"She's small but she's still a girl."
I love that her sisters treat her like a girl and not a baby. They are all so wonderful.

Sooooooo crazy
Are you being sarcastic
@@Jake-re6eb No there serious. Not all siblings fight you know
Yes
We stan a family that treats their disabled family member like a normal person (aside from the necessary health exceptions, of course)
Random Potato I work with special needs children and 90% of the time they’d rather be treated like a normal person. I will have conversations with them and they don’t say a thing but their reactions and facial expressions and eye contact is always enough of a response
Random Potato 😊😊😊😊
What is a "normal person"

Bless her heart, she’s trapped in a body where no one understands her. She deserves the amazing family she’s in I hope she lives the rest of her life with them 🥰☺️
She has no clue whats going on around her
@@fyou1000 you dont know that
It's said that she can't speak and behaves like a baby, so... She very likely has no intelligence to understand and mourn her circumstances.
@@Shiinehaybears she brain dead
@@fyou1000 Dose not mean she does not deserve Love and respect
I absolutely love that the whole family still treats her as a child not a baby, sadly most of disabled kids aren't treated after their age, more like a doll you know? But seeing them handling this so well restored my faith in humanity. Awesome family
Not even just kids, my uncle is disabled and is still treated like a two year old by some people. He hates it.
@@Kalani_Saiko That's just sad ☹️
that's true for disabled people overall regardless of age, after my dads car accident and he was in a wheelchair for a while, people automatically assumed he was mentally deficient and talk down to him like he's a child.
@@bloodlove93is it true I have cerebral palsy but I am perfectly normal it just difficult to walk around sometimes and that why I need a walker but my speaking voice is very good and not complicated to understand but sometimes it can be difficult to understand my words and what I’m saying and it just makes me feel sad sometimes
The dad is honestly amazing. Yes, her siblings and mother are also warm hearted but her dad is adorable. He really stood out to me. He just makes her feel like she’s any other girl. He paints her nails, holds her while cooking and basically does whatever makes her comfortable and happy. His so cute.
I agree its so cute
Yeah agree
Me too
So he's a regular dad and you wanna glorify it? Smh 🤦🏽♀️🤡🙄 Yall always wanna focus on the men
@@niamphdollieofficial yee
sometimes it looks like she is trying to smile. She is so adorable
I know but she is not a baby but ye she is adorable
Yeah
Yeah even though she’s short she’s still cute
She is the cutest girl I've ever seen
She's so ugly ewww
She’s literally the cutest thing I’ve ever seen 😭
I love that the older sister/sibling is so kind and helps her mom give gabby medicine whenever she needs it.
My neighbor had a son with this exact disability. Last time I heard he was now nearly 20 and still appears to be an infant
Glad he is alive ❤️
Wow, he could live forever.....
The macaw of humanity.....
That’s super weird! 😐😐😐
That’s super weird! 😐😐😐
1 more year for some 🍺
I love how they include gabby in everything they do some people would just put her in a room somewhere. What amazing family this is god bless them
You are right
Michele Lindsey x their mean to her
Michele Lindsey you are so right
She’s so pretty
God bless them and you
I love the fact that this family treats her like she’s an 8 year old instead of a baby.
Gabby is not alone. There are other people like her. Legally I'm a 50 year old man. But physically and mentally I'm 12 year old boy. I grow up 5 times slower than other people. My parents take care of me. Without them I'm helpless.
To everybody who say they were scared when Gaby’s mom was dressing her and bopping her head around: Gaby still has head support, she’s seen holding her own head up throughout the video. Secondly, that’s her mommy. She’s been with her since the day she was born. In addition to this, she has all of Gaby’s siblings. I’m pretty sure she knows how to dress the kid. Keep in mind, her mom has spent 8 years with Gaby. We spent only 7 minutes with her over the course of this video. Gaby looks so happy and taken care of. Please don’t be alarmed. These are some of the most delightful parents I have ever seen.
I couldn’t agree more!! All the kids look like they have amazing lives.
They always gotta find something someone do "wrong "🙄🙄🙄
Well said. Some people are idiots. Unfortunately, common sense isn't so common.
My parents just tossed me around like a ball when I was a baby
@@Eiko-fr8qh you must be 5 if you can remember when you were a baby
Can we just appreciate how amazing her dad is and she's different from some of us but she's still smart,beautiful,and a human that is just unique
Yea just take a moment

