Ruby the Destroyer

Written by Shannon Leigh

The picture below is probably one of my favorite pictures EVER.

It was a few days after Ruby's 1st birthday.

I was trying to photograph her birthday shoes on her chair and miss Ruby would NOT leave them alone.

She kept creeping up onto the chair with wobbly legs and snatching them.

I snapped this one and it made my heart pitter patter.

She looks like a little giant.

I love that chubby little face peering down at her prize.

ahhh, sweet victory.

Aren't her duck feathers adorable?

Look at those chubby arms... don't you just want to nibble them?

I'll take the left one slathered in mayo please.

I eventually got the shot that I was after.

But right now I am so grateful for the out-takes.
