Journaling about my kids (plural- wow!) for me; updates on our life for our wide circle of loved ones is for, well, our loved ones; sharing about life with a spunky toddler and the emotional highs and lows of having a wonderful baby with Down Syndrome is for anyone who might be on a similar journey.

All this laughing Liam is doing now is pretty tiring stuff.  After the day he laughed for the first time (he did it on demand when Pedro came home from work!), he slept 9 hours!!
Yesterday he turned 3 months old, end of the "fourth trimester".  And I will never have a newborn baby again.  Oh, being a mom is so bittersweet! 
Liam's main goal in life now is to put his hand in his mouth.  He spends a long time looking at, mostly his right hand, and watching it circle in the air in front of his face, waving it around and trying to master control of his body and get that dang thing in his mouth!
I remember when Lupe was at this stage.  But now Lupe is 3 and goes to preschool- and LOVES it!  She colors within the shapes in a coloring book and says funny things.  The other day while taking a bath she said, "Mom, my legs are going to get married- to each other!".
Here is a photo of Lupe at around the same age Liam is now, 3 months.  I think she is taking a rest after a long morning of trying to suck on her fingers.
So rest ye children! Tomorrow is another day!
