Our 2 Year Old

Our friend, Amanda at A.D. Photography took our pictures again this year. Here Eli is trying to show you how old he is!

The day has come when our little boy turns 2. When I look at his baby pictures, it feels like it was just months ago. We are so blessed to have him in our lives. He is such a joy! God is good to allow us to be his parents. Our prayer is that we are parenting the way He wants us too and for His glory! 

Stats: Height 35" (75th percentile) Weight 28.8 lbs (61st percentile)

The day he was born.

Our 1 year old!

Some things I want to remember...

-He loves to dance when he hears music. He can't help himself.

-He loves Bob the Builder and Super Why.

-The other night we drove through a neighborhood with lots of Christmas lights. He loved it! He kept saying, "wow, light-t". He added 2 t's at the end for some reason. He now does this with all words that end in t or k. 

-Isn't the best eater, but will eat when he's hungry so I don't lose sleep over it. 

-When daddy and mommy hug or kiss, he has to get in on the action too. He doesn't like to be left out.

-If it's not his idea, he doesn't always like to play along.

-When he sees something tall- like a water tower- he'll say, "tall tall tower, sit down"! 

-Eli: "Super Why?"
Mom: "Do you want to watch Super Why?"
Eli: "Ooookay." 
(This also happens when he asks for snacks, drink, trains, etc...)

-When he's excited he says "wow wow wow wow" and usually laughs while putting his hands over his face. 

-Sometimes he comes up to Brent and me, points to us and says "poopy poopy poopy poopy" and then laughs.
