Welcome to our CaringBridge site. It has been created to keep friends and family updated about our daughter Ruthie.

Ruthie was born on Sept. 14, 2006 to her proud parents, Brent and Julie. She joined big sister Hannah and brothers Wesley and Joey. She was born with Down Syndrome and came through open heart surgery. She is now 19 months old and 21 pounds and on the move!

Well, this coming week we have 2 birthdays. Wesley on the 9th and Ruthie the 14th. We love cake, so it's a good thing!

Ruthie is taking more and more steps, but has a very wide stance, which we're trying to work on. Most likely she'll be getting braces of some kind for her legs and/or feet:( Oh well. Nonetheless, she's pretty proud of herself.

I'm going to start the Hanen class for communication on Friday mornings in a week or so. Don't know much about it, but I know it has helped a lot of other people. It's a little challenging to not know what she wants even though she's almost 2. So i'll learn some simplified ways to communicate with her that should help.

Will keep you updated and hopefully some pictures soon.
