Welcome Luke to our DSL Family! 💙✨
Meet the incredible Mighty Luke, born on January 16th, 2025, right at home! 🏡 After spending some time in the NICU, he officially made his grand return home on March 7th. 🎉
Luke is already a pro at tummy time, snuggles, and rocking his pacifier like a champ! 😍 He’s looking to connect with other amazing babies with Down syndrome—bonus points if you're in Leitchfield, Breckenridge County, or part of the G-tube crew!
Drop a comment and say hi to Luke and his family! 💙
