Names

In recent weeks Ruby started saying both of our dogs names,Angel and Paisley.Sounding like" Angu" and "Payswe."We all thought it was so funny that she started saying the pets names first before saying her siblings names! Lol. Well ,today she called out for her sister ,Meagan,saying "Maymay "and this evening she saw a picture of her sister, Rebecca, that we had posted on Facebook and  she very clearly said,"Rebecca!"
Everytime I hear her say a new word I get a big lump in my throat and tear up.

I love you so much my little pumpkin!

Milk

I took Ruby to her ST this past Tuesday and the ST said she wanted me to put thickener in Ruby's milk so she can start using a regular flow nipple instead of a slow flow.I know she's just trying to do what she thinks is best for Ruby but when I got home I cried because the therapist put that disgusting looking gel in my baby's milk(the milk I work so hard to pump for her everyday).I also think I cried because I thought Ruby was doing so wonderfully , she takes 6 to 8 oz. at each feeding,putting on weight,growing longer,stronger and she can roll from her tummy to her back now! The ST also made the mistake of telling me Ruby is her first infant with Ds,that they usually come to her when they are older.The ST is also very,very young.

My husband brought me flowers when he came home that evening because he was sorry I was upset.He's a sweety!
