Is it possible for a baby who has absolutely no physical characteristics of Down's Syndrom to have it?! She is almost 10 weeks old, in the 50-75th percentile in all growth catagories, extremely alert, and very social. Her pediatritian is constantly telling us how she is amazed by my daughters strength, alertness, and progress. She holds her head up rather steady when placed on her belly, she lifts her bottom half of her body, and she has began to start to roll over from front to back (she would get it too if she could figure out how to place her arm). The reason I ask is because her grandfather is convinced that she needs to be tested because she usually sticks her tounge out all the time. If it were an issue wouldn't you think that her pediatrician would have noticed it by now... seeing as my daughter has seen her doctor more than she has seen her grandfather?!
