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.

What Will's Up To

Sorry I had to take a little break after all that daily blogging!  We have been enjoying the last of the nice weather and getting ready for Will's big birthday!  Will has been doing great with walking and is choosing walking over crawling now!  He is getting very steady and walks most everywhere at home.  He even went up and down a couple steps at school using a teacher's hand!  He also thinks he can do this at home even though our steps are a lot different:)  He is doing very well at school and all of his therapies.

At the neighborhood park.




Picking out toys from the catalog for Santa's list with Ava and Jonas:)  He pointed at everything!


Opening an early birthday/Christmas gift from his Aunt Cindy.  He loves his new racetrack!


Hanging with Grandpa Ron!


Working hard at using my utensils.  I am getting so good I have been eating cheerios in milk!




...but sometimes this is still easier!
