Victoria and Romeo Pumpkin Hunt

---

All together now…Awww!!!

Look at how cute Victoria Beckham and son Romeo, 5, look at the pumpkin patch earlier this week.

Although the Beckhams are not used to Halloween festivities in their native England, they are adapting well to American culture. “I’ve got three Batmans at home right now,” she says of her sons’ costumes. “We will go trick or treating tonight.”

Russell Crowe and Family Out In LA

---

Russell Crowe and and his wife, Danielle Spencer, took their two children, Charles, 3, and Tennyson, 1, for a walk in West Hollywood October 30.The boys each ride in a Mountain Buggy Urban Elite Stroller($429).

Mountain Buggy also makes this exact stroller in a double version. I can’t figure out why they would have two singles instead of a double. Maybe they do separate playdates and need each child to have their own ride…

Study Finds: Treadmill Training Helps Down Syndrome Children Walk Sooner

---

A new study involving 30 babies has found that treadmills can help infants with Down syndrome learn how to walk months earlier than traditional therapies.

Parents of babies with Down syndrome were asked to help their children walk on the treadmills for eight minutes a day, five days a week. They sat on a bench which straddled the machine and held their babies as the treadmill belt encouraged them to take steps.

This exercise helped the babies learn to walk up to four or five months earlier than traditional physical therapy alone, the study found.

More intensive training helped the babies to walk even sooner, the study found.

The intensity of the training for half the babies was increased gradually after the infant could take 10, 20, and 30 steps per minute.

Children with Down syndrome generally don’t learn to walk until 24-28 months, about a year after children without developmental disabilities.Getting them walking sooner can help improve their social skills, motor skills, perception and spatial cognition, said study author Dale Ulrich of the University of Michigan’s Division of Kinesiology.

“The key is if we can get them to walk earlier and better then they can explore their environment earlier and when you start to explore, you learn about the world around you,” Ulrich said. “Walking is a critical factor in development in every other domain.”

Baby Delivered in Car By Doctor Parents

---

It was an exciting day at the side of the Interstate 78 yesterday when a baby decided to arrive just minutes from the hospital.

Eileen Quintana went into labour at 4am, but didn’t decide to head to the hospital for 3 hours. Unfortunately it was rush hour and the hospital was 90 minutes away.

“I told Stephen(her husband), ‘I think the baby is coming, I feel the head,’ he said, ‘No, no were going to make it,'” Quintana said.

As he started to drive faster his two year old son, who was in the backseat holding moms hand, saying “Race car, race car, having a blast”.

Obviously his race car driving skills didn’t work because:

Bryce Abigail Naylor, all 7 pounds, 8 ounces of her, made her debut along the shoulder of the highway, just a half mile from the hospital.”I could see the exit sign when we were delivering her.

I was pretty sure we were going to make it. We were so darn close,” Naylor said.

The proud parents not only delivered their baby but they clamped and cut the cord, then continued on their way to the emergency room. Everyone is fine, including young Daniel, whose big-brother instincts immediately kicked in.”The first thing he said was, ‘She needs a shirt,’ and I said, ‘OK, we’ll put it on the list of things to do.'” Quintana said.

As doctors, they know Bryce’s birth wasn’t the ideal of circumstances, but they wouldn’t change it for the world.”

Certainly I wouldn’t recommend having a baby in the back seat but it was a special moment where the whole family was together,” Naylor said.

I guess if you want to have a baby at the side of the road, you want to have at least one doctor there. What are the chances that both parents, who are doctors, would have to deliver their own baby remotely? Slim…

Update: Shoplifting Suspect Who Left Baby in TJ Maxx Turns Herself in

---

We reported yesterday on a horrible story of a mom that abandoned her baby because she was suspected of shoplifting.

Today Newsday writes that the Bronx mother has turned herself into police.

Lieutenant Chris McNerney says 39-year-old Suzette Gruber arrived at the police station Tuesday morning with her attorney. McNerney said she was to be charged with child abandonment and endangering the welfare of a child.

Police say Gruber and another woman were suspected of shoplifting at the discount clothing store on Monday. When a security guard approached she ran leaving the baby in the carriage. However police said she also left behind indentifying information.

Police said a man claiming to be the baby’s father went to police headquarters Monday night with a birth certificate, but officers wouldn’t release the child to him.

The baby has been placed with Westchester Child Protective Services.

What I didn’t know yesterday was that the baby is only 8 months old!! Hearing that really broke my heart.

Could you imagine leaving your 8 month old baby in the middle of a store because you needed to flee the scene?

Toddler Survives Plane Crash

---

A three-year-old girl is being called a miracle baby after being found alive in the wreck of a plane crash near Golden, B.C., yesterday.

The girl, Kate Williams, was the lone survivor of a crash on Sunday that claimed the lives of her grandfather and his business associate.

Rescue crews found Kate strapped into a child’s car seat inside an upside-down airplane buried in snow on the edge of an icy riverbank.

“I think the care that was taken in placing the child in there, that extra protection, is what basically, I think, saved her life,” Golden RCMP Sgt. Marko Shehovac told CTV News.

The little girl’s grandfather, Allen D. Williams, was flying the plane. He is remembered as “a visionary and a leader in the consulting engineering industry throughout Alberta and across the country”.

Williams, 65, the CEO and founder of an Edmonton engineering firm, was in B.C. for a business retreat with Steven T. Sutton, the company’s chief financial officer.

They were flying back to Edmonton when Williams’ Cessna 172 crashed an hour after taking off from Golden around 1 p.m. local time, killing both men.

Hospital officials say that Kate suffered non-life threatening head injuries and was reunited with her parents in the southeastern B.C. community of Golden.

She was admitted to the Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary, for overnight observation.

Rescuers said that bad weather and nightfall hampered the search efforts.

Members of Golden’s search-and-rescue team said when Kate was recovered on Sunday she was scared and cried for her teddy bear.

Maddox’ Shopping Spree

---

Angelina takes Maddox on a shopping spree at KB Toys in Beverly Hills over the weekend.

The lucky guy is loading up the cart with some interesting toys…A warrior dart play set and rapid fire rifle dart blaster.

Pregnancy rumours have surfaced again after the star canceled a speaking engagement last minute due to “personal reasons”.

Letizia Manjani, a spokeswoman for the centre that was holding the fore mentioned engagement, found it difficult to keep the news a secret – despite her being under a gagging order.

She told me: “Angelina cancelled last week. Due to her privacy I can’t confirm her pregnancy, but I can say that the Italian newspapers are correct in their reports.”
