Michael and I firmly believe God creates each child exactly the way he intended for them to be, some might just need a little extra help through life. If only those parents could just see how much of a blessing that our little Landry truly has been in this first year of her life!
Yes as two very young first time parents getting this diagnoses, we were scared, I always thought if we have any questions we can ask our parents, after all they've raised children and they know all about it. But this was something new, even for them, but you know what, we learned together, and God was and is there with us every step of they way, as well as our church, family, and friends.
Our desire is that through us and Landry our community and all people around us can see that DS is not a bad thing and to help bring that percentage down!
I always like to do a little update on what she is up to lately,
still waiving at everyone and trying to give them high five at walmart as we get our weekly groceries, except adding dada to it! she loves her daddy dearly!
Her uncle taught her to shake your hand but only if you say it in Pennsylvania Dutch! Yes we are teaching her Pennsylvania Dutch, but also English. We have had people encourage us to do that, that's what we speak mostly in our home and what we both grew up speaking.
She is mobile by crawling backwards. I love the way her face lights up when I am holding her hands and she stands by herself.
She has also added a couple new words, baby is one of them. While Michael and I were talking one evening she was sitting there contently listening and repeated baby twice after I said it.
That showed us she is very well aware of things going on around her.
Her favorite food to snack on is a Graham Cracker.
And the thing that makes me melt into a puddle every time is her giving you eye-eye.
We love our spunky little princess dearly!
