Emily is crawling! Well, sorta....it depends on what your definition of crawling is. She's been doing this army crawl since she turned 10 months old which is totally better than nothing. At least she can get anywhere she wants to and she can do it pretty fast. I've heard from a few people that their typical kiddo army crawled until they got ready to walk and never did a regular crawl.
What is regular anyway?
Because Emily is our first child and I have never grown up around babies, everything she does is normal to me. Someone else has to point something out to me in order for me to understand that we have a problem, if you even want to call it that. But I like the fact that I am learning this parenting stuff with her because it will sure make it easier the next time around!
Right now, we are in the process of teething and boy does it SUCK! My child has been the gripiest thing for the past week. It's either the teething or my PMS rubbing off on her. Is that even possible??
Nevertheless, I'm happy the teeth are coming in because we've stressed out about her possibly missing some of her teeth. I've read this can happen with a child with DS. Thank goodness this is not the case, or at least yet!!!

So I've made up my mind about this law school business. I am so going! I know that if I don't do it I will live my life in regret. I'm kind of tired of people telling me that I can't do things because Emily has Down Syndrome. The last time I checked, Sarah Palin ran the biggest state in America while having an infant with D.S. Everyone says "well she's Sarah Palin". Fine, and I'm Heather Pulido. I can do it too. No one lives the life I do. Not even close.
