May 2005

2005 05 06 Taken just moments after Ruby was born.

2005 05 06 I waffled a bit on whether I’d cut the cord or not, but found courage to do it in the moment.

2005 05 06 Presenting... Ruby Cadence Iris Rice Offiong (8lbs, 14oz and 20.5 inches).

2005 05 06 Mommy & Daughter.

2005 05 07 Proud Papa!

2005 05 07 Mommy's cuddle time.

2005 05 08 Sleeping (Thanks to Kate Dion for making the yellow blanket).

2005 05 08 We fed Ruby through a finger feeder for the first few days.

2005 05 09 Ruby's First Bath.

2005 05 09 Aaahhhh. Isn't she sweet??

2005 05 09 Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

2005 05 10 Lenie, our "kraamzorg", weighing Ruby.

2005 05 10 Ready to go cruizin' in the Mustang.

2005 05 12 Daddy-Daughter Time (Thanks to Charles & Melissa Morrisey for the baby seat).

2005 05 12 Hey! Momma stole her away from me!

2005 05 13 A Happy New Family!

2005 05 13 Stop looking at the camera and FEED MEEEEEEE!!!!!

2005 05 13 Feet.

2005 05 13 A more peaceful feeding.

2005 05 14 Happy little girl!

2005 05 14 The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club.

2005 05 14 Happiness is... Momma's finger in my mouth.

2005 05 14 Sleepy Redux (Thanks to Nadine Gibson for making the multi-coloured blanket under the yellow one and to Dave and Charmaine Rand for the lovely stars and moons blanket).

2005 05 16 Gran and Grumpa Rice meet Ruby for the first time (See, we’re not the only ones who look like maniacs when they first meet Ruby!).

2005 05 16 Relaxing in Gran's arms.

2005 05 22 Ho Hum... This is Papa's favourite picture so far!

2005 05 20 That’s not a nipple!

2005 05 22 "The 600 series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy, but these are new. They look human - sweat, bad breath, everything. Very hard to spot." (from The Terminator)

2005 05 22 No, she’s not a Terminator... She’s the Rubynator!

2005 05 23 Look! Now Papa’s feeding the baby.

2005 05 23 But Papa, I'm not ready for solid foods yet!

2005 05 23 There, that's more like it.

2005 05 23 One of those precious moments between Mummy and Daughter.

2005 05 25 I see a lot of new faces; which means a lot of you have been breaking the first two rules of Fight Club.

2005 05 25 Ruby: What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets? Morpheus: No, Ruby. I’m trying to tell you that when you’re ready, you won’t have to. (From The Matrix, sorta)

2005 05 25 Alright, get these things off me. I look ridiculous!

2005 05 28 What do you mean Gran's going home soon?? I like having her here!

2005 05 28 Papa, put some pants on. You're embarrassing me.

2005 05 28 Here's a close up shot for you.

2005 05 29 These people dress me in the weirdest outfits. What ever is a baby fashionista to do?

2005 05 29 I don't quite know what it is, but I like this thing!

2005 05 30 Huh?

2005 05 30 Papa, you finally came home from work.

2005 05 30 We buried the stump of Ruby's umbilical cord under the rose bushes on our porch. Dutch tradition says that brings good luck and happiness.

2005 05 30 Another pic of the new family.
