No doubt these two were made for one another 🥹

Just like any child would ❤️

I have really enjoyed watching my parents have this one on one time with Millie while just the two of us visit them this week. The smiles on their faces are as big as mine, if not bigger, when she smiles at them. I love witnessing the joy she brings. When we found out she had Down Syndrome, I had so many fears for how my life would be negatively affected and also worried how it would affect theirs. But, I was so wrong. A child brings joy, regardless of a diagnosis. We are all so blessed to have our Millie.

Happy Fathers Day Morgan! We appreciate all you do for our family. Always know that one of us (most likely Millie) will be here to rub your head and sing you lullabies after a long day:)

Can’t stop watching!
How she strung together “know my ABCs”. 🤯
If there’s a clip I find myself rewatching the moment I wake up, it needs to go on the feed 🙃.

It might seem kinda silly to you that I’m so excited about this little “milliestone”, but moments like this make my heart burst for days. Millie’s never strung together words like that before. These are some of the moments that make Down Syndrome so special, because these seemingly little milestones, feel so incredibly huge and exciting!

She’s always doing stuff like this for me in times when I need them most. I’m obviously so proud of what Millie has accomplished but lately she’s plateaued in some areas (and even lost some things she once did before). I want the best for her and I unfortunately don’t know all the best ways to help her at home. I feel like I’m not doing enough for her . So this past week I have been working on finding her a consistent speech therapist and am falling up short. I’ve been so discouraged. She will get some speech during the school year but it’s very minimal and because she LOVES to learn and her brain is so malleable right now, I am hoping I can find her the amount of therapy she deserves (she has had very little speech therapy in her life since her early intervention primary therapy was PT for so long).

So, in the midst of me trying to help her, she’s showing me signs, “I got it mama, you just need to be patient”. Something I still need to work on a little more 😉

She makes me so happy ❤️We’ve been a little quiet this week- my mom is in town and I’ve been soaking up moments with her while also spending special time like this with each of my girls. Hope everyone had a great week! Cheers to the weekend!

Children with Down syndrome remind us that life's greatest gifts come in many forms.
