Lailee's 6 months

You weigh 16 lbs (50th percentile)

You are 26 inches long (50th percentile)

You are taking a bottle 4 times a day I have started nursing you only in the morning and at bedtime.

You are on our way to crawling and sitting up! 

You try to hold your on bottle.

You sleep from 8 to 6.

You still laugh hard when Liv talks to you! 
She tries to feed you everything she eats! She will put the food to your mouth and say, "Bite?"

You had your first ear infection... :-( the doctor put you on Amoxxicilian.

You move your hands like you are saying hi or bye! And you give me high fives!!

You talk to us all the time! 

You love your bath time! You do the same thing Liv used to do with the faucet! You grab it and love to look at the water! 

You still suck your right fist...you have blisters in between your pointer and middle finger!

You have started eating cereal in the morning and at supper!

You growl and talk all the time! 

You have you first freckle above your left knee!

You love to play peek a boo

You love the peek a boo book...especially chewing on it!

You reach for everything!

You kick all the time!

Rock Your Socks for Lera {SAVE THE DATE}

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.

This blog will be printed and used as Lera’s baby book. If you choose...

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...
