Ok, well actually YESTERDAY Brayden turned 10 months old! I just wasn't able to blog. I just can't believe it has been 10 months! I need to start planning his birthday party already! We spent the afternoon at PT yesterday and Brayden showed off his "sitting up" all by himself! We are so proud of him to be able to do this...sometimes DS babies just aren't quite ready to sit up and that is ok...every baby reaches a milestone at different rates...Brayden just decided he was ready for it...We are proud of him and his PT was very proud as well.
Here he is at the beginning of the PT session. You can see Sandy really wondering if he was going to show her how he can sit...she had her hand there just in case...and after a few seconds, she said "he is doing it!" Wow...he can correct himself well if he falls forward or backward, but he he falls sideways, well then YES it is a face plant...but we are working on that!
Brayden getting "Joint Compressions" before his work out...
Smiling for the camera...
Some tummy workout crunches...
Sitting like a big boy...
Here he is practicing crawling...not quite there. We are working hard though... We are just amazed at Brayden...we have been so fortunate that he hasn't had any health issues and is doing so well. I can't help but say how proud we are of him. A year ago, I had so many fears of the unknowns...now I'm not saying this has been a breeze...not only do we live the normal life of everything, but we add therapy appointments in our busy week, along with daily "homework" we work on from his therapists...but how rewarding to be able to see such progress in his growth. He is such a delight to be around. I always look forward to hearing him wake up in the morning as I know I am going to be greeted with a HUGE smile.
Our journey with Down syndrome has been so positive...there are days that I get a little overwhelmed with everything...but this is the life that has been chosen for us...Down syndrome is going to be part of us forever and for this I am so grateful. I can only hope that the lives that Brayden touches can enrich them. Well, off to get my little guy down for a nap...

Happy 10 Months, Brayden!! He is doing SO well!!!
He's doing great and so, so cute! I think you have a great outlook and all of your kids will benefit from your love and your very positive attitude!
Brayden looks like he is doing so well! Doesn't the time go by so quickly? It seems like just yesterday Joel was 10 months old and now he is 20 months old!
I can totally relate to feeling overwhelmed sometimes with all of the "homework". I can never seem to fit it all in - I guess you just do the best you can. It really is amazing to see how much progress is made - especially in the first year. Go Brayden Go!!
He is sitting up so great and I adore that smile, so precious! This is such a fun age...I also can not wait to shoot Brayden and your family!
10 months old... what a big boy! And still just as cute as ever!
