Celebrating Our Little Fighter: Our 3-Month-Old Warrior

Three months ago, our tiny miracle came into the world at just 28 weeks old — a fighter from the very beginning. Born alongside his twin brother, our sweet boy has already shown us what strength, determination, and love truly look like.

After nearly two months in the NICU, we finally got to bring him home, and every day since has been a celebration of life and progress. Though he’s still so small, he’s already accomplished so much. He’s thriving, finds the most comfort snuggled up with his twin. There’s a special bond between them that words can’t quite capture — just pure love.

He’s also the cherished little brother to two amazing big brothers, who adore him beyond measure. Watching them all together is nothing short of magic. Our house is filled with cuddles, and the joy of having our family together, finally under one roof.
This year’s Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk means more to us than ever before. It’s a celebration of resilience, community, and the beautiful, diverse journeys that come with an extra chromosome. For our family, it’s a chance to honor how far our little guy has come — from the NICU to snuggling in our arms — and to look ahead with hope, strength, and unity.
We walk not just for him, but for every child and family walking this path. We walk to raise awareness, to spread love, and to show the world that our son is not defined by a diagnosis — he is defined by his courage, his smile, and the incredible light he brings into our lives.

Thank you for supporting us, cheering him on, and being part of this journey.

With love,
The Jeffery Family
