Ruby has grown and grown. I cannot believe we have an eighteen month old little girl, and she amazes me at every turn. All of her triumphs and personality nuances deserve their own post, though, which will come later. For now I will sum up. In May I finished a very tough semester, but it was followed by a wonderful trip to Virginia with Ruby and my mom to visit family. Ruby and I were finally able to see Granny, which was so deeply special. We haven't seen her since Ruby was a week old, and I felt horrible about not being able to be there at Papa's funeral. But we had a very lovely visit, which culminated on Mother's Day, and although we spent the large part of the day traveling, it was appropriate that I spent it with my mother and my daughter. We had a blast!
We've had other trips to Dallas, visits here from MeMe and PaPa, friends and family members have gotten married, and Ruby has had so, so much fun playing outside, and with her friends! At least the one positive to all this record breaking heat is the necessity to play in some water! I know all toddlers seem to obsess over water, and our little monster is no exception! Whether she's drinking it, splashing it, pouring it, running through it, swimming in it, or bathing in it, this girl loooooooooves water ("wahduh", or "wahyuh")!
In short, Ruby is freakin' precious, and I smother her in kisses all day! I figure I better get my cheek kissin' in while she still likes it! Well, most of the time.....
Here are a few photos dated shortly after the last post. Enjoy!, and stay tuned for more!
