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.

Cute girl.
Today Anaïs looked so cute in her outfit! Her and I had fun taking pictures.
This is what she did when I said "smile for the picture"... lol
It's amazing how much joy that little girl brings to my life!
I absolutely love her outfit!!! Love it a lot. And Sam is rubbing off on her because Anais is learning how to work a camera. She is such a cute little sweetheart!
She is so gorgeous Alex! I am loving her sweater dress! I'm always on the look out for more mature clothes for Sonya and a pretty sweater dress is on my list! I love how she is totally modeling for the camera! Such a cutie!
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.
