. . One small step for Rubens... . .

And I can...

WALK: well I am starting to. I have taken 10 whole steps up the hallway. The trick to it is determination, I just focus on the thing that I really, really want and my legs just seem to (drunkenly) carry me along.

SAY: fergule gurgle. Mum and Dad don't know what it means...

EAT: Well... dirt and sand is still number one. Anything mum cooks is number 100 million zillion (right at the bottom). I have tried to eat a slater, but mum fished it out (I was pretty proud of myself for catching such a small, quick bug).

Ruby is not yet 10 months old and is starting to walk. Here he is near Niagara Falls playing with Dad adn walking five whole steps all by himself! Wow. He is getting move and more confident each day. He is so game and of course we are sooo proud.
