Brooke Greenberg - age 16 1/2 yrs old on Fox And Friends in Aug 2009

Brooke Greenberg (born January 8, 1993 in Baltimore, Maryland) is a 19 year old who has stayed the size of a 1 year old all her life till the present date (January 2012). Not only has she stayed physically the size of a toddler, but she also has stayed mentally like a toddler. Of course, it's not known what she might be thinking inside. She lives in Reisterstown, Maryland, which is a suburb of Baltimore (about 10 miles north of downtown Baltimore). She lives with her parents and 3 sisters that love her very much and adore her. Brooke is 30 inches tall (2 feet 6 inches), weighs 17 lbs. and is the size of a 1 year old. She has also started to learn how to walk, and if she grows a little more, she may be soon be able to walk for herself and be more independent. In this video, Brooke Greenberg was a guest on "Fox and Friends" which is a program on Fox News. This was taped in early August 2009, and at that point, chronologically, Brooke was 16 1/2 years old. She loves music, and loves to shop (who doesn't??), and car rides, and she also loves to sit in her baby swings and rock back and forth. Her dad gets her the best baby swings and toddler swings, as you can clearly see. I get a little dizzy actually watching her swing back and forth in this video (and by the way, there is no battery in the swing, her dad said on the show, so she actually uses movement to propel it back and forth). It is a little dizzying to me to watch her as she swings back and forth, BUT it's sort of funny because if I AM the one sitting in a swing going back and forth it doesn't make me dizzy at all, and I have gone on rides at Disneyland/ Disney World such as the Mad Hatter's Tea Party (aka The Mad Hatter Tea Cups) and I NEVER get dizzy, in fact, I want to spin it faster, although unfortunately Disneyland has set a limit to how fast you can spin the tea cups. Anyway, back to Brooke, I thought that this was a cute video and it shows her clearly having fun despite her limitations and handicaps. I know firsthand what it feels like to be like a child, because I have Autism and I sometimes will act like a 4 1/2-5 year old at times without even noticing that I am acting like one!! Brooke is just a precious, sweet, kind and compassionate teen who is the size of a toddler, and it shows very clearly what kind of person she is. She also may be the fountain of youth, as scientists might discover why she is that way, and so through her, we might be able to stop our aging processes. This is not to say we won't die, but we might just look like a 25 year old when we are, say, chronologically 60 years old or 80 years old. And who wouldn't want that? I believe in this video, little Brooke and her parents were on the show because they were informing the news media that TLC (The Learning Channel) was doing a special 1 hour documentary on Brooke. The documentary was shown on TLC in August 2009, and I do have it on videotape, but it might take a while before I am able to put it (in seperate installments) onto YouTube, because there is no way for me to move a VHS tape to DVD right now, so I may have to ask a friend to do it for me. Definitely worth watching, in the very least ---- "Codi" Preston (October 24, 2010)
