Hello, My Name is Mariana

Things the professionals said:

I will be slow

• to hold my head up
• to roll from front to back
• to roll from back to front
• to respond, smile, laugh, be vocal

I probably won't

• breastfeed
• be healthy
• cry for food

What I have done

• rolled over at two weeks
• rolled back to front at 3 months
• hold my head up
• smiled, laughed and coo
• breastfed at 4 days
• maintained good health
• cry for food (in fact, perhaps my stenographer can take a break and FEED ME!)

I'm adorable, I play hard and I travel well. I am 3.5 months old and I have an extra chromosome. So what?
