31 for 21: Bear Down, Chicago Bears!

October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month. So we’ll highlight a few little special things about what DS means in our house.
[I have Down syndrome. I love football! I like to cheer for the Bears and I LOVE touchdowns!]

Football is big at our house.  But Bears football is the best!!  On game days we get our Bears Wear out and get ready to cheer. This was us last Sunday…

And this was from yesterday… we started with some reading practice with Daddy before we left in the morning.

Then we went to Auntie Rachel’s to watch the game.  They get the channels that play Bears, and we don’t. So they are nice enough to let us watch it there.  We took some pictures on the fireplace.

Grandma  C got to come yesterday for the Bears game, with Uncle Ethon and Auntie Cheryl.  It was a good game, and we won!!  I got to yell “Touchdown” a few times, and that’s lots of fun when we all jump around and cheer!

Mommy report: Chatty girl

Braska's been just loving her words lately. She's still signing some, mostly when we're in public or around strangers, but she's adding more words all the time. Many of her words are just attempts at the actual word, but that's where we all start, right?!? We're not saying that she'll be giving speeches next month, but we are very proud that she's become such a mimic and that she is loving using so many sounds. We practice often, just running through her words, signs, and tricks. She especially loves to chime in with videos of herself, so I've been working on compiling all her favorites for her to work with. As I was editing this, she was sitting here saying the words over and over. So funny to hear her talking to herself on the screen and loving it. So here's a peek at some clips from our practice session tonight. Some words are more obvious than others. They are all great attempts, though, and we'll celebrate that! Make an on-line

Nebraska meets Indiana

Braska's reaction to meeting the very kind Rory Feek and his beautiful daughter Indy.  I missed the part where Braska said Indy was sooooooooooo cute!  :) Our dream would be a photo showing the two most beautiful "states" together, right?!?  :)
