Crawling!!!

Can’t believe I am finally writing this blog! Whew! This video is about attempt 3 by Ruby this morning. Just out of the blue she decided it was time to cover more ground! I wondered if this was a fluke but she has proved that it was not! She has been a crawling maniac all day.

We did have the wonderful ladies from the Idaho Infant Toddler Program visit today to observe Ruby since we were concerned she hasn’t been progressing as fast as she should with her large motor skills. They were very pleased to report that everything looks good and got a good chuckle out of the fact that Ruby decided to crawl moments before they arrived. Needless to say they will be back in a month to check on Ruby’s progress.

Once again we are grateful for answered prayers! Goodness knows how much I love this kid, can’t imagine how much He does!

Labor Day 2011

Well, Ruby survived her first visit to California wine country! She was quite the trooper and really did quite well given all the starts and stops, naps in the car, etc. We were grateful to have some extra hands available as well. Bob (Papa Pro), my mom (Grandma Gigi) and dad (Papa Bear) met us in Sonoma. Needless to say Ruby was well attended.

The weather was great (even a little hot) and the wine was even better. We enjoyed great food as well. I’ll have Kris write more details on both when he has the chance. Our special dinner out to Madrona Manor was very special and amazing!

Ruby's 2nd First Birthday

Yep…that’s right we celebrated Ruby’s first birthday with Grandma Linda, Grandpa Bob, Auntie Heather, Granny & Gramp, GiGi & Papa Bear Saturday night. Two down, one more to go!

A special thanks to Grandma Linda and Grandpa Bob for taking the long way around on their way to Montana to stop and celebrate with our little Ruby! As you will see from the pictures and the video Ruby entertained us all quite a bit. Hard to believe it has been a whole year…but this has been the best year yet!

You will also see a few extra misc pictures…we celebrated Grandma Melva’s 88th birthday with Grandpa Ford, Grandma Gigi, Auntie Tiff & Uncle John.

Happy Birthday to our little Ruber Duber!!!

Happy 4th of July

Ruby celebrated some her own independence of sorts this weekend:

1.First fireworks. We headed up to the cabin on Saturday where Ruby took in her first ever fireworks. Much to our surprise she did really well. Once the adrenaline wore off she actually fell asleep half way through.

2.She swam in a swimming pool for the first time and LOVED it. She made it look like she knew what she was doing!

3.She pulled herself up onto her knees, on her own, in her crib. Still no crawling…

4.And she’s added some new words to her vocabulary…not real words but Ruby words. We actually caught this on video yesterday.

As you can guess she is a busy girl accomplishing all kinds of “firsts” these days. Oh and she does have 3 teeth now and 3 more that will come through any day!

Like the dumb parents we are we actually forgot our camera this weekend. Thankfully Grandma Gene and Papa Bear were prepared so we do have some photos to post (not that we need to actually take more pictures…we know…we are those parents)…once I get a copy! I also just realized I’ve never posted the pictures from Father’s day…so more to come…

Happy 4th of July!
Love,
Leah, Kris & the Rubster…
