Hello, all! I want to reintroduce myself and my daughter. I am Maria and my daughter is Isabella. She is 20 (almost 21) mos. old! She was born May2, 2002. It was not known that she had DS before she was born. She was also born with a congenital heart defect. I'm sure alot of you are familiar with the AV Canal defect, as I was told it is a common heart defect among children like ours. We have fought many battles together, and she has grown into a beautifully healthy and loving little girl!
She is also beginning to walk. Not freely, yet, but she is getting there. She is in the process of mastering standing. She is VERY independent. She doesn't want me to help, too often, these days. She is also signing. We have about five signs that she uses on a regular basis, and I am teaching her more. She is beginning to talk, as well.
I have posted, in the past, on the MB as well as the BB. I am familiar with a few members, but I see there are alot of new people here, as well. I look forward to sharing stories and getting to know other parents! I now have more time to do these things!
To those of you who have read this already, I forgot that we have moved! We live in Dallas. I was so excited about posting this that I automatically put Fort Worth in the above space!! OOPSIE!!
