Comments:Edward is 10 months old and very gorgeous he is an angel yet has the devil in him too!the twinkle in his eyes is not often missing and he is spoilt by everyone in his life- when you are first told your child has Downs .. well it hurts for a while and then one day it hits you that they are babies first and foremost and when you stop to think about the kids that are out there with worse problems than Downs . .well you know you just feel lucky and blessed . .I know Edward makes my day with his big cheeky grin and when I cuddle him it just seems he gets as much out of it as I do!

Cassie is now 3 yrs an 2 months,she has started a state pre-school and is doing very well. She is trying to run and says lots of words, which we aree trying to get her to string together.
She has been assessed by Portage at a mental age of 2 and a half, so this goes to show the more time you put into them, the benfits definately show through.
Happy Easter to you all.. x

Comments:I hear your heart beat strong I’ve felt you move to me the news just can’t be true

How can they say something is wrong w/ you

The screen popped up I watched you move all around like babies do

God gave you to me to watch you thru all the things life has in store for you

I hold you close I’ll see you soon no matter what they say about you

A part of me and a part of dad helped create you so how can I ever be sad

Sleep for now let my heart beat comfort you we’ll be together one day soon

I know he was at one time in Claypenny hospital in York.
Any help would be appreciated. Andy T.

Comments:I agree totally with kerry's comments below.
I cant believe Cassie was only 7 months when I first signed the book. She is now 15 months and a little madam!
She grows more gorgeous and funny everyday,she is bum shuffling and does the splits when she wants to reach anything!She has physio and attends a spesh needs centre once a week and is going great guns!
She says lots of words, and babbles even more.
Im so proud of all her achievements, and to new moms out there, its daunting at first, but once their personalities kick in it changes everything, so hang in there..

We would love to hear from anybody who has advice for us as new parents.
