HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BOY ELIJAH!!!
I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT ELIJAH IS 4 YEARS OLD ALREADY. WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?
IT SEEMS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY HE LOOKED LIKE THIS.....
ELIJAH WAS SUCH AN AMAZING BABY. HE SLEPT 12 HOURS A NIGHT AT 8 WEEKS AND HASN'T LOOKED BACK.
HE HAS SUCH A TENDER HEART AND A SWEET SPIRIT. ON THE OTHER HAND, HE IS 100% ALL BOY....PACKED FULL WITH MORE ENERGY THAN I'VE EVER SEEN. HE IS A HANDFUL -- BUT, WHAT 4 YEAR OLD BOY ISN'T??!! {AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I KEEP TELLING MYSELF TO MAKE FEEL BETTER - HA HA}
WE ALREADY HAD A BIRTHDAY PARTY WHEN JIM WAS HOME. BUT, I HAD TO DO SOMETHING FOR HIM ON THE BIG DAY!! I'M ALL ABOUT BIRTHDAYS AND CELEBRATING AND MAKING THE PERSON FEEL SUPER SPECIAL. SO, TONIGHT WE ARE HAVING FAMILY OVER FOR CAKE AND A FEW PRESENTS!! I WILL POST PICS FROM TONIGHT LATER THIS WEEK.
ANOTHER MILESTONE THAT ELIJAH REACHED WHILE DADDY WAS HOME WAS POTTY TRAINING. I THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA BE 4 YEARS OLD AND STILL IN PULL-UPS!!! HE KEPT TELLING ME HE WAS WAITING FOR DADDY TO COME HOME -- AND TRUE TO HIS WORD HE CAME THROUGH :) WE ARE SO VERY HAPPY FOR HIM...AND ALSO THANKFUL WE DON'T HAVE TO BUY DIAPERS ANY MORE!!!
HERE ARE SOME RECENT PICTURES OF ELIJAH...
ELIJAH...WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS. YOU HAVE BROUGHT SUCH JOY TO OUR LIVES. YOU ARE FULL OF ENERGY. YOU ARE VERY SMART. YOU ARE A TERRIFIC BIG BROTHER TO JOHN DANIEL WHO LOVES YOU SO MUCH. YOU ARE A GREAT HELPER TO ME. YOU ARE SWEET. YOU ARE A LOVER OF FOOD {ESP. CHIPS & SALSA}.
GOD HAS AMAZING PLANS FOR YOU. WE ARE SO EXCITED TO SEE ALL THAT THE LORD IS GOING TO DO THROUGH YOU.
WE LOVE YOU AND WISH YOU A HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY!!!
