Dear Ruby...

Dear Ruby,

Happy 2^nd Birthday! It seems like just yesterday we were in the hospital celebrating your birth. The past 730 days have been filled with many sleepless nights, laughs, tears, milestones and a whole lot of fun! You make everyday sunnier and you always know how to make your daddy and me smile.

Lately…

You love to give kisses; especially Eskimo or “Mo” kisses and butterfly or “fly” kisses, as you like to call them.

You still love your dogs and are getting pretty good at getting them to sit and shake for treats.

You love to eat soup especially black bean soup… you even lean over the bowl so you don’t spill.

You have gotten really good at using your manners: please, thank you, etc.

You like to try and dress yourself, but you get frustrated easily.

You love singing especially the ABC’s… it’s even starting to actually sound like the ABC’s. You 

also like singing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Stars” to your babies.

You enjoy playing with your baby dolls and think it is so neat that they have pacifiers too.

You like smiling for the camera and always give a big cheese.

You love to go shopping with mommy, yesterday you told me you wanted go to “Baby Gap” I have never been more proud.

You are still not a morning person and it still breaks my heart to wake you up in the morning to leave.

You had your first major sickness two weeks ago… a ruptured eardrum.  You were such a big girl at the doctor’s office and didn’t even cry.

You absolutely love watching Barney or “Baha,” as you like to call him… much to my dismay.

You still love to dance and I am just itching to get you into your first ballet class.

I love you to pieces and keep being you!

Love, Mom

My sweet girl, the day you were born.

P.S.- Pictures and details of your special day to follow at a later date.
