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.

Anaïs' first haircut.
Today I finally took Anaïs to get a haircut. Her hair has been out of control for quite some time. She did really good. Here she is waiting for her turn, she loved that train table. She got to sit in a little train while watching Baby Einstein.
All done!
Then we had to take Sam to her ice skating lesson. After that, the three of us ate dinner at a little neighborhood restaurant...I was feeling too lazy to make dinner. ;)
I LOVE her cheesy little smile in that last picture. She is adorable. I love the pictures! She did awesome for her first haircut. Watch how fast her hair starts growing now. I bring Preston every five to six weeks now for a haircut.
Yay Anais!! So happy her first haircut went so well! She looks beautiful, as always! The pictures of her and Sam, especially the last one, are so adorable!
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.
