Baby Landree is six months old today! I can't believe she's been here for a half a year already! Although it's hard to remember life without her. Rick and I thought back to the day she was born. I remember how scary it was and how sad we felt when
we first found out she had Down Syndrome. Of course that sadness went away the second we held our baby girl. There are so many things I wish I had known at the time. When they took her away to the NICU I wish I would've known not to cry. She would be back
in just a little while. I wish I would've known that she was healthy and was going to be ok. Her pediatrician and ECI would help us figure out what to expect. I had a hard time believing it when people said our lives might be a little different than we thought
but just as happy. I wish I could've known that those people knew what they were talking about. She's so happy and has such a funny little personality. At first my mind raced over all of the things that she might not be able to do. Now I'm thinking kids with
Down Syndrome might just have an advantage in the cheerleading department. She's so flexibile, her toe touches are going to be hard for other kids to compete with some day! Just kidding! I wish I could've told myself that after the first six months,
I certainly don't feel like we've missed out on anything and she's such a blessing that I wouldn't care if we did. I can't go back but maybe what I know now can help somebody else. Life with Landree is great and I wouldn't change a thing!
