New Toy

In physical therapy Ruby is working on kneeling to play and standing to play,so I bought her this really cool Vtech Sit to Stand Learning Walker ,it is also great for occupational therapy because of all the activities it has.Ruby loves this toy and tries to pull herself up to stand on it,she has learned to turn the gears and open and close the little door on the barn.Has lots of lights and music!

Vtech Sit-to-Stand Learning Walker:
5 piano keys play music notes
3 colorful spinning rollers
3 shape sorters and light-up shape buttons
Telephone handset, spinning gears and open/close barn door

Hard Work

I have still been working with Ruby on reaching up over her body while she is on her back.Today I laid her on my bed on her back and held her favorite toy up over her body.You can tell she wants to grab it so badly.Her body shakes,her eyes get big, and she grabs the front of her shirt with both hands.After a bit I held the toy down close to her hands and she reached out just a little with her right hand and grabbed it.She then lifted her arm straight up over her body and shook the toy back and forth.She did this several times in a row.Each time waiting for me to hold the toy close to her and then grabbing it and extending her arm straight out over her body to shake the toy.She never would use her left hand it just clung to the front of her shirt.I cried tears of joy ,it is exciting to me because I can see how hard she has to work to do this.
Then this evening after I changed her diaper I held the toy up over her but would not put it down close to her chest.I was hoping she would extend her arm out to grab it.Instead she lifted both legs straight up over her and started hitting the toy with her feet! She did this several times in a row! So exciting!
