This blog is about our life. I also want to raise awareness about achondroplasia and share our experience. Our baby girl Anaïs was born with achondroplasia.

A princess needs her beauty sleep!
This afternoon Sam wanted to play with her princess castles and wanted to get Anaïs involved in the process. I think Anaïs enjoyed chewing on a couple toys for a while...
But it looks like she lost interest. In the middle of it all she started snoring! LOL!!!
Too cute! It's so adorable to catch them sleeping in the middle of an otherwise normal activity... But then I still like to sneak in and just watch Caits sleeping in her crib sometimes! Love it...
Very adorable! Tell Sam not to worry, Anais will be playing (aka destroying) her princess castles very soon! Did Prince Daddy come wake up Sleeping Beauty with a kiss?
That is so precious! Sam is a bundle of energy. Anais is going to have to learn early to keep up with her big sister! I think Anais will be the coffee drinker. I think there is nothing sweeter than that picture of her sleeping like a little angel. Just adorable.
Alex! So precious that Sam included Anais in her princess play. Hopefully the girls will always get along SO well :) Adorable pictures of the princess sleeping! Trisha
I am originally from France and have been living in the US since 1999. My husband Jeff is american and speaks fluent french so we are a bilingual family. We have 2 beautiful daughters Samantha born on 5/27/04 and Anaïs (pronounced Ana-eese) born on 6/6/08. Anaïs was born with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism.
If this is your first time reading our blog, read about how our journey with achondroplasia all started by reading Anaïs' story.
What is achondroplasia?
Achondroplasia is the most common form of short-limb dwarfism. It occurs in approximately 1 in 26,000 to 1 in 40,000 births. The characteristic features of achondroplasia are apparent at birth. These include typical facial features, disproportionate short stature, and rhizomelic (the proximal ends of the limbs) shortening. Diagnosis of achondroplasia is made by physical exam and skeletal x-rays. Most individuals have normal intelligence. Infants and children often have motor delays but cognitive delays are not present. A special infant developmental chart has been made for children with achondroplasia. Final adult height is in the range of 4 feet.

That is too cute! Having such a fun, high-energy big sis like Sam must wear Anais right out! Love Sam's bedding, so pretty.
Awwww! That is way too cute! I love when they just pass out in the middle of playing!
