Evie's first photo shoots


Evie's Photo Shoots
Many of our friends have had newborn photo shoots with their babies.  I wanted so much for Evie to have a tiny baby photo shoot as well, but she was in the NICU, and then had an oxygen tube in her nose for the first 5 months of her life.  Now she is getting bigger by the day, so I felt like we needed to get photos done!

Evie's Uncle Dave was visiting and had his fancy camera, so we had some fun with posing her.  Here is a sample of those pictures:


I like this green stuff they call grass. 

This is so fun!

Mommy! You have sweet potato on your shirt!

You're so funny, Mommy!




More photos to come from Uncle Dave!  Pay no attention to my finger at the bottom of the picture.

Our friend Alice does photography on the side, and was nice enough to spend her afternoon with us.  I love how they came out.  Here is a sample of those!  She has an awesome photography blog, if you want to check out more of her work at https://duckie1023.wordpress.com/. 

Looks contemplative...really going for sucking on Mommy's hand

She allowed me to keep the headband on her for the whole time!

My favorite.

New banner photo?

Sleeping beauty...in the middle of the photo shoot.

Making the most out of nap time

She kept her eyes closed for most of the outside shots!

What's up, guys?

Comb over. 

What's so funny?

Too many kisses, Mommy!


Thank you to my expert photographers!!  You made my wish come true!

    Cool! You might want to link to her actual Instagram account (https://instagram.com/evietheextraordinary) instead of just the Instagram homepage.

Then she came home and started busting out of the blankets, and woke herself up all the time. Her arms flailed and her legs kicked while she was sleeping, which of course woke her up. But then she got bigger and craftier, and I needed to fin

Going public: Down Syndrome Awareness Day and what it means to us.

Starting this blog was a big deal for me. It's hard to throw out there in conversation that my baby girl has Down Syndrome, because that extra chromosome makes people view her differently. But because it is Down Syndrome Awareness Day on 3/21, I'm going public. Do you know why it's on the 21st?  Because of the 21st chromosome having an extra copy! So far, Evie has just been our beautiful baby girl who is learning to smile and reach for things. But as she grows older, I want our extended circle of friends to know, so that they can treat her as a typical little girl who may be a little delayed in her development, but will want to be included just like other kids.  I want the other kids to play with her and to learn that little girls with disabilities like to have fun too. Our story about our diagnosis is here .   Now that we've met Evie and know what we're dealing with, it's not SO scary as it was before.  Still overwhelming sometimes , but I wouldn'

Jumping and Friendship Crafts with Evie

This Youtube video was at first made to showcase Evie's first real jump on a trampoline. Then it became a video with a message about making new friends, because I was just so impressed with how Qole gave Evie the space she needed to feel comfortable enough to say yes to getting on the trampoline.   And then as we were making a paper craft about friendship, and we were pulling out different pieces of color, I was struck with how it became a teaching moment for my daughter that people of all colors can hold hands and can look out for each other. May it be so. The world needs it now more than ever.
