LAMBERTS!
MEET THE
By Andrea Hurr
A wonderful family and a beautiful little boy named Liam
In a beautiful neighborhood in Uniontown, you will find the Lambert family. Their family is made up of Dahllas and Kris, along with their four beautiful children. On June 20, 2020, they welcomed their 3rd child, Liam, into the world. Liam was not diagnosed with Down syndrome until birth, meaning their family was not aware of the journey their lives were about to take. When they first learned of Liam’s diagnosis, they were emotional. Neither Dahllas nor Kris were knowledgeable about Down syndrome outside of a little information about the health issues children with the diagnosis can oftentimes have. The Lamberts were relieved when they were told that Liam did not have any heart conditions and was very healthy overall. Since Liam’s birth, they have been diving deep into research on Down syndrome and, even now, are still learning more every day. As Liam has grown over the past two years, he has become such a funny, loving, rotten, and amazing little guy. Currently, he loves to spend time outside on his mat because he does not like the feel of grass. He loves being around people and being silly with them. The Lamberts were introduced to Gigi’s Playhouse Canton through their PT at Children’s Hospital. Recently Liam attended his first playgroup for little ones, and the family hopes to return soon! As Mom stated, “I loved that he could be around other kiddos his age.” Liam currently looks up to his daddy. He just lights up when he sees his dad
