My son Jayden

Jayden is about a year and a half old. He was diagnosed with Downs Syndrome a few days after he was born. I have to say we have been blessed with him and I thank God everyday for him and for the strength He has given us. We have gone through so much in the last year and a half but I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. He "talks" so much, today alone he was probably only quiet for 5 minutes if that. I dont understand what he says most of the time but i know that one day we will. My mom taught him how to say "ouch" when we were in LA and he sounds so cute. He's also starting to say "thank you". He's not walking by himself yet but he is trying to walk with only one of his hands being held I'm so proud of him. He walked for quite a bit today. Im looking forward to what is to come because I know that whatever it is we will make through and try to enjoy every minute of my time with my son because only God knows when my last moment with him will be. 

Matthew 19:14

 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

First Post

So this is my first post. My name is Samara and I'm a stay at home mom of one. Originally from Los Angeles but currently living in Georgia. I'm 24 years old. I love my family and miss them terribly I just came back from a month stay with my family and I had lots of fun with the exception that my maternal grandmother passed a week before I had to come back. On the positive side to all of this was that I was able to reconnect with some of my cousins. I just recently taught myself to knit so I will be posting about that. I love cooking and I love food but I am trying to lose weight so I will be sharing recipes that are more healthy but now and then I will share some of the foods I love that aren't so healthy.
