I'm expecting my first kid in December, and I think this is a great idea. It would be awesome to open up a bottle of something on his 21st that I made for him when he was born.
One thing though, I'm a Navy pilot, which means I'll be moving around about every 3 years for the foreseeable future. How well does mead hold up to changes in temperatures, and to simply being over 20 years old? Is it easy for a batch to go bad?

I believe that due to the typical mead having a very high alcohol content, the honeys natural preservative nature (I don't know if that's altered in fermentation), plus a low pH, that meads last for a long time. I believe there is some little anecdote in "Complete Joy of Homebrewing" about C. Pap having some mead stored in crates buried at the top of a mountain that requires a couple-day hike to reach; and I think my 3rd edition book said it was 15 or so years at that point and that was published a couple decades ago IIRC.

Sorry to sound like a wet blanket -- but if there hasnt been age (ability) considerations in regard to protein stability, potassium meta bisulphate additions, pH, residual sugars, filtration, etc I would be celebrating her 1st or 2nd birthday without disappointment.

Their baby sister is two months old so I have some time to plan hers.

Haven't you guys ever seen Vacation? Chevy Chase gives Russ his "first" beer and he takes to it like a fish in water. I gotta respect anyone waiting 21 years for anything but my kids would probably sneak some by age 14!
I am very impressed though.. keep it going.

I was wondering what your starter consisted of? Just sugar, nutrient and yeast like wine starters? What kind of yeast is best for the job?
