Did you guess our ages correctly?

If you did the math, I was 32 when I had Millie (well almost 32, just a couple months before my 32nd birthday). It's true that the chances of having a baby with Down Syndrome increase as you get older, but did you k...

But wait, she's so good at that 🤣

[Nikki Geib (@makingmilliestones) @makingmillies]

I shared on my stories that Millie choked earlier this week on a sausage patty (she's ok). I was asked to share it here on my feed as well so it can be shared to spread awareness. I saved the stories as a highlight if you want to see more.

[Nikki Geib (@makingmilliestones) @makingmillies]

Her story is not defined by a diagnosis.
It's defined by the life she's living ❤️

I want Millie to wake up every morning surrounded by reminders of how deeply loved she is and all she is capable of. made it so easy to turn her favorite moments with...

Down Syndrome is scary. This video proves it. 🦁

I actually was scared of Down Syndrome when I got her diagnosis. If anyone you know is scared of Down Syndorme, you should just show them this. I wish I was able to see it 5 years ago ❤️

One first "Day in the Life"!!
That mudroom gets frequented quite a bit around here 😆Lots of coming and going during our weekdays. But the biggest thing I notice when I watch our day back, is how normal it all feels (at least to me). Of course, some ...

February in Wisconsin❤️

If you know, you know. February in Wisconsin is wild. One day it's below zero and we're layered up in all of our winter gear… the next we're peeling off the big coats and eating popsicles in the sunshine.

Mornings with Millie ✨

I wanted to share this because it wasn't AT ALL what I imagined caring for a 5yr old with Down Syndrome would like. If I'm honest, I couldn't have pictured this even a year ago. Because a year ago we were still tossing food ...

[Nikki Geib (@makingmilliestones) @makingmillies]

You might think she's on the sidelines… but she's right in the game!

Little Tikes toys give Millie the confidence to try, build her independence, and help her feel included! All while keeping her physically active and sparking the creative imaginati...

The thank you at the end 🥰

Millie has to go through some uncomfortable blood draws every so often. Yes, there are a few tears, but she always keeps a brave face 💪🏼

[Nikki Geib (@makingmilliestones) @makingmillies]

And the music matches perfectly! 😆

[Nikki Geib (@makingmilliestones) @makingmillies]

Play is so much more than just play.

What looks like simple moments… swinging, climbing, sliding, throwing, pretending… is actually building strength, coordination, communication, and connection in ways you can't always see.

Grateful for this amazi...

The end 😆 you're getting another mirror dance.
Enjoy ❤️
