Well time has flown by and our impending trip to visit all the relatives on the Gold Coast had finally arrived! Ruby was such a good baby on the plane ride down. Took a bottle on take off and slept sucking her dummy on decent. She did so well on this trip. She was passed around from person to person and dragged here there and everywhere. Very overwhelming for her and after a week she had had enough and boy did she let me know about it. Conveniently at a girls dinner thrown in our honour!
Ever since then Miss Ruby has gone from one wake up at night to three. Apparently it is known as "the 4 month regression". This time is a huge learning curve for babies as they learn to roll and chat away and grab things etc. Because they are learning so many new abilities, their little brains are on overload and they find it hard to settle to go to sleep.
But as always with our little Gemini, its gone from one extreme to another. She now goes down during the day pretty much without a hitch all thanks to the white noise app on our Ipad that plays the sound of a vacuum cleaner. I find it just blocks out the daily noise around her and she just settles so well to it. She now sleeps in her cot up to 3 times a day for anywhere between 45 mins to 2 and a half hours at a time.
Ruby also met her cousin Raphael who is 6 weeks younger then her and a hell of alot hairier! Here are some pics of the trip.
