Happy BIRTHDAY!!

Hooray! I can't believe it but today Eli turned one. For some reason I really took a trip down memory lane with Eli's first birthday as opposed to Lydia's. It made me feel so sad and happy at the same time. I can remember it all as clear as it was yesterday. I hope this memory is always as sharp as it is today. Anyway, to celebrate we spent time as a family together. There was lots of everything Eli enjoys doing (eating and playing). He is walking like crazy now... he still stumbles sometimes and crawls but he is doing great on his feet. Is it just me or does the second one grow up so much faster than the first?!

Eli (or should I say Lydia) open his presents today after our walk around our new neighborhood and he LOVED it. We got his a huge Tonka Dump Truck and some little cars (from Lydia) and he was having the best time taking them out and putting them back (video to come). We opened Granny's present (my granny... so his great granny) too and is was a great book that immediately went into the bath tub and was fought over like crazy (we might have to go buy a second).

I think it was a great day and we truly celebrated the addition that Elijah has been to our family. Eli we all love you so much!
