I realized today how quickly Ruby is growing up as I had a flash-forward to her teenage years: hoodie, purse, and Starbucks beverage (chocolate milk with whipped cream for now).
And here is Joe in the stroller at the park this evening.

Barber Shop Haircut
28 OctToday I took Ruby to Bradlee Barber Shop for a haircut. Her new cut is super cute and was super cheap–we have found our new spot.
On our way out the door:
In the chair (she was so good!):

Bouncy Frog
28 OctJoe is really enjoying Ruby’s old bouncy frog that Matty just pulled out of retirement.
Ruby still loves it too.
Joseph Four Months
25 OctJoe is four months old today and I completely forgot to take a picture of him until I was getting him ready for bed. He had been asleep on our bed and did not appreciate being roused from his dreams.
Pure Ruby
25 OctI had to take a few pictures today of Ruby being just being herself. Despite the cold weather, she went out onto our little balcony wearing only a fluffy pink skirt and put her baby to bed. Then she sat out there and ate whipped cream from a spoon.
Rallying for Audrey Grace
25 OctMy childhood friend Grey and his wife Monica recently had a sweet baby girl named Audrey Grace. She was born with a heart defect that required immediate surgery and has been fighting ever since. A few days ago Audrey Grace was having a particularly rough time so Monica asked Grey, an avid baseball fan, to put on his rally cap for her. Grey posted a picture to facebook and now all of their friends and family have been rallying too, including Joe.
Nummies for Baby
25 OctYesterday while I was nursing Joe Ruby told me that her baby needed to eat too.
Joe’s Four Month Check-Up
23 OctJoe will be four months old on Friday and had his check-up today. He is still a big boy but not off the charts anymore: 17 lbs (90th percentile) and 26 in long (87th percentile). His PCM says he is just perfect and very advanced developmentally. Joe handled his shots like a champ, only crying for about 30 seconds.
Play Day
23 OctYesterday Ruby and Joe had two fun play dates. In the morning my friends Sharon and Laura and Laura’s kids Owen and Emmy came over and we all went to the park. Future classmates (USNA 2035) Emmy and Joe watched the older kids play:
Owen and Ruby (USNA 2033) got along really nicely–doesn’t Owen have a gorgeous smile?
In the evening some of my friends from small group got together and the kids made their own pizzas for dinner:
