This blog was established in 2010 to honor our daughter Lyla who was born with Achondroplasia (the most common form of dwarfism). To learn more about Achondroplasia please visit....
We had Lyla's doctor appointments in February. She visited Dr. Bober (geneticist), Dr. Mackenzie (orthopedic surgeon) and Dr. Schmidt (ENT). All three doctors said that Lyla looked great and was doing well. We were thrilled to hear the news.
Lyla's Stats:
Height: 2 feet 6 inches (just under the mean)
Weight: 25 lbs. (just below the mean)
Head Circumference: 21 1/2 inches (at the mean)
Here are pics from our visit to Dupont Children's Hospital in Delaware:

After Dupont we took a weekend trip to NYC. We spent the weekend at the Trump International Hotel near Central Park. We got our usual corner suite and we did all the tourist things that the girls love to do when we visit NYC. Here are pics from that mini vacation.
