almost one

i had to post a recent photo of ruby because she's almost one. she is so much fun and picking things up like a little sponge. she hugs and pats you on the back. she laughs uncontrollably and makes funny faces. she remembers how to use every toy and where every remote control is. she's cheeky and usually deep in thought. ugghh i could go on forever. i love her.

More Shoes

I can't help but talk about my babies shoes. It's her greatest accessory right now. I've had every size of these because they go with everything. Now that she's started to walk though she can't really wear them (too slippery). That's why I posted about the saltwater sandals last week because those are her new walking sandals. But I needed to share these oldies but goodies with all new mom's that have little babies, they are tooooo cute.

There are some available at shoes.com and here is the link

classes

i've had anxiety about classes since ruby was born and wondered how i would know which one was right for her. but i found out early on that ruby loves music. our friend michelle got her a red piano before she was born and that was the first real toy she gravitated to. not to mention her father is a musician so i guess it runs in the family. i was happy to have figured this out about her and that's when i thought that a music class would be a great start. so finding "music together" at a los feliz neighborhood shop called dragonfly dolou was a godsend. ruby has a ball and it's a great bonding time for us. thank goodness my work offers summer fridays so i can spend it with my little darling. if you're ready for a class i highly recommend this!!

day stroller

there comes a time when your "first" stroller becomes too heavy for everyday use. especially when you live in LA and are constantly in and out of the car. i love ruby's new maclaren because it's lightweight and easy to use. simple is key these days.

tee pee

a friend of the family and MAJOR artist Matt Sohl painted ruby a tee pee for her birthday. she is having a "peace and love" party and this is the perfect addition to the bear skin rug and pile of musical instruments i'm throwing outside. i had to share because matt did an amazing job and were so excited for ruby's party...yayyy!!

summer "saltwater" sandals

i haven't posted in waaaaay too long!! with how ruby is growing and changing i need to share all that i'm learning and finding lately. my friend kim mentioned these amazing sandals she bought her boys harlow and thurston. when it came time to buy ruby some new summer sandals(one's that she could actually walk in) i remembered the "saltwater" sandals. supposedly they get even better when wet and dried on the foot, for a custom fit. my mom said i wore them when i was little too, see you can never go wrong with a classic. they are available on www.zappos.com
