Colours

Ruby has become so very clever with her colours, her favourites are Purple and Yellow and she will scream about something that is "lello" or "Berple" when she sees them. We have a beautiful tree at the front of our house that has just started to show an amazing amount of purple flowers and when we are in the front yard we regularly have to make a detour to see the "Berple" "Berple". Yesterday when we were on our afternoon bike ride, Ruby got so excited about the "lello" tractor mummy nearly stacked the bike from all the jumping around that was happening in the back seat.

We have screaming matches now at bath time if the "yello" towel isn't used to dry her and if you ask what colour nappy she would like to wear you can be sure it will be "lello".

Other than her two favourite colours Ruby now knows "bue" (blue) and "ga" (green), and this morning said "bow" (brown) and "ra" (red).

All this learning of colours is due to Daddy's choice of stories from their weekly library trip. Mummy thought the books were a bit old for Ruby but she loves them and will sit for ages with you picking colours and counting things that are on the pages. In the two days since the colour book came home Ruby has learnt white, brown, green and red.

Growing wise, there seem to be more teeth on the way. Another molar came through on the weekend and it we don't think the last two are far off either with Ruby showing all the signs that she is still teething.

And the funniest thing Ruby did this week is a cart wheel. Well, sort of. Mummy was doing them in the park and Ruby decided she was going to copy. She puts her arms up high and then swings her leg around in a circle. We will endeavour to get a video of this and also one of Ruby saying her colours.
