The poms are here

Daddy's uncle Cyril and Auntie June have arrived from England for a 3 week holiday and Ruby has been spending lots of time with them as they are staying with Grandma Sheila. (Mummy has started a photo album especially for the trip - in the family section)

Ruby is back to her normal happy self again and well over what ever she had the week before....thank goodness. She has been a treat while we have been touring around the countryside showing off our beautiful part of the world.

Our first stop was Kingscliff, of course. Daddy took Cyril and Grandpa Lindsay fishing while mummy, Grandma Dianne and June hung out at the caravan catching some rays. They enjoyed themselves so much that they are keen to go back for a BBQ before heading home. This is fine by mummy as she loves going down to Kingscliff.

Uncle Cyril turned 70 the following day and we all got to celebrate with a feast at Grandma Sheila's house. Ruby also got to meet daddy's aunt Ede and uncle Gerry for the first time.

Today was a big day tripping around Mt Cotton and Vicky Pt. Ruby and mummy got to play on the grass hill at Sirromet Winery while Cyril and June did a tour and wine tasting. Mummy also took them to the very top of the mountain where she and daddy got married and then back down to Vicky Pt to check the ferry times for a trip to the Islands tomorrow. Ruby and mummy wont be doing this one as Mummy has work and Ruby is going to see Great Grandma and Grandpa with Grandma Dianne - another big day for Ruby.

Progress notes;

Ruby is definitely teething again and looks to be getting her top canine teeth on both sides of her mouth. Her sleeping is crap again and she is pulling on her ears all the time.

Ruby has gone back to blowing raspberries, all the time. She will be happily singing away and then she will add a raspberry to the end of the tune - not very lady like.

She is also trying her hardest to pull herself up and can now stand up only holding on to one hand. The good news is that she is still very unco-ordinated with walking but man can she crawl. The days of her staying in the play area with her toys are gone. One minute she will be sitting playing, the next it has gone quite and she missing from where you put her - majority of the time you can find her crawling over to something she knows you don't want her to have - the phone, the camera, the stereo.

She is also rolling from her back to her front like a pro and you have to nearly sit on her to get her dressed.

In short Ruby is now insanely mobile.
