Eli's First Birthday!!

     Our little man turned one last week on the 5th of August!

We had a party on Saturday the 4th, with close friends and family. He was the "star" of the party at his star themed party. We celebrated his special day with dinner and cupcakes! What a wild time it was with the large group of cousins and little ones playing and having fun! We were very thankful that 11 of his cousins got to be here for his big day! We also celebrated with my play group on the 8th as well!

Another birthday song for my darling boy!

Eli at one years old...He is toddling around and getting into everything these days! He has 6 teeth, enjoys his bath, likes to read books at bedtime, is sleeping through the night except on random nights, is happy in his car seat, likes to play with Hazel and loves to bop to the music! He will only really say, "da da", can clap his hands, give high fives, and points to his nose. He loves when mommy and daddy are crazy and silly with him! I have been a little sad knowing our last baby is becoming a toddler...so I will treasure each special moment I have with our sweet, Eli!
We went to his one year appointment and these are his stats-
Weight- 23 pounds (53%)
Height- 31 inches (83%)
