Weekend in Nashville=fun and new car!!

We went to Nashville to visit with Larry and Janet, and Jesse had come home from L.A too. We had dinner, played, and then it was time for bath...she slept in Gran and Pops room in her new pack and play and she evidently loved it! We got up and waited on Livia to wake up...she woke up at 7 and we fed her then she took another nap...we decided we wanted to go have brunch at Le Pez and then we went shopping at the Green Hills mall and at Tweed we came back and played outside and waited on the guys to get back from golf...We sent Jesse off and then the guys kept Livia and Janet and I went and had a pedicure!  We ended the night by having Mexican for supper! We came back and gave Livia a bath..she went down at 8:30 and slept until 7:30 wow!!!11 hours! This is the 3rd night that she has slept for 10-11 hours. Once she woke up she had her bottle we took a walk outside...we came back in and wanted to show Gran how Livia has been trying to stand! We then went on a 2 mile stroll through the neighborhood. We came back and she had her nap! When the guys came back from their 9 hole round of golf we played for a little bit longer and then packed up and went back to Memphis! To end the weekend we went to Wolfchase Toyota and bought a new SUV! Woohoo...this is the first car we have ever bought and we are so proud! It is a 2012 Toyota Highlander SE...it only had 2 miles on it when we left! This is going to make things so much easier on us especially when traveling! 

Livia loves the guitar....and be sung to!


We have been giving Livia tons of tummy time and it is paying off!
This baby girl is about to take off!
She is giving this a lot of thought
She gets very frustrated toward the end of her tummy time!


Yay!!! I finally got my favorite toy!!


Playtime with my main man!
Uncle Jesse finally came to see me!


 She loves this round pillow!


 This is pretty new! She has been grabbing her left foot but now she is grabbing both!


Love this!!!!
Sweet girl wanting to stand....not sure how I feel about this



She likes when we make the duck squeak and blow the air on her face!

She is getting so good at picking up small objects and putting them to her mouth! 


Car shopping made this sweet girl sleepy!


Woohoo....what a way to end our weekend! We so needed this!

Rock Your Socks for Lera {SAVE THE DATE}

Image
We are extra excited to celebrate our first World Down Syndrome Day! Join us as we “Rock our Socks” for Lera!  March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), the day the Down syndrome community creates a single, global voice advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down syndrome.  Every year, on March 21, people all around the world come together to celebrate by wearing brightly colored or mismatched socks.  March 21 is symbolic because people with Down syndrome have 3 copies of their 21st chromosome. Socks were chosen because the karyotype of Down syndrome chromosomes actually looks like mismatched socks!  We believe it is our family’s mission to raise awareness about our precious Lera, and help change the way the world views Down syndrome one extraordinary day at a time!  💛💙 If you choose to “Rock Your Socks” please share your picture with us to document on the blog! This blog will be printed and used as Lera’s baby book. If you choose...

Lera's Gift

                      Meet our precious baby girl, LERA MICHELLE! Cody and I are choosing to share Lera’s story to hopefully encourage others that may have a similar journey and help change the way the world views Down Syndrome! At 11 weeks our OB at the time noticed a thickened nuchal fold and suggested we do a genetic blood test. Honestly, we didn’t believe anything would be detected with our baby, we were just looking forward to finding out the gender so early. The results came back, and the screening detected a 76% predictive value for Trisomy 21. Definitely not something we ever expected. And the way it was presented to Cody and me made us leave the appointment scared, confused, and in denial of the results we had just been given. We cried, we were mad, we prayed and processed and prayed some more. We shared the results with our closest family and friends and just like us, they prayed over our baby daily. After t...
