I am truly blessed to have a wonderful husband and 4 beautiful children. Our story is not unlike many others, but it is ours to cherish. This is my outlet (my therapy, if you will) and my way to keep those who are interested up-to-date on our journey, especially that of our son Luke who has Down syndrome. I will make it a priority to spread awareness about Down syndrome through this blog and other outlets.

Big things come in small packages

I just happened to be looking at pictures from last year at this time and found this picture of Luke working on sitting up on his own...
Even though it was only for a couple of seconds, it was a huge moment that he sat up on his own, especially because he was just coming out of a major period of regression due to his seizures.  

Today was a big day for Luke.  Almost exactly a year later, he did this on his own for a couple of seconds during physical therapy...
He will be fitted for leg braces in the next couple of weeks to help with support but, again, this was a huge moment of progress for him.

And more progress notes from today...
He's actually doing the sign for "more" now, instead of just clapping.  He corrects himself in this video!

We have a crawler on our hands now!

As I've said before, these may seem like small feats, but they are BIG to us and for Luke!

Just for fun, some more sibling love...
