I just love sitting in the grass-and I tried eating it too-yuck! In this picture I was just about ready to turn 2!

I love my daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one makes me smile like my daddy. He treats me like a little princess. If I am sad, he gives me great big daddy hugs. When he comes home from work I scream and run to him. If he does not pick me up I cry. I just absolutely love him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vacation Time!
Here I am with my other brother Tommy in Ocean City, New Jersey. We went there on vacation last summer. I just love rides! And I adore both my brothers. They watch over me and make sure I am safe. They play with me and Tommy makes me laugh when he chases me around. I am walking now and started right around when this picture was taken in August 2005. Now I can really get into stuff!
Happy Birthday To Me!!!
Here I am in my pretty party dress when I was one years old! My mommy and daddy threw me a big party with all of our family and friends. I was not crawling yet but I sure was trying. Still no talking but alot of baby babbling. About one week after my first birthday I began to crawl!! Hooray for me!!!!!!!! The next step was walking.

Here I am when I was just 3 months old! You can't tell in this picture but I was such a grumpy baby and my mommy says I only slept for two hours at a time until I was about 9 months old. But mommy and daddy were patient and took turns rocking and feeding me. No one new I had WS when I was this young. In fact, my mommy and daddy never heard of WS. Not too many people do. I probably was so irritable because of pains I was having due to too much calcium in my little body. That's what the specialists at the Williams Syndrome Clinic told my parents. I am such a good sleeper now and never wake up on my own. When mom comes in to wake me up I always say, "sleep".

I also have a few heart problems.To find out more about Williams Syndrome go to www.wsf.org or www.williams-syndrome.org.

Robin is my Special Instructor,Miss Melissa is my Occupational Therapist, Miss Donna is my Physical Therapist and Miss Joan is my Speech Therapist. Right now I am walking and learning to go up and down steps. I am talking using both sign language and one to two word sentences. But the thing I do best is make people smile. I am such a happy kid.
