How in the world is my baby two already?!?!
 |
| 4 days old |
It seems like just yesterday we were wondering exactly how Down syndrome was going to change our lives, and today Down syndrome hardly enters into our daily thoughts. We love, work, play and celebrate just like every other family.

| 12 days old....going home from the hospital |
Some parts of our lives may be slower, but others are just as busy and hectic as anyone else's. In other words, normal.

| 3 months |
Ordinary.
 |
| 8 months |
And the more ordinary days, months and years we have, the more I know that no matter what struggles and challenges Down syndrome throws at us, we can handle it. I love that Down syndrome isn't our focus anymore.

Claire is.
Happy Birthday my sweet Claire
Happy, happy birthday beautiful girl!!!! I love that you said that Down syndrome isn't the primary focus anymore. So, so true. :-)

Happy Birthday Claire. Oh how they grow. Love the pictures. They seem so big all of a sudden.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful post for a beautiful, beautiful girl. :)
ReplyDeleteThey grow up so fast! I would imagine that having two kids will affect you more than having a Ds child. In a good way of course! I love all these pictures of Claire, but my favorite is the 14 month one, with the light shining through her hair.
ReplyDeleteHope Claire had a great Birthday!!! It sure is neat to scroll through this post and see pictures of her from day one until now. She is such a beauty!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Miss Claire! You are so lovely and one of these days we are going to get you and Jakey together.
