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!!

Eating and Army Crawling
Ruby has had two vital stimulation sessions with her speech therapist and now she can eat a whole jar of baby food! Before she had the vital stim she wouldn't even eat half a jar of food and now she just loves eating!When Ruby gets her therapy her ST tapes small electrodes to her cheeks and turns on a small device that looks like a handheld video game,then while the electricity is stimulating Ruby's tongue the ST feeds her some baby food.Ruby has tolerated this therapy very well.She has some small red spots on her cheeks when therapy is over but these quickly go away within a few minutes.
Last Tuesday Ruby's physical therapist helped her to crawl on her tummy by putting her hands on Ruby's arms and showing her how to use her arms to pull herself across the floor.Now Ruby is using her legs to push and her arms to pull herself and she is army crawling all over the place!
I will try and get some video of her to share :)

When will she crawl?
Last night after our Wednesday night church service one of the women in the church walked over to me and asked me if Ruby was crawling yet.I told her no and explained about babies with Ds having weak muscle tone.I told her I was curious to see at what age Ruby will crawl.
I was never one to worry about when my children would crawl or walk or meet any of the other milestones because I knew they would do all of these things when they were ready.I have to admit though that when I was asked this question about Ruby it bothered me a little.I got a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach.I guess I'll just have to be ready for these questions from people and tell them Ruby will do it,whatever it may be, when she's ready.
