Ruby Hope McKee Starling

We head to Oregon early tomorrow morning.  We're almost all packed and ready to go.  The marathon is Sunday in Eugene, Oregon. 

I've got a lot to update everyone about.  We've decided to go back to every other week PT appointments until Ruby is walking.  We are going to go to the clinic for those appointments.  Her PT feels that Ruby will benefit from seeing the other kids and using the the equipment there.  It's not cold and flu season so we're going to do it.  October will be here soon enough.  It's time to get out and live a little before we are locked inside all day again.

The constipation hasn't really gotten much better.  The only sure way to get her to go is Pedialax.  All of hate to use it, but it works.  The Miralax and pediasure with fiber seems to be helping a little also.  We have also started weaning her Nexium.  So far we've had no problems with that.  The big news is that Ruby weighed 17lbs before her bath tonight!  Hopefully she will continue to gain while we are on vacation.

Ruby has a new found love of blackberries.  She also tried watermelon and cantaloupe, but those were quickly tossed on the ground.  Here's a picture of Ruby after our picnic lunch at the park on Tuesday.  Can you tell she likes blackberries?

This is how we cleaned up from our blackberry feast.

We'll post from Oregon over the next few days.
