31 for 21: I have Down syndrome. Look what I can do.

This month was Down Syndrome Awareness Month.  I told you stories about what I like to do and things that happened each day. Mommy and I said at the beginning we would tell you what DS means in our house.  Here’s all of my things I showed you…

  • I have Down syndrome.  I like to play at the park. I like to be with my family.
  • I have Down syndrome. I love football! I like to cheer for the Bears and I LOVE touchdowns!
  • I have Down syndrome. I love to play with my grandmas. I like to see all my family.
  • I have  Down syndrome. I love to talk and be silly.

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
