Happy 1st Birthday Alaina!








A year ago today my little girl was born at 1:38 PM. It was a really happy and sad day at the same time. We were happy to welcome her into our family, but scared about her health and upcoming surgeries. One year later Alaina is doing better than I had ever thought she would before she was born. She had her annual appointment with the Down syndrome clinic and I'm happy to say she is in perfect health. It was a big sigh of relief to leave the clinic today knowing that we are pretty much done with specialists except for occasional check-ups.
As far as her motor skills go she is doing well there too. Her eating skills are always improving, she is eating some table foods and drinking from a straw regularly now. This all while she still has no teeth! She can move in and out of sit, stand with support, army crawl, and get up on all fours. We are so proud of Alaina and thank everyone for the awesome support shown to us this year! Happy 1st Birthday Alaina!

Alaina, if you can "ARMY" crawl, you can do any thing! We are so proud of you and your Mom and Dad. You are a very blessed little girl with the very best parents around. Happy Birthday little one. Love Grandma and Grandpa Harvey
