New Toys!

Here I am posting again! It's a shock, isn't it?! Well, I found myself with a bit of time on my hands as Ruby seems to have come down with her first stomach bug. Yesterday we went out to the park and when we got back she was very fussy, followed by two "unmentionable" diapers. Then, sometime in the night, she apparently threw up! The poor thing didn't even make a peep until 6:30 this morning when we found her and her mess. After a quick trip to the tub, new sheets, and a piece of toast, she was back to bed. Our little bugger is just feeling totally rotten, all flushed and fussy. Her Nana and Bobo sent her a stuffed gorilla and baby and she's just been clinging to the little hands like a lifeline. I feel so bad for her. Hopefully it will go as fast as it came.

On to happier memories! Presents, presents, and more presents! It seems that this birth"day" is turning into a birth"week"! This is a perfect arrangement for Ruby though as the unwrapping process bores her and she'd rather just get down to the actual playing. Here she is "opening" her box from Aunt Heidi and another from Uncle Bobby, Aunt Amy, and her cousins. The unwrapped presents were her favorite as she didn't have to work so hard to get to them! I have already read her 30 pages or so from "a light in the attic" and she seems to like it. It's a nice break from all the same old baby books day in and day out! Her little outfits have come at the perfect time as she seems to be in a little growth spurt and we've had lot of wonderful warm weather to enjoy, so she was ready for all those short sleeves and capris!

Jared and I got her two "big" presents including this igloo tent and the cloth tunnel. The tent isn't too fun for her yet, but I'm sure she'll like it a lot in a few months. I thought that this picture was funny because it almost looks like Ruby is showing me around her new pad and explaining all her decorating plans for the place! I think that she will enjoy playing in there with a few toys from time to time, but because of the size, it will just have to be a once in a while thing, otherwise it kind of takes over the room.

Well, I think I hear my little bugaboo, so I better run. Hope you enjoy these pictures and have a great day!
