I haven't updated this in a little while, so here we go! Now that the weather is finally warm, we are taking advantage of it, and having a blast!!! We spent Memorial Day weekend at a couple of cookouts, at a parade, and taking Ty for his first "big boy" swim in the pool! He had a blast! It's the first time he can really enjoy being in the sun since he was so young last summer, so we've had fun!
Our 14.5 month old little guy is growing and changing like crazy this spring. It's amazing how their little personalities really start to develop after they turn 1! Ty is army crawling like crazy, and gets into pretty much everything these days. He managed to get into the dog's water bowl the other morning, and dump the entire thing all over himself! He is getting pretty good at standing now, and is about to start "cruising" along furniture. One of his hobbies lately is hiding things in small places, and behind larger things on shelves. I get a lot of little toy surprises these days! He also loves playing music on his musical table and dancing. He's quite the dancer! There's always something new happening!
Happy start of summer!

Happy Mother's Day!!!
Happy Mother's Day!!! I can't believe it's been a year since my first Mother's Day last year. Ty was only 2 months old last year, and was this tiny little peanut of a thing. What a difference a year makes!
First Mother's Day 2010
(And clearly VERY happy to be celebrating with me!)
Mother's Day 2011
(much bigger, and much happier!!!)
As I write this the boys are making me breakfast (well, one of them is doing most of the work), and we'll have a low-key day exploring the trails and orchards behind our house. These are my favorite days!!! I'm so lucky to have such great boys to celebrate with!
I also wanted to share a special Mother's Day blog post with you, written by another mom who has a child with Down Syndrome. She had posted online asking for moms to share what they love about their babies with DS, and what moms wished other people knew about being a parent of a child with DS. She put it all together in a beautiful montage of responses and pictures on her own blog. I loved reading it, especially for Mother's Day, and I thought some of you would probably enjoy it too! It's long, but worth it!
