Autumn Days. Part 2.

Here are some pictures from Ruby's first Halloween. We all had lots of fun dressing up and I'm already looking forward to next year as she will be old enough to go trick-or-treating. We dressed her up as a little pink kitty and it fit her personality so well!

Ruby is about 8 1/2 months old, and she is busy crawling around all over the house and exploring everything she can get her hands on. She can now pull herself up to standing, clap her hands together and wave bye-bye! She's been keeping me very busy at home but it's been fun all the same. She loves to look at her books and enjoys turning the pages as we read together. She seems to favor books with pictures of babies, dogs or cats. Sometimes she even grunts if I don't turn the page fast enough!

Autumn Days. Part 1.

Autumn, my absolute favorite season. What is better than crisp fall afternoons and pumkin pie?To start the season off right, we took Ruby to her very first pumkin patch last weekend. She had fun picking out her very own little pumpkin.

Ruby has developed so much in the last month I don't know where to begin. Little Ruby is such a pleasure to be around and I am so fortunate to get to stay home with her and watch her grow. She has figured out how to crawl around and is so happy to be able to move about. She has mastered the ability to bang two objects together and is quite pleased with herself while doing so. Just recently she has started clapping her hands together too. Also she has fallen in love with Daisy our kitty, so much I decided to get her a little kitty costume for Halloween. I've also been taking her to storytime at the library and she loves singing songs, looking at books and playing with the other babies. Overall she is such a happy baby and loves living life!

Aside from raising our little one, Matt and I have been busy with a multitude of endeavors. Matt is working on a Master's degree in Music and is an active member in a guitar trio at school. I have been working farmer's markets on the weekend trying to get my business up and running selling handmade crafts. In order for me to stay at home with Ruby I need to find ways to make money, so I hope this takes off!
