31 for 21

Well... it's that time of year again!!! DOWN SYNDROME AWARENESS MONTH!!! I have always loved October, that is until my Dad passed away in 2006. Little did I know that six months later I would learn to love October again. Addy will celebrate her 6th birthday this month! How great is it that she was born the month to celebrate DS??? How in the world can she be six??? We started the process of adopting a girl with Down syndrome in July of 2005, she joined our family in August 2007. Still can't believe we are lucky enough to be her parents :)

(One of the first pix I saw of her :) I was hooked immediately!!!)

I haven't blogged in awhile. Things have been super busy and I am down right tired at night! Once I get the baby to bed I usually follow him pretty quickly!

Since it is DS Awareness month naturally I will focus on our beautiful Addy :)  Currently Addy is 36 inches tall and weighs 28 pounds. She's a tiny little almost 6 year old! Addy is fully included in kindergarten and is thriving! She does get a LOT of therapy and goes to the resource classroom 150 minutes per week as well. I'm in the process of getting a really cute video of her showing me some of the great things she is learning :) Just waiting until her little face clears up from the raging sinus infection she has been fighting!