F= My respects💯
Gabby is lucky to have all that love. It makes me emotional.
Gabby She Looks Like A Doll Because Of Her Size😂😂🤣🤣.
Her family is so supportive of Gabby! They make her feel just as welcome and present like all the other eight-year-old girls. She also seems really bright and engaging trying to do her best with the support of her mum and dad trying to give her the same opportunities like the other girls her age. This really warms my heart and I hope that her condition improves in the future! All the best❤️
She's so cute. Her sisters are wonderful to her.
@Rainbow Muffin same
Yes
@Anna Zou aw 🥺
@Eadie Stewart aw I feel bad
@Eadie Stewart don't be sad I also have an elder brother who always annoys me but he always helps me when I am in need I am sure your siblings will too 🙂🤗
I love how the dad was holding and kissing her when he was cooking. So sweet :)
It's called being a regular dad, yes so shocking and unique 🙄
@@niamphdollieofficial they’re just saying that they thought that was sweet. Even for other kids, I would say that that is very sweet.
@@niamphdollieofficial rude : /
@@niamphdollieofficial not all dads are good, some are abusive
@@niamphdollieofficial That was rude
What if she's got the mind of an 11 year old but is trapped in her body... can't speak, see or communicate. That's terrifying
She is literally the most adorable person I've ever seen in my life. Chills went down my back.
I know she is "FREAKING ADORABLE "! Bless her heart
Ummm.... No.
She's beautiful!
@@joeburns4209wdym she’s so cute
I cannot be the only one that thinks she looks like a itty bitty Cindy Lou Who...what a cutie! God bless her x
She is ur not lying
God blessed her
I love how her mother says that she is still an 8 year old girl even though she is smaller she is still a girl I love that
Mrs Jojo siwa her sister said that not her mother
Life with Roselyn ! Actually it was the mother...
x Mia Playz Roblox x no sorry
Life with Roselyn ! Yes sorry
Finn Burdine huh?
poor baby.. i just always feel this deep sympathy for people who just never get to really live.. just so sad..
And for people who have lived so long under such troubling circumstances..
Gabbys mum is like an angel from heaven
Omg this is so sad yet cool the family isn't complaining neither is the siblings and they r even treating her like a 8 year old its amazing!
Edit : omg thanks for all the likes
🚨Eric Sanderson leave the child alone🚨
@@robloxgametopia9071 lmfao!
I would HOPE they wouldn't complain during these 7 minutes of heavily-edited footage.

Yeah
@@nepadron
Seriously 😂😑🙄😐
Oh my, my, my are these parents REALLY involved with their children's lives, Wow!!!.., You can FEEL the LOVE of these parents!.., God bless them so much!
Its not always great for parents to be involved. Mostly if the child is apart of the LGBT+ community and the parent it homophobic.
Yes✨💅🏼😸
@@graystripe393 your so negative I agree with Mia get help this is very serious what the parents are going through get a life
@@graystripe393 Just why
@@graystripe393 how is this relevant?
I have a sister who is 24 now and she is my oldest sister. She is like Gabby, although she has grown to about 5 feet. She cannot talk, feed herself, or walk and do that stuff.
The way he said. She's still there big sister with the biggest commercial smile on his face! 😃❤
I find it adorable how the father has so much time for his daughter even though he's cooking or something he still shows her so much attention and love same with her mother and siblings
it may seem that way since the camera man was there lol
I mean that’s how it should be
I love that the dad did her nails , so cute
Amanda Tong ikr
Yes
She is the best right
Right

