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.

Clothes are overrated!
This morning the girls were hanging out on the couch and I couldn't resist...I had to take pictures!! Anaïs was in her diaper and Sam in her underwear...this is how it is at our house 95% of the time. LOL
Super cute! I am right there with you...the first thing the kids want to do when they walk in the door is tear off all their clothes! I always joke about how I can't share 90% of our videos on the internet, because they are always doing the funny stuff in their underwear!
Oh that's super cute! this is best you can do for your kids, let them be as the mother nature created them! And the result - absolute bliss and happiness :-) Girls look so happy! And considering the heat that's best anyway!
That is so cute! Preston won't even take off his shoes until he goes to bed! He is the complete opposite. I love the pictures. Anais looks so darn happy in her diaper. What smiles on both of them!
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.
