31 for 21: 7th year


Grab This Button

Mommy reporting: The brainchild of my friend Tricia (whose writing I do so miss… in case she happens by), 31 for 21 is now in it’s 7th round.  Hard to believe.  Tricia has handed off the hosting duty to another friend, Michelle, who is doing a marvelous job, as she always does.

October is Down syndrome awareness month, and I’m guessing since this blog has all but lost it’s previous flow of readers (I blame Faceb**k but it’s more likely the long breaks I’ve taken, in fairness), those of you who are here are probably well aware of how 31 for 21 works.  If you click the button—which I’m proud to say I created for Tricia a few years ago, per her design requests—it’ll take you to the more formal explanation.

Anyway, the idea is that I try to post every day in October.  It might not be much.  Which is sad because there is SO much DS related-ish stuff I could write about. But I’m living it, and it’s leaving little room for writing about it.

I’ll do my best.  It’s all about this tiny girl…

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?!?  :)