I love how they treat her like a princess
Gabby is still very beautiful and sweet! Good thing she’s alive
The dad doing Gabby's nails is the cutest thing I've seen ❤️

The way her mum was holding her and putting her down gave me high anxiety
Same
Yea ikr
Hi
Be nice you guys
Same!
my little sister was born like that too, she barely grows but she should be treated with respect no matter how you are born and how you look like so you should be grateful that you atleast live, she is 9 years old now and is treated with full respect, that wonderful girl should also be treated with respect god bless you😊🙏
8 + 4 = 12 she is 12 now
Gabby is an absolute Angel. May God protect her from harm✝️❤️✝️❤️✝️.
Her dad painting her nails 😭❤️ What a sweet family!
Ikrr
Lol I subbed to you
What do u think? She could do it on her own!?
@@faith1135 I think they just think its sweet for them to include her.
@@faith1135 shut up she’s disabled shes small and beautiful everything and everybody needs help
Gabby is so adorable!!! But whenever her head is limp while her parents are carrying her, im like 'No! You have to support her head! I know you know how to carry baby's but she looks so fragile!'
Ikr!
I hate myself. There were 222 likes, and I couldn’t help but like, so now there are 223. #SoSorry
@@idris979 its fine! Honestly! I don't even know why your apologizing.
Ikr
What's a fragile?
The parents are so strong I'm glad it's two functioning parents with love and patience
did anybody noticed how joyful she looked when her mum brushed her hair
It gave me anxiety when her mom flung her around like that
Omg I thought it was just me. No judgement. It just looked harsher than it probably was.
Shirati i think it looks harsh cuz she looks like a young baby, but really she’s probably more robust than that.
And the car seat. The anxiety
And she doesn’t mind 😍
Yay that's what am thinking 😥🤨🤨🤨
Let’s hope she’s healthy during this time
She’s still with us
Anthony Williams good
Yes plz stay healthy gabby
@sara rubina me to
yeah
I love this family alot, they're engaging with their children and still treat gabby as if she's 8 and not a baby.
I love how everyone is so supportive
Honestly gabby is so cute
Bless Sophie, Gabby’s only older sister, but she still treats her like her age and plays with her like she should.
“She may be small, and she doesn’t grow very well, but she’s still a girl.”
- Sophie
She has two
She has 3 sisters Sophia, Alina, maya
I agree *Sophia* is a very good sister
*OML*
At first, well from the title I thought she was 40 but trapped inside a baby bodie
Ava McEeen yeah I was expecting that too. Not exactly disappointed but I really want to learn more about someone like that
This is part of a documentary called 40 year old child. It is an hour long documentary that includes the 40 year old which is a Male. This is just about Gabby. I have seen this on TLC
Same
Me too
Ava McEeen body*
Gabby is so pretty! Shes so unique and special
I’m proud of this family, even though gabby can’t speak for herself that doesn’t mean she doesn’t understand what’s going on. They treat her like the age she is. She’s a blessing.❤️👍👍👍
Did y’all also peep 👀 the baby casually crawling up the stairs 0:47.
I kept scrolling to see who else did lol
Lol

