Down Syndrome Awareness Month

October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, a friend sent this to me and I thought it would be a good idea for Jess as well. Ive listed just 21 things we love about Jess, feel free to make your own list and I'll be sure to print them off to keep in her baby book.

21 things to love about Jess...

1. I love what she has taught us all about faith and patience.
2. I love how she makes me smile from the moment she wakes up in the morning.
3. I love the way she says HI! Genuinely excited and happy to see you, even if you just left the room a minute ago and came back.
4. I love her hugs... for a little girl she sure has big hugs!
5. I love how she takes care of all her babies. She feeds them, burps them, gives them a big hug and kiss... then throws them across the room as hard as she can. She'll give a big sigh and look at me as if to say, there that's done. Then its onto something else. Makes me laugh every time!
6. I love her hands, they are so soft yet strong.
7. I love the way she lights up whenever she hears music. She loves to dance!
8. I love watching her and Joey play together.

10. I love that she's my little cuddle bug. She will let you hug, squeeze, kiss and snuggle her for as long as you want to!
11. I love how she outsmarts all her therapists. They will try and try to get her to do something and as soon as they leave, she does it with a smile on her face.
12. I love her giggles.
13. I love her stubbornness.
14. I love her trust in the ones who've earned it.
15. I love how she thinks she has no boundaries.
