future cheerleader

Having Ds makes you really flexible.

Check out Leighton's trick..

(looking at me like-are you ready Mom?)

(check this out)

She loves playing with her feet, and it sure does help that she can contort her body anyway she likes to get them.

I love it! 'ready set go!' I love how you can 'feel' what she thinks and feels so well... i can't even describe it, but it's amazing to feel so connected to her that way :-)

About This Blog-

This blog is mostly about Leighton, and how she has changed our family. We were blessed with our little Leighton in 2011. We didn't know she had a little something extra before her birth. She was born with an extra 21st chromosome. We didn't know it at the time, but she was going to change our lives as most babies do, for the better. This is just a day to day of what life is like having a daughter, or sibling with Down syndrome. It's truthfully in essence the same, if not better as our life before we had her. We do the same things, but some how she makes us better, and happier people. She has become the center of our family. We heard about a boy in college who also had Trisomy 21 wearing a shirt that said High on Chromosomes, and I decided that's what I want Leighton to feel. So I named her blog after that shirt. I want her to feel an extra chromosome is nothing to be ashamed of (it's something she can't change, and you may not believe it, but I wouldn't want that anyway). It's always going to be a part of her. I want her to be proud of it.
