Joey at 4 months.
This is the story of our son, written by his father, who was diagnosed with a trisomy 17 disorder at the age of 4 months, on January 9th 2012. At the time that he was diagnosed there was very little information online, and only a few first hand accounts of how this disease had affected a child, so I wanted to share our experience so that it might help other parents that find their children in a similar situation.

Milestones
Joey just reached a new milestone. We have him in his pack-n-play in the living room, and he just rolled over from his back to his stomach for the first time, at 4 months and 1 week. After he rolled over he was near the edge so we moved him more towards the center and then he rolled from his stomach to his back, something he did at around 1 month, but hasn't done in much since really. According to the milestones chart at Babycenter.com rolling in both directions is an emerging skill for 5 months, so he's ahead there, and passing objects from hand to hand is an emerging skill for 6 months, and he's been doing that for at least a month already, so he's like 2 months ahead on that one. According to the chart, turning towards sounds and voices is mastered skill for 6 months, and he's been doing that solidly since 3 months.
