Faces of Ds (part 1)

I'll never forget hearing the neonatologist saying "Down syndrome" and the image that came to mind.  In my head, I had a preconceived notion of what Down syndrome "looked" like.  Ironically, it looks absolutely positively nothing like I had imagined.

I could look at the dimples in Hailey's mischievous grin all day.  The sparkle in those almond eyes makes me smile.  That button nose is the perfect spot to plant a kiss.  These are the only things that keep her from being grounded until she's 35 on most days!

This post makes me happy because the beauty takes my breathe away.
