Wow, it has been an awesome FIRST YEAR!! Elijah is my little sweetheart. He is walking now, and he can say several words (Mama, Dada, Bubba, ball, bye bye, more, juice, shoes--the last 2 sound the same). He loves balls, and he is learning to throw and catch from his big brother Jordan. He also loves to wear hats, as you can see from the picture below (it's a birthday cake hat). He has the sweetest, friendliest disposition. He also loves to cuddle. Happy Birthday Elijah!!
At his Mother's Day Out class, they made this cute poster for his birthday.
On his actual birthday, we went to Taco Diner of course (my choice). Then Jaron and I walked over to Sprinkles Cupcakes and brought back a little pumpkin cupcake for Elijah. Several people in the restaurant were gazing at our little cutie!
I really think he knew he was supposed to blow out the candle.
He needed a little help from Bubba.
Yummy!!
He did get to open some presents!
Again with help from his brothers...
We got him a cute little toy that pops balls out of the top and then they roll down the ramp. He loves balls!!
His favorite song is "The Wheels on the Bus," and conveniently, Mammas and Poppop gave him a little toy bus for his birthday! Here he is with the toy, and he is doing the hand motions for "The Wheels on the Bus."
Cary got Elijah this cute Winnie the Pooh outfit!
For his birthday party, my Mom (Mimi) made this awesome "Ball" cake!
Celebrating with Grandaddy

He is a big boy and can drink from a sippy cup!
Here is Elijah with one of my very best friends, Tiff!
Elijah and Mimi!! Thansk for the cake, Mimi!! (I think he is saying "BALL!")
It was so cool that 2 of my best friends could join us for Elijah's party. Ashley (who happened to be in town!) and Tiffany both joined us! Ashley was my Tri Delt big sis and Tiff was my Tri Delt little sis, and so they are really like family! It meant so much to me that they came.
Here's Dada holding Elijah as he tries to blow out his candle.
Mmmm...pumpkin cake again for my little pumpkin!!
Here is what the big boys did. They rode on my Mom's surrey bike. Look at their faces!!
Elijah with my sister Haley!
My baby and me....
