Lily is still working on her word skills. She is now 11! Though she does great with no accidents during the day. She still needs a diaper at night.

Hi, I have no idea what I’m doing but I’ll give it a try. I’m 18 and I’m 15 weeks pregnant. I just discovered last week that my odds are 1.76 in having a DS baby. My partner and myself have decided we don’t want to risk harming the baby in doing the diagnostic test. I’m really scared. I really want children, I’m a childcare worker and want…[Read more]

But, this year I have noticed him to begin saying a few new words. As for party training I have not started that head on yet. I plan on trying to tackle that hurdle over the summer. Good…[Read more]

Hi Nicole, thank you for the reply. My son also yells quite a bit to get his point across to..lol He signs very little as we have always been more verbal with him. His diaper changing has always been a breeze no struggles there. Good luck on the training this summer, It is not a daily thing for us yet, but now and then I will take him with me and…[Read more]

Kayla is now 15 months old. She is so beautiful! She scoots around the house on her bottom since she can not yet crawl. She is quite fast. LOL! I love seeing her explore.

Daniel did the commando crawl for a while. He got very fast at it, then he crawled bear style. He skipped crawling on all fours. He started walking at about 2 and a half. Now he is six and runs, jumps, and climbs stairs fairly well.

My lucy is 18 monhs old and does the army crawl too. Im so excited bc she is all over with it. She can get in the crawling position and then sits again and so forth but prefers to army crawl… Its amazing how fast they r at it.

Hi Everyone. My name is Niamh Mc Ardle, I live in Ireland and have 2 sons, Zach and Alex. Zach is 5 and Alex is 4 and Zach has Downs Syndrome. We didn’t know when Zach was born that he had downs. He passed all the usual paediatric tests and it was only when I looked at him later on that I thought he had some of the usual downs features. I…[Read more]

Great story Niamh…it always seems to work that way, initial worry and concern, followed later by a thrilling life of enjoyment! I know where you came from, my daughter was a 1 in 4,600 chance of having Down syndrome, yet here I am. The support is so crucial so for anyone out there I’d like to add to Niamh’s thoughts by saying GO GET that…[Read more]

Happy to be here and excited to meet some amazing people associated with Down syndrome. Only if I knew how to ”crop my Avatar” then I could post a picture of my little one. I have a long Labor Day weekend so I have some time to figure out what’s most likely something very easy to do!

Hi my name is christina, My son Gabriel has down syndrome. he is two and we are having a hard time getting him to eat. some say it’s because he is picky some say he wants to do it himself. anyone else have this problem? any advice??
-
do you guys go through early on ?? that sounds like a really good question for the ocupational therapist.. they have answered so many questions about that kind of stuff for me.. although now savannahs just the opisite if i let her feed herself she shuvs handfulls of food in her mouth
-
although one big thing for her and eating was she would choke really easy because her muscles were too weak.. so just to make sure hes not struggling i would bring it up to the doc and see if they wanna do some kind of test or the early on therapist could come over and watch him eat and tell you whats going on….. good luck

Everythings going good. Gabriel got his special new shoes and braces a few weeks ago. His physical therapist said she doesn’t foresee him needing them for long though. He can now pull himself up to standing when he’s in his playpen or crib.
