Cramming, Cooking, and Car Seats: A Day In the Life of "Rosie's Mom"
http://theswanbergfamily.blogspot.com/2015/04/a-day-in-life-of-rosies-mom.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. A Day In the Life of "Rosie's Mom". These conversations leave us feeling frustrated and misunderstood. Luckily, these conversations are few and far between. Our main goal is for people to see that Rosie is much more alike than she is different from her peers. In an attempt to drill the point home, we thought it would be fun to give you a sample of what a day in the life of Rosie's mom looks like. I think that we lead a delightfully ordinary life. You be the judge. 9:45 AM: We lea...

Cramming, Cooking, and Car Seats: "Daddy-Daughter Day" was missing something...
http://theswanbergfamily.blogspot.com/2013/08/daddy-daughter-day-was-missing-something.html
Saturday, August 17, 2013. Daddy-Daughter Day" was missing something. Before you begin reading this post and wondering, "Why has Melissa's writing lost its lovely flow and eloquence? You should know that Melissa isn't writing this post at all. No, Melissa is preoccupied gallivanting around the Old Port of Portland with a bachelorette and her posse (likely making questionable decisions). So instead, you are all stuck with me, Caleb. My apologies. Thanks for everything, baby! Maine Down Syndrome Network.

Cramming, Cooking, and Car Seats: Live in the Moment
http://theswanbergfamily.blogspot.com/2013/11/live-in-present.html
Monday, November 11, 2013. Live in the Moment. Since it takes Rosalie longer to reach her developmental milestones, it is easy to forget that time is passing by. and quickly. Each day, I enjoy her cuddles, her smiles, and her little chuckles. I love having her with me always. I am so. Lucky to be her mommy. No Raking small objects? No Sitting on her own? Only from back to belly. Each "no" got harder and harder to admit to. Now that I'm back to my normal self, that all sounds horrible! I am positively bur...

Cramming, Cooking, and Car Seats: Sipping from a Straw!
http://theswanbergfamily.blogspot.com/2014/06/sipping-from-straw.html
Sunday, June 8, 2014. Sipping from a Straw! We have this great cup called a Bear Bottle from ARK. Basically, there is a valve at the bottom of the straw that prevents the fluids in the straw from dropping back into the cup after every sip. This makes it so Rosie has to do less work while learning how to sip. Another neat feature is that you can squeeze the bottle and fluid will be pushed out of the straw (kind of like what happens if you squeeze a juice box)! A similar cup is made by Talk Tools. For ...
