Happy Birthday to you...
Can we say YUMMO!!!!!
On September 30th, Elias celebrated his big '1' birthday! I think every parent says this, but seriously, 'where did the year go?!' I really feel like the first year of his life has flown by. It definitely went faster than Clara's first year! Maybe it's because we felt more comfortable as parents or trying to take in every stage or maybe it's because we were having SOOO much fun! I'm going to say all of the above!
We have been so blessed by Elias. He is such a happy and laid back fella. He warms my heart with every smile he shares. He's changed so much in one year. Here's the breakdown of what's happening in his life these days.
* Eli is into EVERYTHING. His favorites are pulling spices out of the lazy susan, trying to get through the blockade to get to the steps, pulling out tupperware from the cabinets and fishing in the toilet! {Gross Right?!} I've really had to give Blair lessons on making sure the lid is down and door is shut. Mmmmm this might actually be a win-win in the end with this new behavior! ;0
*Eli is a very laid back cat. He might be the only kid I know that you can take up to bed, sing one song, lay him down and leave the room. WOW...did I mention laid back?!
*He is starting to show us his independent side. {I knew it was coming!} He has his favorite toys and when they are pulled away...look out. One of those being the remote control!
He's cruising everywhere and pullling to stand like it's his job. I'd say walking is right around the corner! Until then...keep on cruisin' Eli!
On Sunday, we celebrated his big bday with family. We had a full house with lots of loved ones. How awesome that was! Elias gave us all his serious poker face while we were singing happy birthday! A common look he gives! :) As soon as the cake was placed in front of him the tasting began. He LOVED it! This kid likes almost all foods, so I figured the cake would be just another, but a great one at that! Who doesn't like sweets?! Here are a few photos of our celebration! Thanks to all our family that made the day so special!
