photo update

Ruby's album has finally been updated.

I have no idea if the photos are in the correct weeks but there are a lot of new photos and recent videos of Ruby.

Keep a look out for the photo of Ruby with the first flower off her tree; the cute photo of Ruby and Daddy on the swings and all the videos of her entertaining us and making us laugh.

Mummy and daddy have started to use the Santa card with Ruby, we have let her know that if she is good Santa will come and bring her some pressies - a horse, a bubba and a book (this is what she asked for - so whenever she looses the plot or is drawing on the tiles - guess what, santa's not coming! Oh my god, it works - she stops what she is doing and recites her list of goodies.

We have been told this week that Ruby is moving up a class at swimming - about time too. She is the only baby in our class that is actually swimming and not just being dragged around the pool. Ruby loves swimming, we have taken her swimming lots lately, due to the temperature. Ruby can just jump on a noodle and paddle herself around the pool, she will get to the side and monkey monkey to the step and climb out. As long as we are watching she can pretty much play all by herself. Can't wait until we go away at Xmas to the beach.

Oh and our little chatter box now says "hello dadda" when she picks up mummy's mobile and pretends to have a conversation with him.

Daddy's Girl

Not that it's worrying anyone but Ruby is starting to follow a lot of her Dadda's traits. They might be hanging out together a little too much.

Her hair is going curly, she is obsessive about having clean hands and face (I think this one comes from Grandma Sheila) and she now runs around the house chasing flies with the fly swat.

Apart from this our little girl is now the biggest chatter box. She will yammer on for most of the day and if you aren't listening she gets louder and louder and louder. Her vocabulary is getting better and better everyday and Ruby is now talking in small sentences - "Eat dinner outside mumma" or the latest "Need that" or "it's stuck" or "Ruby help mumma with dinner". Yes, dinner is still a major part of Ruby's day.

And Ruby's most favourite thing to do at the moment (apart from eating or reading) is to ride her little car around the house at ridiculous speeds, chatting to herself and anyone who will listen at the same time.
