Doctors often look for simian creases in the hands of newborn babies that they suspect to have Down syndrome. It's a single line across the palm instead of two. Not all children with Downs have them and not always in both palms. We've seen these variations in our own children. I don't think it means anything (other than not all kids with a certain syndrome have all of the symptoms), it's just interesting. See the photos below. Oh, and Ella had marker on her hand again, wouldn't all wash off; she's an artist. ;o)
"Mama's got that camera out again!"
"So... what about my hands?"
"They work great on Lucy's hair!"
"Did you get that one?" ;o)

That's so interesting! I never knew that. Thanks for sharing. I loved the kids reactions to looking at their hands. Too cute.
I love looking at pictures of your girls - hoping that my girls will be able to play and do things together soon.
