• Yeah for Noah! That is awesome. We are still working on our daughter sitting on her own. We are starting to get close. I remember when it seemed like forever before she could hold her head, then to push up on her arms, now sitting is our current goal as well as being up on all fours. I think having children with DS lets us as parents focus on things the average parent takes for granted. We truly get to enjoy the miracles that our children are.

• Thanks! How old is your daughter by the way? Noah works hard. :)

• Wow! That's awesome! I love it. Joseph is mastering sitting up all on his own and holding his bottle too. Just makes you go crazy as a parent to know how hard they work to master these skills :) they're awesome kids! Oh and last night we confirmed the budding of a tooth :)

• Wow..that's BIG NEWS!! Thanks of reshaping that. Noah is just now starting to hold his own bottle also. We love holding him, but man it's nice to see him finally be able to feed himself. What a great goal!

  Congrats! :)

• wow, he is so adorable! He actually reminds me of my oldest son when he was little. The blonde hair. Our second son was 7 wks old when we adopted him, so this brings back memories. He is 3 yrs. old now.

• Awww..that is so awesome. Have you posted a picture of him on our Facebook page? We all like pictures. :)

• A few months ago, our church was sending a group on a mission trip to Mexico in it's ancient bus that always breaks down (seriously, at least once every trip). The pastor at church made a request during service that everyone pray for the bus. Warren didn't like the Sunday school, and we've since switched to another church, but he would sit with me through the service (quiet and totally still). Anyway, at prayer time that night I started to say prayers (Warren bows his head but has me talk) and when I got to amen, he freaked out. He kept saying "NO!" and "Bus Mom bus!" It took me a couple minutes to figure out through the whining that he wanted to pray for the bus going to Mexico. It's the first time he's ever asked to pray for something specific like that and it was awesome!

  And the bus didn't break down!

• Wow....!!! That is HUGE!!! What a fun story to share. I think I would have totally teared up. :)

  Way to go Warren!!!

  I can't wait for the day when Noah asks to pray. :)

  Thanks for sharing that story.

• Way to go Noah. Your getting there little guy:-)
  Samantha has been able to reach out and hit the toys on her gym. A big yeah, as she wasn't looking to have much cordination with her upper body. But we have worked with her daily and it's paying off.

• Thanks!

  And that is great about Samantha.

  How old is she by the way?

• She turned 17 weeks on Friday. She has 2 big sisters to cheer her on. It helps :-)

• So cool! I can't wait for Noah to have brothers and/or sisters. :)

  I keep thinking how fun that would be. What are their age differences?

• Virginia is our oldest at 8 Shelby will be 3yrs on Wednesday. We have completed our family with Samantha. I think it's great having 3 girls and hope they grow up and have that sister bond. Hopefully you will be blessed with siblings for Noah. He is ADORABLE!!!!

• Wow. I just want to say thank you. I've only had time to peruse a small amount of your blog, but what I have seen fills me with joy. I'm so appreciative that you have presented your heart and soul in your son and given the world eyes to see his accomplishments. They are well worth proclaiming.

• Thanks so much! I really appreciate the comment. I'm glad you found our blog, and hope you enjoy following Noah's story. :)

  By the way I checked out your blog...I see your from Texas. What part if you don't mind me asking...so are we! :)

  And..I used to be a waiter WAYYYYY back in the day also. I wasn't very good at it though. :)

• WOW! That is great! All that therapy is really helping him. Andrew is 14 months and receives 30 min. of speech, 30 min. of OT and 1 hr. of physical weekly. Just recently he has begun feeding himself! He loves goldfish crackers and cheerios (dry foods) but with wet foods, Gerber diced apples, green beans, he usually grabs several of them and then finally one makes it to his mouth. For the longest time, he would just pick it up and stare at it, then drop it on the floor :) He is still using a bottle...it took him a long time to hold it on his own, but what helped him is a bottle that HEB sells that is indented so that he can grab it...the others are rounded, so he couldn't hold it very well. If you look at the bottle from the top angle, it has a shape of a cross or plus sign. My four year old used this bottle as well when she was younder (typical development). She drank from a sippy cup at 15 months, but I know it will be a long time until Andrew is there....we have the Honey Bear Sippy cup to help with that....but one milestone at a time, right?

• Of course I don't mind!
  Well, I'm from Haslet (a little town north of Ft. Worth) but I'm currently a junior at Baylor so I spend most of my time in Waco!
  What part are you from?

• Wow! What an inspiring story. This blog is an awesome record of the love you & your family have, as well as Noah's accomplishments. You should be proud!

• Thanks do much!

  And we are VERY proud.

  Thanks for your comment and for following our sons story.