@@mascot-animates7583 me too

Gabby is so adorable but it gives me anxiety the way the mom handles her
Amazing videos
IKR
Ellie 996 same
The way she just lets her head dangle annoys me
yeah especially with her having skinny legs and arms.
What a wonderful family😊 This just warms me up inside as if a firework is bursting me. As her kind mother and sister explained "She's small but she's still a girl" .
She is not like other kids yet she is amazing. You don't have to be the same as everyone else to be special, she is both unique and beautiful.
such good parents. Especially in including her in normal things. Very good of them. My son is an only child, but that's because we are poor. But I always make sure he has xmas presents, does halloween and a cool costume, and he has a rad birthday party every year. This year we had his first piñata for his 7th. He's just not like a normal kiddo. He has kabuki syndrome. And he is in a funny phase of wanting to play with things that are not toys. His favorite thing right now is to take all the bottles out of the recycling bin and put them in different places, see what he can make them stand up on that is not exactly 'level'. He also LOVES to spin. He has low vision, and I think he likes doing it just because it's fun visually to get dizzy or something. He does it til he throws up sometimes though, lol. We think it's weird, but it's what he wants to do for fun!
It’s just so sad that she can’t talk and ask for what she wants
I know right, it’s so sad 😞
i knowwwww so sad
Yeah
yeah
She can’t play how she wants too I feel so bad I wish she wasn’t born that way I want her to have fun and live her life it’s sooooo sad
The title misleading, i thought she currently 40 y/o.
Himouto umaro!!!
@@jerelmao724 u notice me senpai uwu
It’s from a documentary that featured someone who was 40 y/o but was the size of a 2 y/o.
@@sarahwhitton2598 shut up mate leave him alone
oofトランスジェンダー少年 It says 8 year old and then 40 year old. Can you just...not be that kind of person?
I really pray she’s happy and that they talk TO her not around her! She can hear everything!
I love how you accept Gabby for who she is and that you don't just call her different. Gabby melts my heart ❤️ She’s The cutest thing Ever I wish I could hold her 🥰
Gabby looks so cute I love how they treat her like a 8 year old girl not a baby

She is adorable, I feel so bad for her. I hope she’s doing alright during this time 🥺
she is beautiful!
She is so cute and plus she has a really easy life but she is fragile and I do feel bad for her

Anyone noticed how soft and shiny her hair is? :3
She looks like a doll!
Yes I Agreed With You And Also That's Makes Me Laugh A Lot 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂!
Her parents are so loving and protective I wish everybody had parents like that
Yep
I have parents like that
@@feather_therian4981 ur lucky
YEAH
Yep
Little Gabby is a little Angel who is very much loved by every member of the family, Gabby's mother & father are terrific. For the fragile condition that Gabby's has, her parents are treating her as an eight year old so it's very hard for them when they have to dress her. You are marvellous parents to Gabby & the rest of your adorable children.
Veronica Wake these are the comments I like to se
Nick Etter yes indeed no one thinks positive in 2019
I do have a brother 27yrs old has this condition .. the good thing about him when he was 16yrs he started walking but no talking or feeding himself..
You make sure think of this beautiful little girl and what her family is going through every time you want to complain about something! Appreciate what you have because some people may not have the same opportunity to!
Gabby is soo cute god bless her with all the happiness in the world
Amen
This is a really good line all these prayers ore amazing
K
How nice of you God bless you for supporting her🙏
God bless her dear heart. She is absolutely beautiful in her own ways. 🙏
Every video on kids with disorders : *a 99.999999999% chance of dying*
Kid: **survives**
In reality she not dyng even but big precent
If they were dead they couldn't appear in the video that's why. Those people are lucky ones who survive the illness
It's so sad that she can't have fun like the others
I think that was so cute how her siblings were doing their nails with her, you don’t see kindness between siblings very much

Gabby is so luck to have such a caring family. So family’s would treat her like dirt but hers is amazing!

Yeah she's lucky my family treats me like dirt
I feel soooooo bad for this poor child, I hope she is healthy during this time
Ahh she really is a nice girl, I want to give her a hug , so sweet
Such a beautiful family, God bless you all. Gabby is gorgeous

