Look Mum no hands!

Ruby can sit up all by herself. Mummy started working on this with her last week and by the second day Ruby had it down pat and she is loving this new angle she has on the world.

Ruby's top two teeth are very close to coming through, Mummy and Daddy can feel the first one now and Mummy can see the second one ready to come as well. Ruby is chewing on everything again and even finds mummy tasty. Mummy has bite marks on her chin and neck.

Ruby's friends from mothers group, Sophie and Baxter came to play last week. Ruby was a little irritable while they were visiting - we are blaming the teeth and not the fact that she may be anti-social like her father - Ruby even had a nap while mummy played and chatted.

Mummy has increased Ruby's menu this week. Ruby now has pumpkin, pear, potatoe, carrot and rice cereal on her diet list. Ruby was not fussed on pear but still ate it up and will only eat carrot if mixed with potatoe.

Mummy also had her first job interview this week. This was a little scary for mummy as the thought of leaving her side kick and heading back to work draws nearer. Ruby was really well behaved for Grandma Sheila while mummy was at her interview and from all reports they both had a great time.


Mummy and Ruby also spent the day at the beach with Grandma Dianne and Grandpa Lindsay while daddy went fishing. Ruby loves the beach! She ate the sand, got her toes wet and watched everything - the ocean, the seagulls, the surfers walking up the beach (this was a little embarrassing).
