There have been a lot of cute pictures taken of my kids in their little lifetimes. (My first child has about 5 times more pictures of him than any of my subsequent kids.) But, I got Ruby's portraits done this past week. . .and it changed me forever! My boys are cute, but this little girl melted my heart in a way I have never experienced. There's just something about my little red gem in her little red dress! I love having a daughter.
Yes, of course, she needed a red dress--her name is Ruby! This will be her blessing dress. (I've never been one for the standard white blessing outfits.) And speaking of the name Ruby. I have a complaint! When I looked at the SS name index to pick a name, "Ruby" was ranked like 157th in 2007. I thought I was picking a name that was classic, timeless, and NOT TRENDY! But, since she has been born I have heard of 3 people who have named their newborn girls "Ruby" within the last 2 months. I'm going to be very disappointed if it suddenly becomes very popular and trendy. It is completely beyond my control. My sister said that has happened to her 3 times with the names she picked for her girls. One of her daughter's is named Giselle. . .she was born over 3 years ago and it seemed like a completely obscure, even weird, name back then. Then the movie "Enchanted" comes out, and suddenly we're hearing of babies being named "Giselle" a lot these days.
I guess it's not too late to change Ruby's name. She's only 2 months old, and we haven't even blessed her yet. I could pick Gertrude or Bertha--I'm pretty sure those names won't get trendy. Just kidding! I'm too in love with the name Ruby, it was meant for my girl! Even if there will be 5 Ruby's in her kindergarten class. . . .there will ever only be one her!

She is absolutely beautiful! I love the name Ruby for her.
One of the reasons I chose the name Noah for my first was because it wasn't too common. Now there are Noah's ALL over the place. But like you said, his name seems like it was meant for him. You have beautiful children!!!
She's beautiful. I love love love that that's her blessing dress. If the name becomes more popular you can take pride in knowing that you started the trend.
