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.

playtime!
Today Jeff had school so I took the girls to a local indoor playground. We spent a couple hours there and I think it's pretty safe to say that they had fun. :)
Miss Anaïs taking a break to eat a snack:
Today was another typical beautiful sunny day here in Park City, here is a picture I took while driving home:
That playground looks AMAZING! My girls would have loved it too! Park City is beautiful. I have been to SLC a few times but it's been many many years. I'd love to come back someday.
What a cool indoor playground! And I still think every picture you take is breathtaking of your area! It is so cute that the girls have a great relationship. You can tell Sam is so protective of Anais. It's adorable. Great pictures 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.
