What a milestone! At five years old, I like to refer to her as Little Miss Lemonade since 'Baby' just doesn't fit anymore.

My 4-Year-Old with Down Syndrome
Kara is like a lot of other 4-year-olds. She has her good days & bad, thinks farts are hilarious & refuses to eat broccoli. I value every moment I have with these two. Life has never been more FUN. They love life & make us laugh every day.
My 3.5-Year-Old With Down Syndrome

My 2.5-Year-Old With Down Syndrome
My oh my, time does fly when you're having fun! Kara is now 2.5 years old! She has been up to a whole LOT in the past six months. For starters, she became a BIG SISTER two days before her 2nd birthday. The bond she has with her little sis is truly indescribable. I knew that she'd do wonderful with a baby around, but I didn't how just how wonderful. She has really grown up & is already setting a good example for little Nora.

TWO years of … Continue reading My 24-Month-Old With Down Syndrome

My 21-Month-Old With Down Syndrome
Baby Lemonade is 21-months old! It's starting to get weird calling her "Baby" Lemonade at this point, especially after the month we've had. I've got two words for you: Developmental. Explosion. This sweetpea is 20 lbs, 29 in. & has 10 teeth. If you caught Kara's last Health Update you know that we started her … Continue reading My 21-Month-Old With Down Syndrome
