How did one year go by so fast???

  My lil Hopie Dopie Doo is almost 1 year old! This year flew by. We have been very blessed this year. I am so grateful to have a healthy little girl.  I have been one of the lucky ones, one of the few, that has a healthy DS child.  It is  a  blessing that I do not take for granted.

 We are also lucky to have such a great ECI (Early Childhood Intervention.) We live out in the country, but just so  happen to have an address in Collin County ......Soooo we get the perks of a large ECI in Collin County(McKinney.) We love Hopes therapists. She has a Physical Therapist and a Developemental Specialist that come every 2 weeks.  Hope is an amazing little girl. She is just right where she should be for a 2 mo premature infant WITHOUT Down Syndrome. Shes so determined, and catches on to things so fast. She just started crawling at 10.5 months! She has a smile from the time she wakes up, until she lays down for bed. She learned how to clap about a month ago and just claps the day away. She is still having a hard time feeding herself-but we're working on it!
