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.

Hot Dog!
Will can say 'Dada' and 'Mama'. He says 'no', 'more' and 'all done'. You wouldn't know them if you heard them but Ron and I do. Especially when he pairs it with the sign. But Will's first, official, intelligible word is 'hot dog'. I am thrilled but can not believe this is his first real word! Since Ron and I are moderate vegetarians (meaning we don't eat a lot of meat) this is ironic and also a little sad. I swore my kid was not going to eat hot dogs and chicken nuggets everyday, but since he really only eats those, veggie burgers and nutella sandwiches, I guess I shouldn't be surprised!
