6 weeks!

Ruby had her 6 weeks check-up today and she is doing very well. She is now up to 9 lbs 1 oz, and is 24 inches long! This past week she has lost most of her black hair and it looks as if she will have lighter brown hair like her Daddy.
This past week Aunt Iveris came to visit for a few days! It was a nice visit and I think Ivy liked to be able to relax a bit and get to know Ruby. Right now our visitors calendar is completely open, so if you are wanting to visit Scotland, let us know! We only ask that you come prepared to cook us some good food, we aren't too picky.....
Next month is our 1st anniversary and the 4 of us are going up to Loch Tay for a few days. We have rented a cottage and will spend a long weekend hiking and enjoying the scenery. David might get to do a little fishing, and I might get to do a little kayaking if the weather cooperates. Gratch is just looking forward to rolling around in some new "things"! Ruby says she will be content as long as the milk keeps flowing!

1 month old!

We can not believe that Ruby has been with us for 1 whole month! It has been an exhausting time, a fun time, an emotional time, but most importantly the best of times! having a baby does take getting used to and your life is changed forever, but it is all worth it.
This week marked Ruby's first big shopping trip into the city. She helped us pick up food for her puppy, go get some bike accessories (for david's new bike-he is getting fit), shop for mom & dad food, and then hit the baby store. We have also been enjoying walks with other babies in the neighbourhood, and taking gratch to play frisbee in the park. All in all, we are getting used to this baby thing!
