My song

Today my mommy picked a song for my blog...her brain was stalled (as usual) so she called Brooke who reminded her of Sweet & Low. First of all its by Augustana, and we are big fans...secondly, Brooke used to sing this to me when I was first born. Mommy added the Lyrics so you can check them out and see this is indeed my song!!
Anywhere you go, anyone you meet,
Remember that your eyes can be your enemies,
I said, well hell is so close And heaven's out of reach
I ain't giving up quite yet,I've got too much to lose
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, and I'll carry you home
Rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine,
The wind is gonna blow, the water's gonna rise
She said, when the day comes, look into my eyes
No one's giving up quite yet, We've got too much to lose
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down,And I'll carry you all the way,
You say you're fine But you're still young,
and out of line All I need is to turn around,
To make it last, to make it count
You're gonna make the same mistakes
That put my momma in her grave I don't wanna be alone
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girl
Hold me down, sweet and low, and I'll carry you home
Hold me down, sweet and low, little girlHold me down, and I'll carry you home...

MRI

Today I went to the hospital for an MRI. I had to be sedated because at not yet 9 months old, I dont understand when people to tell me to lay still. I had an I.V. which didn't feel so great. I cried but not too much. Mommy was there the whole time helping me thru it. Everything went fine and we were able to leave fairly quickly.

Last week I had a small procedure. I had tubes put in my ears. I had to be sedated for that too, but no I.V., just gas. I had a harder time with that actually. I woke up very fussy which is not my norm and they had to give me a dose of Phenobarbatol.

Luckily I am very healthy. Most kids with Down Syndrome have cardio or respiratory problems and I have had none. Mommy and Daddy are very happy about that, and they are thrilled with my gross motor and fine motor progress. I am reaching all my milestones ontime or just a few weeks behind!!

I am chillin' in the swing for now. Just relaxin' which is what I do best. See ya!!
