Justin slid down the stairs this morning and found his first birthday present! His very own table and chair set! Of course, he was more interested in the ball he saw sitting on the table! (it's the simple things...)
The traditional "birthday door decorations!" This time they were created by his sweet sisters!
It has always been tradition for Grandma and Papa Q. to get my kids their own chair for their 1st birthday. He wasn't quite ready then... but he sure is now! He climbs in and out like a champ! (perfect chair for watching baby signing time!)
There was NO WAY I was leaving the store the other day with out this! He was in heaven with this particular toy isle! Move over baby toys... Just is now a BIG BOY! (Thank you Grandma and Papa G!)
While Daddy was trying to get the toy out (you have to have an engineering degree anymore to open these boxes) ... Taylee and April read their darling birthday cards to him!
Finally... time to enjoy the toy!
Daddy was keeping him plenty entertained during lunch. The staff was sweet! The sang to him and brought him some ice cream... his all time favorite!
(Are you sick of the play by play yet?!) We topped the day off with the cupcakes... which he thoroughly enjoyed!
You guessed it... once he was done, he wanted down. He headed straight for his tractor!
Happy Birthday Justin!! Looks like you had a wonderful day and by the way, I loved the play by play. Ella got her own chair for her birthday too. Wish we could put their chairs side by side and get a photo. We love you Justin....Glad you have joined the "2" club!!
Happy Birthday! I have learned over the years to actually just take the toys out of the package and THEN wrap them so as not to have to fight the packaging when the kids open their gifts. Beautiful day!
Happy birthday Justin! I LOVED the play by play of your awesome birthday! you are super cute...I could look through TONS of pictures of you! we hope you had a great day!!
Thank you so much for posting all these great pictures!!! I loved the play by play. He looks so grown up in his chair what a cool tradition! Happy Birthday Justin!
Justin looks like the happiest little boy, loved his birthday pictures! After three girls in a row I am excited about buying boy toys again, I cant wait to buy Russell's first truck :)
Late checking in on all the blogs...but HAPPY happy birthday Justin! You are now in the 2 club! Love it! Can't wait until you come to CA! Sometime? We want to see you again!!!! Love ya! Brayden and Darlena

Happy Birthday Justin! I love his big boy chair - that looks super comfortable. Carter got that ball for his birthday too - and he loves it! It is so fun to have them get into the "big boy" toys like cars and trucks and tractors! Glad his day was so much fun!
How could I have missed J man's birthday? Blogging hiatus or not, that is unforgivable?!?!!
HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY J-MAN!
Looks like you guys had a fun filled day!
p.s. I know, aren't the getting into gifts ridiculous? After enough screams and impatient kids, we have learned to disassemble and just set back in the box before giving at Christmas time or we'd be crazy!
14 amazing years of marriage and the proud mommy of 4 angels! Our sweet boy happens to have Down syndrome and is the rock of our family. They bring a smile to my face every morning! Who could ask for anything more?
“God doesn’t give children with special needs to strong people; He gives children with special needs to ordinary, weak people and then gives them strength. Raising a child with special needs doesn’t TAKE a special family, it MAKES a special family.”
'We often think that having a child with Trisomy 21 is like gaining membership to a secret club, a club you never knew you wanted to be in or even existed, but once you are in, you are so thankful that you were chosen.'
I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. ~ Maya Angelou
Everything is possible.... the impossible just takes a little longer.
Be kinder than necessary, because everyone is fighting some kind of battle.
You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it.
"D" is for Down syndrome. It's something we have, it's not who we are.
