waiting for our train to take us to the circus. When we arrived we found our seats just as the show was beginning. After the amazing opening number Eli said "that was amazing! Is it over?". When I said no and explained that there was a lot more to come Eli looked like he might explode with joy.

Goodnight

Just before Ruby arrived I scored some really nice bunkbeds from another family in our neighborhood. I put them together myself in hopes of getting Ruby to arrive early. Unfortunately that plan didn't work but the bunkbeds are great.
After bath we snuggle in the bottom bunk to read stories and then Eli chooses which bed he wants to sleep in. When he decides that he's going to sleep up top he asks to wear "short sleeves pants and shirts" because "warm air rises up to the top and I'll get hot."

Super Eli

Guess what came in the mail for Eli...a super hero kit. Check out his awesome poses.
