Apologies for the radio silence.
Can you say “allergies suck”?
And there IS such a thing as a grass allergy combined with a sensitivity to dust. Couldn’t I just be sensitive to your feelings?
But that didn’t stop us from going out and doing Rubelicious things!
For those of you playing the Where In The World Is Ruby Rendiego  blast from the past alert!  game, thanks for your patience, and here they are…Your moments of Zen.
Is it just me or did she grow five inches when I wasn’t looking? She’s positively TALL!
My attempt to teach her Chinese borders on the farcical. Thank gawd for hanyu pinyin.
She is just beginning to understand peekaboo. Babies must have memories of fish. Because it will amuse her for 15 minutes even if you appear and reappear from the same spot.
Jay and I disagree about this but…DOESN’T SHE LOOK LIKE THAT BABY ON THE BOX? Minus the mohawk?
Jay entertains Ruby with some nifty disguises.
I personally find that rather creepy.
We (and by that I mean Jay, and only Jay) played kickball with some friends, including a father of another Ruby who drives this car!
All hail!
As a random aside, his nicknames for her include Rubes and Rubester!
What are the odds.
Ruby goes on a picnic with Uncle Kevin…
…and finds these awesome glasses.
Those are Kim Jong Il glasses on lava lamp crack.
Too obscure? Too bad.
And at the end of the day, I am again left wondering: When do those arms reach over her head?
oh I love Ruby’s little dresses (the polka dots, zara missy dresses)..she is really cute, hope to pop by to see you guys if possible when I am in Van from 1-11 August…hopefully, serene can bring me there!
Those bilingual flash cards are great. Did you get them at Bras Basah Complex? There is a nifty Chinese-language bookstore there which is a) not too big and intimidating, b) peopled with nice people who do not mock my paltry Chinese, c) filled with cheap books (from China, where else?).
If you ever want anything else, lemme know. Friends have greatly appreciated the kids’ book with the text in grammatically-correct English, Chinese AND hanyu pinyin.
loved the unmatched socks….hmmm kinda reminds me of………me. LOL
i simply can’t stand this anymore! i gotta go have me a baby! too many cute pictures in one post!!
Pauline: Yes please! Come on down!
Tym: I know exactly which one you’re talking about, and I got some flashcards from them as well as Popular. Thanks for the offer. I might take you up on that…
emi: Unmatched socks are cool.
Daphne: Thanks
Have to warn you that once baby comes, sleep goes…
Oh my! Ruby has grown so much and she does indeed look very tall! Love all her pretty little dresses and her irresistible cheeks! Where did you get the hanyu pinyin flash cards from? Maybe I will ask my sis to get some for me.
