If it were up to me, our little Eliza would be the poster child for World Down Syndrome Day. Lizzie is making such great strides as she grows. And we are so blessed to have therapies and information to give Lizzie the best care possible. We are fond of saying something like this at our house: "Lizzie is perfect. We know exactly where she is going. We hope when we all die and meet Christ, she will be there telling Him to let us in, too"

I love that picture, Nanette. Eliza is so pretty and so are you! I just see love written big all over.
What a cutie. Your very lucky.
What a wonderful picture of the two of you together! Nothing better than grandma loves.
She is beautiful and so loved!
I love that picture.....you are a very lucky family all the way around!
You are so blessed! We were blessed with my brother for 37 years. He passed away on Monday. For her sake and yours, don't let her get too spoilt. Encourage her to do all that she can on her own and help her with what she can't do yet. They are capable of so much and they are really very smart in many, many ways. Enjoy her every day.
What a wonderful picture. It makes me happy just looking at it.
I heard this on the radio the other day, it's about 3 minutes long, you may enjoy it

she is an angel, and, in the long run, the lucky one.
she gets to skip so much of the evil, yucky stuff of this life.
bless the hearts of all who love and care for little eliza.
you are all earning your crowns in heaven!
Such a wonderful photo of love!!
Glad she is thriving and surely she is getting plenty of stimulation and attention in your busy and loving household. Adorable photo!
What a gorgeous and much loved girl...what a light she brings to your lives!
She is such a cutie pie and would be a perfect cover girl!
Lizzie is a cutie. I know you and your daughter are so happy with her progress. Shows what love will do for a child. Savannah from the Today show also mentioned this special day during the show.
Beautiful..your picture just radiates love :)
Beautiful picture, Nanette. Eliza aka Lizzie is definitely perfect. She's a little doll.
Nanette, Lizzie is just so ADORABLE! She would certainly get my vote! The photograph is a wonderful keepsake to cherish.
Thank you for sharing with us!
precious picture.
beautiful, nanette! thank you for sharing this precious memory with us.
She is one of God's angels sent to remind us that He does not make mistakes and His reasons we may not comprehend, but our faith and trust in Him is forever.
Blessing to you always
Nanette, that picture made me smile. It so, so sweet, maybe it is one to enlarge and frame? Your face is radiating happiness. I just love her chubby little cheeks too, good thing I can't reach her :) xx debbie
There is nothing more perfect in the world than a child who is loved and cherished and a grandmother who dotes on her.
You've succeeded in wrenching my heart strings, Nanette. But you knew that, didn't you.
Bless all your hearts...especially Lizzie's.
Lizzie is adorable! Beautiful photo of you and your cutie pie :)
Aren't all of gods children sweet and wonderful.
You have a lovely little girl.
My daughter's kindergarten teacher used to use this kind of odd but endearing phrase - "She's so sweet I could just squeeze the pudding out of her" - and that's what I thought when I saw the two of you. Adorable.
Such a sweet little cutie!
Lizzie is just adorable and blessed to be so very loved by her 'nanny'. :)

Thank you for sharing this. I no longer have a blog (I used to be SparkleJars) but I occasionally keep up with blogs I loved (like yours). I've been caring for a daughter with special needs. Anyway, your post was very special today. Thank you for sharing, Gayle
You are an awesome Nanny. :-)
