Down syndrome isn’t hard. We just happened to get a few extra hurdles - am I right? I think the hardest part of Ds is trying not to compare your child to other typical children and their milestones. Nora has been advanced her entire life, so it’s a different experience learning patience with Hannah’s development.
My personality is the type for meeting expectations... I push Hannah with her exercises and she’s doing very well holding her head up now. We’re slowly getting her into the Bumbo as is her babysitter. I was excited at dinner to see Hannah reaching for toys while sitting in her swing - reaching is a new move for her!
I will always push Hannah [as I do Nora] to learn and develop to their best!
I could just eat her up in that pink!! And comparing is just what we moms do. Seriously, I compared Evelyn's verbal skills to Nora and Ava Bronkhorst all the time!! Your girls were definitely on the advanced spectrum and Evelyn...couldn't...even! haha
ReplyDeleteA big advantage that Hannah has in having you & Tim for parents is that you will expect her to succeed in all things. May not be as quickly as Nora, but, she will do wonderful things!
ReplyDelete5 months...what?! She is looking so cute--love those cheeks! Ugh--so cute.
