Liam was a bright faced, rosy child who was learning how to climb on everything. He adored his Mommy and Daddy, his grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins Hunter and Katelyn. You can learn more about the syndrome he was born with, Angelman's syndrome, by visiting the Angelman's Foundation at www.angelman.org and also visiting www.cureangleman.org ---recently making press on the Letterman show by actor Colin Farrell.

Liam charmed his cousin Elly and she loves him back.


What is Angelman's syndrome?
Individuals with Angelman Syndrome tend to have a happy demeanor, characterized by frequent laughing, smiling and excitability. Many individuals with Angelman Syndrome are attracted to water and take great pleasure in activities like swimming and bathing.
