Here are a couple of our favorite pictures from Eli's one year "photo shoot!" (We decided to keep Makenna in her routine and she stayed at "school" while we took Eli for his pictures.) I decided to show one cupcake picture, but the rest will have to wait! We're looking forward to celebrating Eli's first birthday this Saturday - on his actual birthday. I can't believe the first year is almost over. It is amazing the things they learn that first year. He has been taking steps for a couple of weeks now and is getting braver by the day. He went from his knees to his feet and took a couple of steps tonight. Not much longer before he is a true toddler!
He FINALLY said "mama" and now won't stop! But, it took so long to hear it, I can't complain. He LOVES balls. And knows how to say ball, Bailey, daddy, mama, and bye. Maybe a couple of other things I can't think of at the moment. He LOVES to eat. Most of the time he has to feed himself and has not been eating baby food since a little after 9 months. His daily report card indicates he eats "ALL" of his meals. He is such a momma's boy. I'm trying to enjoy because I know it won't last forever!
Those are some of the things that Eli is up to these days.
Robert and I (Carmen) were married in May 2004. In January 2009 we welcomed our beautiful daughter Makenna and July 2010 we welcomed our handsome little man Elijah.
