Seriously I had such great intentions in finishing my THankful A-Z posts...but here comes my excuses...we got sick, busy with day to day stuff, and well I am still soooooo thankful for so much! So I will stick to saying what I am thankful for when I posts my pics and videos I have captured. I do want to say I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all of my blogging friends Thankful from A-Z posts though...
Yes 4 out of the 5 of us were sick with a nasty cold for almost 2 weeks...for a mom being sick herself, it was a very tiring week. Glad to say I am feeling almost 100% better! Brayden is still on antibiotics and will be for another 6 days. Thankful we got this before the holiday celebrations begin.
Brayden is up to some new tricks...he is pulling to stand on EVERYTHING and taking a few steps side to side, starting to cruise, he is doing Patty-a-cake all by himself when we sing the song to him...his favorite part is "Roll 'em and Roll'em and THrow them in the pan!" He loves rolling his arms. I was only able to capture the rolling part on video, but will get it all I promise...He was doing it and doing it, then of course when I got the camera...he didn't perform it all. He is still dancing to music...(love this) and standing in the middle of the room all the time now all by himself...if he falls down, he gets right back up and will continue to practice and practice and practice...such a determined little guy...He is also waving bye-bye and Hi...
Cody had an award ceremony and made honor roll. We are so proud of you buddy! Keep up the good work!
Kaylee is doing amazing stuff with her reading capabilities and spelling...she is soaring academically as well and we are so proud of her!
Our pediatrican finally got the H1N1 vaccines in and so today I loaded up the kids and got the flu mists for Cody, Kaylee and myself. Unfortunately they didn't have the dosage for kids under 2 so we are waiting for that. Now I hope I am not kicking myself for getting the mist because after I got home and got on the computer to search out possible side effects ( I thought I did my homework) it stated to be careful around suseptible people after receiving the flu mist since it is a live virus and can stay in the nasal cavity for up to 2 weeks...UGH! Seriously...just when you think you have a little less stuff to worry about, now this PLUS Brayden didn't get the vaccine...so you better believe I will be calling everyday to see when his dosage will be in!
As Thanksgiving is fastly approaching I just want to say thanks to the many friends and family that continue to support us with our journey...I never knew how thankful I would be for Down syndrome...that sounds wierd to say...but the friendships I have made, some I have never met in person, yet they all feel like family to me. I thank you all in the blogging world! I love my family as well and thank you for your love! I never knew how much LOVE I had for people and kids I don't even know in person that is...the tears that flow from my eyes somedays as I read other blogs...the great advice that is given to me and others...what a blessing Brayden is to our family...I can not thank my Heavenly Father enough for him! This is such a great time of year! So sorry I am not finishing out my Thankful A-Z...but know I am thankful for so much! and I will continue to let you all know!!! :)

You certainly do have alot to be thankful for! And, like you, I feel fortunate to know you and so many other amazing families through blogging. What a gift you've all been to me.
I can't wait to get my hands on that boy. We are coming out again probably in the spring, so you better get planning for us to meet? How far away are you from So Cal? I'm ready to come out right now.
YOU did not fail! You are just a very busy mama! I LOVE you more than you'll ever know. You are an amazing Mommy and Friend. I am extremely thankful for Down syndrome. Such a beautiful thing! I have tears streaming down my face the majority of the time as well.
Brayden is doing awesome! That is wonderful! Love seeing him in video... I miss him!

You didn't fail - you are just busy and sometimes busy means we don't get to do everything we want. Brayden is so cute. Carter's favorite thing is pat-a-cake too! Thanks for the video - it is fun to see him in action! I am also thankful for Down Syndrome.
OH I loved this post! Everything sounds like it's going so well, except for the sick part!
It's just amazing the life this blogging world has taken on! I too am thankful for it everyday.
Brayden is doing awesome and gets cuter and cuter.
Congratulations to Cody and Kaylee too! Good job guys!

Wow, he is doing so well. We to have found so many great families through blogging. It's been so helpful to see how other kids are doing and how parents are handling all that comes our way. Thanks for your post.
