Kid videos are always too long and really only entertaining to that kid's parents. Here I am doing it anyway. I just like this one for the wiggle at the beginning

Now she's ready for the summer

We had a follow up visit today with a developmental therapist that helped us while Ruby was still in the hospital. We're happy to report all gold stars!! Ruby is meeting all the developmental milestones for her adjusted age. She weighs an ounce shy of 17 pounds. The therapist gave her a cereal snack and she pinched it with her little finger and thumb and bit the tiny piece of cereal in half. The therapist said, "she's so polite!"

Ruby had pancakes for breakfast and I think she ended up with more maple syrup in her hair than in her mouth. She loves the tub and at least once per bath she will very slowly lower her face down to the water. Then she remembers that she doesn't like that.

She's so fun.

Here's Ruby giving me a hint that it is time for a blog update. I can't believe that I haven't posted anything here since the summer. Ruby celebrated her first birthday, had her first Christmas (hospital Christmases don't count), sprouted some teeth, grew more sparkly blonde hair, and enjoyed her first road trip where she also experienced her first chocolate milkshake and her first Oreo. She still says dada every time I tell her to say momma. She laughs out loud a lot more now. My favorite thing that she does right now is "no hands." We say "Ruby, no hands" and she will stand up and let go and squeal.
