Hard to believe it, but Elijah turned one today. Amazing to think back on the little 4 pound, 5 ounce peanut he was and look at him today. We don't have the official weigh in yet, as I take him tomorrow, but he's doing very well. It's been a great year.
We got together with my family, Papa, Wawa, Josh, Abby and Elliette (Greta and Tom couldn't make it back from Chicago two weeks in a row) and our dear friends the Taylors for a little party.
Papa, Eli and Dory show off various styles of bald and beautiful.
Eli was very excited about cake and was ready to dive in while these photos were taken.
You may have noted the two inch votive candle on the cake in the top photo. Untraditional, yes. While we are trying not to have him suffer from complete and total "third child" syndrome, sometimes details that never would have been missed the first, or even the second time, get missed this time around. Case in point: candles. Oops. The up side was this candle could be left burning for awhile :)
But once he got around to the reality of eating it, he was a little less sure about the whole thing.
Preferring, instead, to fingerpaint with it.
He preferred the presents...
