from the weekend

Well it was a weekend of firsts....

Ruby is recuperating from her first case of tonsilitis complete with rash all over her chest, tummy and back.

She had her first 'pop up' or push pop as I always called them.

Messy, but totally worth it!  Love this face!

First time to eat corn on the cob. She loved it!

Ruby and Stella love playing together outside and love to get their suits on and play in the pool.

Note to self: Don't even bother buying shorts and t-shirts for Stella!  She will only wear a dress during the summer!

Ruby is saying so much now, a new word everyday it seems.  She's making two word sentences.  One of her favorites is "No, no Mimi (Millie) also "Hi Momma" and "Hi Dada"  She has the cutest way of saying Stella.  Sometimes it's "Del-la" and other times it's "Lel-la". 

 She is so busy.  As I am cleaning up the mess she made with water in the bathroom sink, she's unrolling the toilet paper.  As I am cleaning up the mess she made by dumping the dog dish she's spilled my drink on the kitchen table everywhere.  Today Stella and I were working on a project for her classmates and Ruby had taken a glue stick and was eating it.  But she sure does love to sit with me and snuggle too!

Stella has just about finished her first year of pre-school, and I can't believe it. She's becomming more and more independent, wanting to brush her teeth, get dressed and even go to bed by herself.  I mentioned taking off her training wheels the other day and she was adament that we should wait and she would try that when she was older.
