I'm a new woman...

It's like someone swapped my baby in the middle of the night (not last night, I would have noticed, we were awake for most of it).

Ruby has gone from being irritable most of the day and screaming most evenings, to being happy - even laughing (mostly when her pants are off).

Now we could put this new Ruby down to a couple events that happened this last week:
1. 3 trips to the Osteopath for alignments and tummy manipulations
2. the use of the best invention ever - the dummy. Yes, she finally took it.
3. Ruby has hit the magic 6 week mark that everyone talks about.
We have even been able to get her to go in her stroller, with a trip to the shops and the Coffee Club for 3 hours on Sunday....Hooray!

Ruby has also got a new nickname - Muffin! This is due to the size of her tummy that hangs over the top of her nappies. She has put on another 350 grams in the last week, taking her up to 4.5kg or 9lbs 9 ounces....check out the rolls in her arms and legs.
We also celebrated Uncle Simon's 23rd B'day by having a BBQ at our house on Saturday. Yes, that's the same day the temperature reached 38 degrees. Both Ruby and Isabelle survived to the surprise of everyone, especially since her Grandpa had gone silly from beer and was very keen to play rough games with the girls.

Quote of the week comes from Uncle Simon (see photo from previous post for reference):
'Who's that black baby laying with Isabelle on the play mat.'
