We celebrated gigisplayhousedetroit’s first birthday today! It feels like fate that a Gigi’s opened so close to home so close to when George was born on the other side of the country. We have made so many friends and cultivated meaningful relationships within the Down syndrome community because of this incredible place. George has been coming to Gigi’s since he was five months old, and we are so grateful he gets to grow up at Gigi’s. Happy birthday! 🎉🎈🎁 #downsyndrome #downsyndromerocks #downsyndromeawareness #downsyndromeadoption #ds #baby #babieswithdownsyndrome #instababies #motherhood #motherhoodoninstagram #adoptionrocks #adoption #t21 #trisomy21 #dslove #theluckyfew #homiewithanextrachromie #downsyndromeisbeautiful #thisisdownsyndrome #shouttheirworth #lifewithdownsyndrome #nothingdownaboutit #lifeisbetterwithyou #downrightawesome #wouldntchangeathing #gigisplayhouse #gigisplayhousedetroit

Did you see that? 👀
To you it may have seemed like such a simple movement. No big deal, the baby learned to stand up, but it is SO much more! This video showcases #purposefulprogression of movements we incorporate into our #GiGiFIT programs! .
.
It takes a lot to learn to tall kneel and then pull to stand and we are so proud of Jay! .

We celebrate #bestofall at GiGi's Playhouse and today we 👏 for you little man!

What a great event today!! I ran with team #BlayneTaylor , placed second, and our team raised $5,000 for gigis_playhouse_hoffman - I couldn’t be more thankful for the amazing people, patients, and everyone who donated to help out this organization.
You all are the real MVPs. Please take a minute to follow them on social media and if you have a few extra hours, consider volunteering 🤷🏽♀️ I love you all! ❤️Dr. Jess
Hey GiGi.... Of course the dancing queen was ready for your #GenGdanceoff challenge! CoCo is joining everyone over gigisplayhouse to make sure that all people with Down syndrome are accepted and loved and celebrated all over the world! Who’s ready for the challenge??! Since CoCo learned most of her moves from Mr Bryan himself, it’s only fitting that she nominate linabryan3 and Luke to take on the challenge! Luke & Caroline you ready? 😉 #gigisplayhouse #strongertogether #GenerationG

Happy Halloween from our li’l monkey & banana!

This past weekend was Lana & Fi’s first experience to go to a Trunk or Treat at the Playhouse. It was also my first time doing it (swipe on to slide 2 👉🏼) so needless to say, there were many rookie mistakes 😅 But seriously… nobody could’ve planned for ‘hurricane forced winds!!’ HUGE shout out to the guy on the 2nd slide… thank you, Uncle Steve, for stepping up last minute to help me wrap the back of my van ‘in green tissue paper’ 😂 It really was plastic tablecloth but the way it was ripping as strong winds swept across the parking lot, you’d think it was paper! Mr. Frogger was a hot mess express but, oh well... at least it spit out the GOOD candy! (Thanks to Steve... again! We love you!!)
.
Last slide but certainly not the least, "The Fab Five" namely Monroe, Lana, Anna, Ava & Maleah along with Kasen dressed as “Five Little Monkeys + Doctor. 🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵 AREN'T THEY THE CUTEST OR WHAT?! 👨🏻⚕️ So glad no one fell off and bumped her head while these were taken!
