DS Clinic and Cincinnati Zoo

Today we visited the DS Clinic at Cincy Children's. Emmy was looked at by a ST and OT. They watched her nurse to make sure she wasn't having any feeding issues and were happy that she was so vocal (despite her hearing issues). Then, two MDs that specialize in DS patients met with us. Everyone seems really impressed with her health and progress up to this point. We plan to visit the clinic every 6 months so they can see how she is progressing.

After we were done at the clinic, we met my parents and the kids at the zoo (across the street from the hospital). It was a hot day, but everyone had fun. We had a good time seeing all of the animals. Emmy slept through most of it, but Jacob and Ellie loved running from one site to the next. By the end of the day, everyone was worn out and Ellie screamed 1/4 of the way home because she wanted out of her car seat. We all took baths and went to bed early for some much needed rest (okay...I stayed up to watch the last episode of Gilmore Girls, but I went to bed after that!).
