HRC, Empress Tatiana is an Auntie again, my daughter gave birth to a 6lb.- 6oz. gorgeous little boy named Tristan Cameron on September 17, 2009. Tatiana doesn’t understand her role as an auntie yet but her first nephew who is 3 adores her, so I have every assurance that this one will too.

I don’t know why, I can’t begin to explain it, I have no idea why just looking at this girl’s face
brings me extreme joy! HRC has been doing real big girl stuff lately, such as feeding herself, We just got her a highchair and my oh my how she has kicked into high gear with her development. She is grabbing fists full of food and shoving it into her mouth. I realize that it may not show good table manners to eat in such a fashion, however when your little one is learning to feed herself on top of the possiblity that she might have had problems doing so, you rejoice at every little milestone. Don’t turn your back on her leaving a plate of food unattended, it just might not be there when you turn around.

My new fav blog, It’s Almost Naptime is doing a favorite perfume post today and I wanna play too. So let’s talk about scents. For a gal who loves all things beauty and fashion, to look at me lately you couldn’t tell but I do love a good scent and while I have a few that I truly love, what I am wearing when I remember to put something delicious on is True Star Gold by Beyonce (Tommy Hilfiger)

Now I know what yall are thinking, Beyonce….over the top. but really it isn’t, it is fruity, but spicy and sexy, just like me or the me I strive to be LOL.
I one had a serious obsession with Amariage by Givenchy
but then I moved on to Truth by Calvin Klein
A young love was a rare gem called Nikki de St. Phalle…don’t you just love the name
And to round out the selections Paloma Picasso was an early adulthood favorite.

Who do you run to when the one who you would run to is the one who is causing you pain??? Just a thought, I needed to express. Love is bliss, blind and also capable of delivering a blow so quick and hard that it knocks the wind out of you. I guess that is all can say without password protecting this post.
HRC is terrific, this is not about her in any shape, fashion or form! This post is totally about me!

HRC is finally getting teeth!!! I am crazy excited as you can tell. Who gets excited about their child’s ability to now bite anything and anyone who gets near her mouth? You just met her…ha ha. I’ve been waiting for HRC’s teeth to come in and they are fulfilling my wish. She has two little chiclets on the bottom and on the upper right side two more are trying to make their way up and out. If she will let me in her mouth without biting me, I’ll post a pic or two.

HRC was dedicated today, it was a wonderful service. My Pastor preached a great sermon and his words of encouragement were a blessing to my family. HRC was her charming self, capturing the hearts of everyone near and far. We are on the countdown to the 1st Birthday….

Her Royal Cuteness is being dedicated in two weeks (for those who don’t know that is the equivelent of being christened) wish I could invite you all but pray for us anyway. Will post pics as soon as it takes place.
HRC is doing well, she had great sessions with her therapist this week and they agree that my baby is moving on up. Her very first birthday is fast approaching, in fact its two days after her dedication, can you tell how excited I am !!!

Hi all:
I never realize how much time has passed in between me making a new entry, it is almost July and I haven’t been here since April, wow. Lots of changes have been taking place and for a change most of them are all good!! Tatiana is exceptional and making great strides daily. She has developed quite a little personality and doesn’t have any qualms about showing it, i.e, I am trying to be nice and find descriptive words that are kind. We love all the facets of her personality but it is a misnomer that people with Down syndrome are always happy, she is mostly joyous but she has no problem expressing her displeasure at something. So take that to whoever said that she will always be happy…ha.
We found the cutest Father’s Day card for her to give to her daddy on Sunday, it read To Daddy from Her Royal Cuteness. It fits her most appropriately and henceforth she will be from here on out known as Her Royal Cuteness, Empress Tatiana Michaela, HRC for short.

Tuesday Tatiana turned 9 months old! Where did the time go, soon her one year birthday will be approaching…how will we celebrate? I haven’t been around much, I know but I can’t seem to focus on blogging much, I just stalk others blogs. Tatiana has been sick, she came down with pneumonia but in spite of it, she still was a super trooper. All appears to be well now, but I am keeping a sharp eye on her for now.
Life with a child who has Ds so far has not been so different from raising my children who do not have Ds. A few additional doctors appointments here, two weekly therapy sessions there (and I can’t say it is inconvenient as they come to our home), I feel that we are blesed indeed. She is slightly delayed as she is unable to sit up unsupported…yet, she is trying her best and really only needs to gain balance. I fully expect that one day soon, she will surprise us by crawling. She is too adorable, her latest trick is to hold her arms out for someone to pick her up, when she does that it melts my heart completely. she is irresitable.
