Her's specifically is a micro deletion on the 22nd chromosome, q arm. Called 22q deletion syndrome. There are a variety of ways it can manifest, but the big red flags were a heart defect and missing thymus.Miss Sparkly|1325558091|3093805 said:charbie|1325219018|3091244 said:My little miracle.

What a cutie! What is genetic deletion?
eta: I realize that it is likely the literal deletion of a chromosome, just wondering if that is a general term or specific.

The first one was taken when she was six weeks old in Colombia; she was born with a head full of straight, spiky, dark hair. The second was taken when she was about a year old (if I remember correctly) here in the United States. She was playing with health food store Cheerios (called Oatios, I think) at the photograher's studio!

I have to say that the photograph of charbie's daughter is simply award winning, however! We all have babies that are just as beautiful and are begging to be held and cuddled in the snapshots we took of them, but the professional photographer charbie used knew at just what second to take the photograph which seemed to capture her angelic soul. I only wish each of us could have a professional portrait that great to post!

So cute!!![]()
I hate to be partial as well - all the babies here are adorable.But Tgal - it's so great to see a new pic of Amelia! It's amazing to see the difference between her baby pic and her 4 year old pic. What a grown-up young lady! She looks really confident and happy.

Ill post another favorite once I get them...its another one that will just knock you over. She may be little, but this little girl has taught me more about life than I ever imagined possible. She's fierce.
Pupp- I just love N and his cheeks. I want to squish them everytime I see his pic.
And T-Gal, Amelia is such a gorgeous girl. I know how proud she must make you![]()

Frighteningly cute...but are you sure you didn't post a picture of one of them twice? I would absolutely swear that that is the same baby in both photos!!!

No!!! Baby number two has different lips! I could tell them apart even if they had been born at the same time! What a relief!!! You had me scared for a second there, qtiekiki! I thought I was going crazy with baby fever!

Lottie-
I just want to hold your babies! They look so deliciously cuddly. Sleepy babies in blankets are absolutely irresistible! And yours are truly beautiful babies!
