Maeve. Full Trisomy 18, Thriving Thursday Child

Maeve (Full) 15 Months Old

ByKelly Peterson

“Maeve recently celebrated her 1st birthday—a milestone that fills us with immense pride and joy! Now approaching 15 months, she loves waving ‘Hi’ to everyone she sees, especially when they wave back. She’s getting stronger each day, sitting up independently for longer periods, and mastering her head control (as long as she’s not too sleepy, of course!). Maeve is truly the happiest, silliest, and most expressive little girl, and I’m endlessly grateful to call her my daughter.”
