This is a post in two parts.
Part One: Ruby turned one month and we had a little to-do this weekend.
Part Two: Ruby chose to declare her maturity by peeing on Jay, me, AND the backseat of a 2000 Volkswagen Beetle in the parking lot of a QFC that same weekend.
But let’s get to the fun bits first.
Ruby did not like her birthday outfit picked out by mom.
But she managed to keep all the drama inside while there were guests in the house. She was surprisingly on her Best Behavior.
Here she’s showing what a big girl she is by slightly beating out the cake in a “Look Who’s Bigger” contest.
Everyone (and by “everyone” I mean Jay and I) proclaimed Ruby the CUTEST thing on earth. Here’s more evidence and party shots.
Cute’s the general rule, except when she decided to pee on us.
That was not so cute.
Here, in the second installation of this post, she is all innocent and demure  but with a hint of knowing in her eye  just before she launched a stream of pee on us as we BOTH attempted to change her poo-ful diaper in the backseat of my car.
I can just hear the “How many adults does it take to change a newborn in the backseat of a VW Beetle?” jokes right now.
But seriously, I think the question should be “How do a baby carseat, a baby (not in carseat), a man, and a woman fit in the backseat of a Beetle?”
Gingerly.
Oh my. That’s one seriously cute baby…

Dot, best job done. EVER!
I see you’ve kept true to some Chinese traditions with the red eggs!
Happy first month, Ruby!!
Is that a little Mohawk she’s got going on there? Heheh
That is such a great photo of Jay and Ruby! That deserves a great caption. Happy Happy first month, Ruby and congratulations to the momma and papa too! She is sooo adorable. Love her outfit.
Congrats Dot!
I didn’t know you had a baby, and luckily Kimberly filled me in. Ruby is absolutely adorable. And yes, the second time around you find yourself wondering “oh, is he STILL crying? How long has it been?”. But no, you don’t stop picking up the camera every time they smile. Good luck and lots of love, Elena.
Happy 1st mth Ruby! I love the pic with her and the cake.
Thanks all
And great to hear from you Elena…
