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.

New slippers.
On Friday, Sam has to wear a pair a slippers at school. She usually doesn't wear slippers at home so I bought her a pair at Target today. She was SO excited when I gave them to her after school!
Those are the coolest slippers ever. What a fun and awesome idea for school. Preston always has to have something on his feet so he wears crocs and in the winter crocs slippers. I also got him a pair of football slippers. He loves those too! As for Anais-because I am so far behind on blogging, I hope the sleep study went very well. Ugh on them-what an awful night's sleep! (Well for us-the kids seem to sleep). I love the pics of her in her high chair. Only an achon can enjoy eating dinner in those positions!
Very cute! I have wanted a pair of slippers like those for a while now! Now I know where to get a pair! That's a great idea for some fun at school! My girls have had pajama days! So fun!
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.
