Block Party 2012

In case you haven't been paying attention, we live on an amazing block.  This amazing block also happens to have an amazing block party every year.  Here's Block Party 2009, 2010 & 2011.  The ponies were back, along with the amazingly awful DJ.  I was on my own with both kids for the weekend and was so thankful to have such wonderful neighbors.  Friends fed Eli, held Ruby, kept Eli out of trouble, and gave me a beer at the end of it all.

Eli danced until I finally carried him to bed at 10pm.  Ruby took the day in stride and, as usual, went with the flow. 

Lucky Mommy

Breakfast in bed and a Wonder Woman apron.  What more could a girl want?

Ruby's 6 Month Update

13.7 lbs (aka 25th percentile)

27 inches (aka 90th percentile)

happy, healthy and sweet as can be.

Sitting Pretty

Rewind to Easter & Cherry Blossom Festival

Every year during Cherry Blossom Festival they hold a Kite Festival on the Mall.  Since it rained last year, this was the first year that Eli was really old enough to fly his own kite.

Ruby wasn't very impressed.

We also have an Easter Egg Hunt on the block.  It's amazing how much these kids have grown.

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.
