turning 3 and 2 new teeth

ruby is now THREE! april 17 was a day filled with fun; lunch and a cupcake with mom and dad (no frances!), and a little play time with her neighbor friends and a blue house cake, made by the proud mama. (i love making the birthday cakes). she is getting sassy, and is also a genius (mommy, those trees are smaller because they are far away). she potty trained herself about 2 months ago, and has been dry ever since. no more diapers for ruby!

frances is grabbing our fingers all the time, forcing us to walk with her. yes, forcing. she is a willful little tiger, just like her big sis. she has two new teeth coming in up top, and is happily grinding them against her bottom teeth. she is FINALLY eating real food, giving me a little break from all that nursing. she just started scooting, like ruby did, TODAY! we apparently don't breed children who crawl. she's so very very happy to be getting around.

all is well, now that spring has finally arrived, along with the white throated sparrows and the ruby crowned kinglets (ruby's namesake bird)
