On November 18 2009 at 4:02 am William Alan Bartosch was joyfully welcomed into our family. He weighed in at 7 lbs 9 oz and 20 in long. We were stunned to discover that he was born with Trisomy 21, or Down syndrome. We love him unconditionally from the top of his toe-head to the tips of his toes. We know that this diagnosis will not define him. He is a happy, healthy little boy that just happens to have an extra chromosome.



Follow us on this unexpected and exciting journey as we learn how to live life Will's Way.

Getting Closer...

By getting closer, I don't mean Will is getting closer to walking...he is walking very well...I mean that I am getting closer to getting Will's walking skills on camera!  He has been toddling back and forth from the chair to my outstretched arms for awhile now but I can't get it on camera:(  Everytime we are practicing our walking and I get out the camera, he suddenly loses interest in walking and wants to play with the camera...he is crawling towards it at the end of the video!  Will has been 'almost' walking for about 4 months and everyday he gains a little more balance and confidence and each week he takes another step.  He can pretty much toddle across the rug in our living room which is about 8 steps...give or take:)  Now if I can just get it on camera!
