Ruby is learning to walk
Ruby has started standing up and sitting down without holding on to anything,she has even taken a few shuffling steps in the last couple of days,and she bear crawls everywhere.I'm so excited!
When Ruby was born and I heard the statistics of when a child with Down syndrome would walk,I thought that I would work with her and she would be one of those super kids with Down syndrome who walked early.Well,I have worked with her,therapists have worked with her,her siblings have helped her, I'm sure that it was all good for her,but Ruby hasn't decided she would walk yet,she is 2 1/2 years old now,and you know what it doesn't matter one little bit to me if she doesn't walk until she's 3 or 4 or whenever.What matters is that she is doing her best,we are giving her the help and love that she needs and she will walk and run when she's ready.What if she can't walk on her own and needs some type of adaptive device to help her? Well that's o.k. too.I'm so proud of my baby!She brings so much joy to our lives.
Here are some pictures of her standing and a video of her bear crawling.In the video you can see the baby gate I had to prop up against the bookshelf to keep Ruby from pulling all the books off,she LOVES to throw EVERY book off that shelf.I'm so proud she can :)

Christmas Fun
This is my family on Christmas Eve playing a silly game where we had to guess what word was written on a piece of paper that we had on our forehead by being given clues from the other people in the room.We had lots of fun! Ruby was looking around at all of us like we had lost our minds.So funny!
On Christmas day my two youngest daughter's ,ages 7 and 9,received a set of play pots and pans,the girls were sitting in the living room floor playing like they were cooking.Ruby crawled over grabbed one of the pans and a ladle and started playing,too! She was stirring the pot with the ladle and then tasting the ladle with her tongue!I was so thrilled to see her play cooking with her sister's!

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!

More Crawling
I'm so excited about Ruby crawling.After working on it for so long I just thought she probably never would crawl and just go straight to walking.She has been army crawling on her belly for a long time, and has even bear crawled a few steps lately,but one day a couple of weeks ago she just decided she would crawl on hands and knees!
It's just so wonderful to see her getting around everywhere and not scrubbing the floor with her belly.A couple of nights after she started crawling I was sitting in our living room, and Ruby had scooted on her belly into our kitchen and then she got up on her hands and knees to crawl and I just started crying.I was so happy!See Ruby can!!
