Sugar & Spice

Daddy Post: Just a few more pictures. Ruby's toothy angry face is a precursor to the best Halloween costume ever. Be ready!!! In other news Marty decided that she had had enough of hosting Ruby's all night buffet in our bed. Thus, she sought out the advice of Dr. Ferber and we're happy to say that it worked like a charm. Ruby no longer has to go through a bedtime routine nor does she have to be pampered throughout the night. She knows that her crib is where she sleeps and when she's in it that is what she is supposed to do. Little to no fuss which has been awesome. We're very proud of her and the fact that she's become quite the big girl.

Momma Post: Yes, another picture of our cutie pie and the pumpkins. Thanks for humoring your parents, Ruby. On Saturday, we had a nice lunch with Dad and Janet at Skyline Burger. This was followed by a trip to Sauvie Island to experience some of Multnomah County's finest rural landscape. We quickly learned that Sauvie Island and Saturday's in October don't mix. Traffic on Highway 30 was backed up as folks waited to cross the bridge to reach the island with the main attraction being the haunted corn maze. We bypassed this attraction for a local farm of dahlias, apples and of course pumpkins, my favorite being the moon (white) pumpkins. Ruby enjoyed tackling the gourds, but was dismayed at being strapped up in the car seat again, apparently not getting enough of the farm life.
