This adorable footage shows a precious moment between a one-year-old boy with Down Syndrome when he met his one week old baby sister in their home. When the mother carried his little sister away, he started crying uncontrollably!
Ashlyn Williams, 33 living in Richland Township, Arkansas is a mother of seven that welcomed her youngest baby girl Collyns to their home, but had concerns that one-year-old Brooks might be jealous of the new addition to their family.
She was pleasantly surprised when she handed the week-old fans to her husband Logan, 33, who was holding Brooks on his other arm when Brooks’ face immediately lit up and he couldn’t stop smiling while staring at his baby sister.
This heartwarming video shows Brooks in absolute contentment, giggling in excitement as he just watches his sister. However, when Ashlyn gets the infant back, Brooks starts crying immediately before you hear his mother asking: “You want her back? Okay, okay, okay, okay.”
Once his sister is back in his father’s arms, Brooks genuine smile returns as he puts his head on his fathers chest and stares lovingly into his baby sisters face.
“I can just tell they are going to be best friends. We weren’t sure how Brooks would react to having a baby around and whether he’d get jealous of having to share attention,” said Ashlyn.
“But it was really sweet, he already loves her so much. He is such a loving young boy and we were just so tickled by his reaction. When he first met her in the hospital, he reacted exactly the same way so we just had to capture it on video,” she added.
This video has been shared more than 3,000 in different social media websites with people commenting on how sweet Brooks’ reaction was when he met Collyns.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, around one in 700 infants are born with Down Syndrome, which happens when the baby is born with an extra chromosome 21. In the U.S. alone, there are about 6,000 babies more with this chromosomal condition yearly.
