What a great day!

Today was AJ's cardiology follow-up.   Daddy decided to go with us this year.   It's always a appointment that I especially never look forward to.  I seemed like the first three years of his life there was always something wrong when we went to that appointment.   So this year we went again with hopes up and Alexander's heart looks beautiful.   Those are the words from the doctor.   So awesome to hear.  :)   We had to do our annual echocardiagram and he did great.   We watched Aladdin while the Tech did that.   So happy for our little guy.  :)  

Emma's Painted Nails

So we painted sissy's nails a few days ago!   She absoulutely loved it!   All she did was talk about her nails all night long.    I figured that since she is always so mesmerized about my nails it was time to start painting hers.   She hated having the toilet paper in between her toes though.  

Summer - Pool Fun!!!

My kids (especially Emma) love the swimming pool!!!   Emma really has no fear so once she learns to swim she is going to be everywhere.    AJ still thinks that he is safest sitting on top of a raft.   LOL    He loves just to be in the baby pool or their kiddie pool!    We have had them both in lessons and we will continue this until they can both swim!   I guess mom is secretly hoping for a swimmer like her.....

Step Up for Down Syndrome 2011

So Alexander's walk was in June!   Like always it was a HOT day but very tolerable.   Like always we had a blast!   I really think Alexander knows that its his day and that we are celebrating him having Down Syndrome.   I get SOOOO excited for this day!    It is so special for our whole family!!!   I tell Alexander that it is his special day and he gets spoiled all day!      Thanks for all who support us!  

Emma's First pigtails

So I was off work for something or another back in April and we attempted Emma's first pigtails!!!   We did it and she absolutely loved it!!!   

Easter 2011

A few photos from Easter - this was a first at Matt & Kristi's new house in St.  Louis!   It was also Dad's Birthday so we celebrated for him too!!!!

Emma Catch Up

Our little drama queen has been pretty healthy too!   We have only had 1 ear infection since Jan.   I am a little worried because we haven't gotten any teeth in a LONG time.   For Emma, everytime we get a tooth a bad ear infection follows.   Other than Emma's ears she is pretty much healthy.

Emma is our talker - really can't believe how early she started talking.   As of late she has now started to climb on everything!!!   She also eats everything in site!   So glad we have 2 good eaters!!!
