This is especially true for Elijah, since at first we thought he might have Trisomy 13 or 18 rather than Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), so we could have been planning a funeral around this time rather than his first birthday. Needless to say, we are so glad to have him and treasure every day we have with him.
He had three birthday parties - one with family, then an open house for friends, and then another party at Gigi's Playhouse Too with other kids with Down syndrome with April birthdays. Here are some pics from his parties.

I happened upon your blog today doing my usual surf of all things T21/DS. Your family is beautiful and Happy Birthday Elijah!
If you have some time, please stop by my blog, dedicated to my youngest child who has Down syndrome.
Happy Birthday Elijah!!! We found your blog through Always Chaos's blog as she finds the most incredible links and information regarding T21.

I have twins - 18 months - one has T21. I know exactly what you mean about that first birthday being special. For my twins it was finally a time to celebrate and thank all the family and friends who had been so wonderful and supprotive during my pregnancy and in the difficult times after the twins birth. We too wanted to thank God for His precious gifts to us and the twins were baptised on the morning of their birthday party.
Great blog. I look forward to reading about ELijah's progress.
