Our little talker

It seems that over the last few weeks Ruby has started to say just about everything you ask her to say and she is blowing us away with the things that are coming out of her mouth without any prompts.

There are still the occasions when you just have no idea what she is saying but majority of the time you can have little conversations with her or she can tell you exactly what she wants.

Today it was "play at the park mumma"; "mumma high" (this is on the swing); "ants bite Ruby".

This week Ruby got her first letter from Santa, which was very exciting and for a couple of reasons. A few weeks ago Ruby was drawing and we asked her if she would like to write a letter to santa, of course the answer was yes. So not thinking much about it Ruby drew and mummy wrote a nice letter to santa telling him that Ruby had been a good girl and what Ruby would like for Christmas (a bubba! Maybe next year honey???). We popped it in an envelope, addressed it to Santa at the North Pole, stuck a Winnie the Poo sticker on it and put it in the letter box.

To our amazement Santa wrote back. He even new that we were going to the beach and reminded Ruby to where her suncream and hat....how cool is that. Yay Australia Post!!!
The last few weeks have been ridiculously busy leading up to Christmas with work and all of Ruby's classes. Only one more week and we are off to the beach for a small break, yahoo! We aren't camping this year and are staying in the family caravan. Ruby has got her own little life jacket so she can go fishing with daddy and we are really looking forward to taking her for swims as she is getting more and more confident in the water.

We are also hoping Santa will bring Ruby some clothes as she has grown so much recently that she is nearly out of all of hers. Mummy and daddy are holding off on buying anything until we find out what santa has brought. Maybe some clothes instead of a bubba.

Also, due to mummy's slackness it has been decided that next years photo album will contain monthly photos and videos of Ruby instead of weekly updates.
