Baby Developmental Milestone: Noah Sits Up By Himself!
Since Noah’s our first (and as of today, only) child I have no idea how or when a typical child is supposed to reach their developmental milestones. My wife is a pediatrician and knows that stuff like the back of her hand, but not me. In fact, I’m not really interested in textbook baby milestone charts. In fact, I sort of enjoy Noah developing at Noah’s pace.
Not what some baby milestone chart says should be his pace. 🙂

What Is World Down Syndrome Day | 2012 | Noah's Dad
I have to admit that prior to Noah being born I had no idea that March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day, so don’t feel bad if you didn’t know either. But it is. And if you will give me about 3 minutes of your time, I’ll tell you what it’s all about, and try to give a quick answer to the question, “What is Down syndrome?”
Noah and I put together a short video to tell you a little bit about World Down Syndrome Day and why the date 3:21 is significant. I hope you find it informative and enjoyable! And hey if not, no worries. You’ll get to see a cute little boy for a few minutes that I’m sure will brighten up your day. So it’s a win either way. 🙂
By the way, be sure to check out Noah’s Dad Youtube channel where you can watch all of our videos!)

Somedays You Just Don’t Feel Like Learning How To Walk. And That’s Ok.
Whoever said that all children with Down syndrome are angels that obey every wish of their parents (or their physical therapist) while smiling and hugging them all at the same time, clearly have never met our son. Don’t get me wrong, Noah’s great. In fact I often thank God for creating our boy with so [Read More…]…
