My Eli turns the big 1

Here is my little man 1 year ago. They are so cute when they are asleep. The cutest really. So quiet. So NOT whiny.
Eli weighed 9 lbs. 8 oz. and was 2 days late.



Here I am 1 year ago. I don't look that different.......bummer.

I guess he wanted a pony. Okay, so the cake turned out nothing like the picture. It is a caterpillar if you can't tell. I won't even show you what it was supposed to look like. It looks like it has a broken neck. I am aware of this.
At least he didn't care about the appearance of the cake.

I'm not sure how much I weigh. But my mom's back hurts her alot. So it must be a big number.
I am a mommas boy.
I love taking baths and I hate having my diaper changed. (wouldn't you?)
I love my pacifier & bottle but don't give me a sippy. I don't like them.
I have taken about 7 steps (my brother and sister didn't walk until about 13 months...I don't want to show them up.

I love my brother and sister.

Daddy took me to Fudruckers for dinner. I think I over heard my mom telling him I wanted to go there. Thanks Daddy!


I can't walk yet but can do this.......








I (amy) was doing the dishes and turned around and saw this. I can't remember what it was but I let him keep eating it for a minute. It was on the very top of the garbage. I stopped him right after the video. Okay, maybe 5 minutes after. Happy birthday bubba.....We love you!

That pic of him crying is the best. Look at those legs!! I think if people give you a hard time about your baby weight, just divert them to Eli's healthy proportions.

You might have a future in cake making, you know that?

Happy Birthday to Eli! That year went by so fast. I must agree with everyone else... the cake is very domestic and looks great. He is adorable- too bad he and Aliyah cant play together, they would have a blast.
