Mr & Miss Personality

I am amazed at the duo's budding personalities. They are becoming little people. Brooke and Caden both love to make people laugh! Caden is really into expressions lately. He uses "oh no", "wow" and "ahh man" a lot. He got "ahh man" from Dora.

We haven't been doing a whole lot of anything here at the Shipley house. Shopping here and there and installing Luke's new tv and blueray (brat!). It's his early Christmas present (although we agreed not to buy Christmas presents this year). We've just been enjoying hanging out with friends and family.

We went today to get a xray for Brooke to see if she had Atlantoaxial Instability. It occurs in about 15% of people with Down Syndrome. If she does have it she won't be able to participate in her new therapy (therapeutic horseback therapy-which she starts in January).

All that Dora watching was exhausting!
