Ruby took her first steps on December 26th, by the light of my parent's Christmas tree. Since then she would only take a few steps if we prompt her or if she was holding toys in both hands. Yesterday at grandpa Dodge's birthday she was playing with the bone toys at great grandma Olsen's house. She had a femur in each hand and happily walked all the way across the room with them. She has been more courageous and has done a lot more walking since then.
She held up a box that a power ranger toy came in and kept saying "go go!"
She loves stuffed animals and tenderly hugs, pats, and pets them. Cats seem to be her favorite. She meows when she sees one.
She does a lot of pointing. She loves to share what she is discovering and experiencing. She will point at interesting things and babble or bring us a toy and place it in our hands.
She recently discovered the fun of putting things in things. The first time she did it, I was eating an orange at the counter and she was opening and closing a cabinet beside me. I handed her a section of orange to eat, but she surprised me by throwing it in the garbage. I gave her the orange peels one by one to throw away. Today grandma Dodge made a game out of throwing blocks and toys back in their boxes.
Quin loves to play with her and is very good at making her laugh.
Ammon says "I love you coochie coochie bebe" as he tickles her.
I had a really bad day today. Quin noticed and asked "what can I do for you, momma?" Michael trained him to ask me that and to help me during the day. Quin kept checking in on me and Ruby asking, "how's it going, momma?" and "how's Ruby doing?" It helped me feel better to know that he cares about me.