U look like a care en
Here's a sub karen
The dad love his little girls he love his kids
It's so refreshing to see..
Yes yes
i love how her sister is proud to take her into her class and show her off to her friends
This family is really precious. They seem really close and I love how they do so many things together
I feel bad for her, never gets to have a normal life like everyone else. Doesn't get to enjoy herself, and can't have fun with other kids, she is blind too. Bless that little soul.
Is anyone going to talk about the dad he's the sweetest thing that's a dad right there..👏👏 not when he leaves with someone else and take care of some other kids that are not even his blood sorry guys i vented a little to much but others have been thru so much i life💔😪
I agree, him doing her nails melted my heart. And the Internet is here to let you vent :3. Take care.
Omg thank you so much for the likes guys that’s just the life i got to live but I’m happy only having a mother but at the same time a father at once 🥰🙏🏼
This entire family is awesome & amazing, but, Dad touched my heart in a big way. What a terrific girl Dad! 👏
she is one of the most adorable daughters i have ever seen in my life this girl may have a long life more than a average person
It seems like she was born into the perfect family. They love her so dearly, it's really beautiful.
I didn’t like how the mom would fling her around
Me neither
I was thinking the same thing. I mean I guess she knows,and the dr.s told her. But when my disabled daughter was born had I to learn. IT'S NOT THE SAME PROBLEMS but sort of the same thing. I guess. Maybe I am wrong.
Me neither
Me neither
When?
Poor little girl, I feel bad for her.
I love that they live life as normal as they can and include Gabby as much as they can.
You can see the joy and contentment in her tiny face when Mom combs her hair and dresses her. She is so blessed to have such genuinely loving mom and dad.
The way her mom handles her makes me nervous
*Cries in A S T H E T I C * you are so right I hate the mom it is just like she doesn’t care about gabby.
Ikr like when I first saw the mom pull up gabby I was like this woman is treating this girl very much like a doll and not like a good one more as if she was a rag doll and I don't think there realizing that but it's almost to the point of it being like there forcing her up and stuff and I'm like damn calm down.
And plus at 5:13 was Gabby even in that picture because I don't see her and a few moments before that the mom was saying how they try to include Gabby in every way yet they put the little baby brother in the picture and not Gabby. like what even???
Mhm I agree I’m sure that her mom cares but not enough. She is ignored by her mother or just outed out
S A D The way she like dresses her like super fast like rough makes me nervous too
This couple makes some BEAUTIFUL babies! I'm in awe of how cute all their kids are! Gabbie is so beautiful!
Some people are different and that is important. ❤️
Sophia seems like an amazing supportive older sister
NOW THATS A GOOD DAD
She has the face of an angel. God bless her.
Our neighbor's daughter has the same condition as her. I visit her sometimes as a child, i remember her although already a teen is still fed baby food. Though, as she grew old in her 20's just this year (2023), her condition got worse that she has to be fed through the nose (i forgot what its called) until one day, her mother wakes her up to eat realizing her body got stiff and cold and realizing her daughter will never wake up.
Is anyone gonna talk about how long and beautiful her eyelashes are!?!?!?!?! I’d kill for ones like that
mine are that long
Mine are longer and darker. People some times think that they are fake xD
Pshhh I I don't even have any
(Jk I obviously do or else I'll be blind)

The unconditional love of their family is wonderful to behold. God bless them 🙏🏻❤️🕊
Oh my gosh, those are such wonderful parents. What they go through is awful, but they handle it with joy and love! God bless them
When I saw the kids taking good care for her, I was really happy. It's so good that kids almost never get bullied anymore because they're different. It's beautiful too see, especially for her parents. We pray for you girl❤🌻
Neurax worm how? They are taking great care of her
Yess especially her oldest little sister, it's adorable
@Neurax worm you have issues bro.
@Neurax worm How would I know, I am not her. But I am ill and I go through some unbearable pain... Nonetheless, I am glad my parents didn't act like irresponsible kids and aborted me or something like this. So don't talk of something you don't understand, this girl doesn't need your pity and poor judgement, don't decide for her if she wants to live or not 😒😒😒😒😒😒 "because she's different she doesn't want to live, yeah, she absolutely hates living as something different, so let's kill her." What a shallow, idiotic way of thinking.
@Neurax worm I don't understand what you are saying here, English isn't my first language. Could you write it again in a cleater way please?
why are we all here at the same time
We are just in prayers for Gods grace for all
