Happy 1st Birthday to ELI!!

Eli turned 1 January 30 and we celebrated his first birthday February 6. We had to delay a few days due to some wintery weather that postponed Meems' and Peeps' arrival. Eli LOVED his cake - and why wouldn't he? It was delicious and adorable!

At one, Eli has five teeth, is cruising and considering walking, starting to figure out some words,  and has the most infectious chuckle. He's not a laugh-y, smile-y baby, but when he's really tickled, he has the cutest laugh. He's adjusted well to daycare and has a big appetite (out-eats his big brother most meals!). He definitely knows what he wants and will let you know if he doesn't get it. At his one-year check up, he weighed 28 pounds and was 32 inches long.

Happy birthday, sweet Eli!
Pre-Eli
Did someone say "CAKE?"
No hesitation - he was ready to get his hands on that cake!
And he dug right in.
And continued to cram it in...
....until we took it away, which he did NOT like at all!
Happy birthday from Uncle Shan, Aunt Dee, Zach & Reagan!
