Happy 2nd Birthday Ruby!

Today, DSFN had our monthly playdate and it also happened to be Ruby's birthday! Logan got a chance to play with all of his friends and also celebrate with Ruby and her family.

DSFN Playdate

Happy 19 Months Logan!
Today, we met some of our DSFN friends for our monthly playdate. Logan had a great time and it was fun to watch the kids all playing together. They are all mobile now and I can't wait to see what they are like when they can all walk and run around together!

Ruby
Aaron, Ruby and Logan. It is so exciting to see them all standing and cruising around the table!! They are growing up so fast! Ruby and Logan are almost exactly the same age (4 days apart) and Aaron is 4 months younger.
Lilja is going to be 3 in January.

Aaron, Ruby and Logan.Aaron is SO smiley and has been since he was much younger. So adorable!

Playdate

Yesterday, Devin, Logan and I had a play date with the Down Syndrome Family Network. Ruby was full of smiles for me! She is so adorable! We also finally got to meet new baby Aaron. He was so tiny and precious. I have already forgotten that Logan was that tiny only months ago. Aaron is doing really well. He is three weeks old now and wasn't due until the 20th of this month (October!!).

Meeting Down Syndrome Families

I have been overwhelmed (a good kind of overwhelmed) by the response I have gotten from families who have a child with Down syndrome. I have gotten connected through Parent to Parent, DS Association of Wisconsin and the Arc of Appleton. The Arc has a wonderful group called the DS Family Network. They meet as a playgroup every week. I have also had families wanting to meet us and we have since gotten together with three different families individually. I also plan to hopefully go to a Down to Earth meeting in Oshkosh soon.


Logan meets Ruby, born only 4 days before him.
