When Jubilee was placed into our arms one month ago today, we really didn't know what to expect in regards to her development. Some children are very delayed, while others are right on target.
Baby girl was 14 months and a few days old, but she seemed to act more like an 8 months old. We took her back to the hotel and tried to put her down to see what she could do. She wouldn't have anything to do with that!
Our little princess was traumatized, and it was three days before we could even try to put her down on the floor again. On day three Jubilee showed us that she could indeed sit up, and on day five she crawled - painfully slow, but crawl she did!
In the three weeks we've been home, she's been flying through the milestones. First it was crawling and then a few days later she was pulling up onto her knees. Next, she was pulling herself to standing on anything and everything stationary. Just like most babies when they first pull to standing, she couldn't figure out how to get down and fell a few times before learning to sit softly. Now that's old hat to her, too! She's gone from only drinking bottles of milk and eating rice cereal to chowing down on whatever the rest of Team Robinson is eating. Today, my little princess pulled herself up on a booster seat sitting on the floor and it scooted slowly forward. Her tiny feet followed and within minutes it was a new mode of transportation. Now she's cruising around the furniture in the family room.
SLOW DOWN, ALREADY! It's going by too fast!!
Thank you, Lord, for this precious little girl!
