Here is a play by play of the birthday festivities for Ruby's big day. First of all, you can tell that she is pretty excited to be the birthday girl. Do you know that she kept this little hat on the entire night? It was so cute.
So next comes the cake. We made Pinkalicious cupcakes (from a favorite book) and of course the anticipation is always "What are they going to do with it?" 
As you can see, Ruby very timidly decides to touch this pink thing and see what it is all about. She then tastes the frosting and likes it. But what do we expect her to do with it??
So now she is calling to her mom, "Ahhhhhh!" (which we translated to mean, "Come feed me!")
Instead mom attempts to encourage her to grab it on her own. She refuses to grab on to it, however, and so just ends up with a very messy hand. And what in the world do we expect her to do with that??
So mom caves in and feeds her. But Ruby is only interested in the frosting. Mom, thinking that she needs to enjoy the full wonderfulness of cake, forces a big ol' bite of cake in her mouth.
Ruby is NOT impressed! Too many people watching, too much attention, and "Why can't I just lick the frosting in peace!!" So thus ends the great cupcake experiment.
We still have presents to open, however! This present we're all looking at here is the little book that Tyler bought her with his own money. (Sweet!) Well, she loves this book! In fact, through all the rest of the present opening, can you see what she is holding on to? The little book! 
We thought about trying to force her to put it down, to enjoy her other toys, but we learned our lesson with the cake and just let her enjoy her book. Tyler was so proud! So there's our birthday girl! Sweet, sweet girl.

RUBY! Can't believe it's been one year...what a cutie! I'm shocked she didn't just dive into that cupcake! You do know Carson refuses to let us feed him anything!
She is just sooooo cute!
Kacee, look at you and your little brood, so adorable! What are you going to do now that your kids are all growing up?
She is so cute! I can't believe it's been a year. It seems like yesterday that we were emailing about the big move and the birth.
She is adorable! I love her in that hat! :)
