Saturday Eli turned one. Can you believe it?! I can't. I seriously feel like it was just last month that I was counting down the days until he was born, and now he is one. Any ways, do any of you remember this post, My Little Pirate, that I wrote last year? If you didn't get to read it last year then click the link and read away. And well, honestly, if you don't read it then you will have no idea why I'm about to share what I'm getting ready to share. Does that make any since folks? Okay so here it goes.....So for all of you that told me that I would love Eli the same, and I must confess that I totally doubted you, and well you were right!!! I was so scared to bring him home and throw Isaac's life out of whack, but let me tell you, Eli is the greatest thing God has done for our family. He has been such an easy, content baby, well that is after we figured out all of his little belly/milk issues.
The day I found out I was having another boy, I laid on the ultrasound table and cried. And then prayed that if God was giving me another boy he had to be my calm in the storm. God heard me that day and gave me just that, He gave me Eli. And the bond that I was 
SO afraid I wouldn't have with him like I had with Isaac is there, it's different, but it's there. Isaac always loved on me, but he never really liked me to just sit and hold him unless he was sick or something. It always bugged me, but it was never to much of a big deal. Well let me tell you, Eli is my snuggle bug. When he was first born I would put Isaac down for his afternoon nap and seriously just sit and hold Eli up on my chest. And he was SO content laying there. Actually to this day he loves to be held close and snuggled. He is a true blessing and every time I look at him he smiles and confirms to me that he loves me and thinks I hung the moon just for him. I love him!!! I love his BIG blue eyes, crazy fuzzy hair, the way he wobbles like a penguin, the way he tackles Isaac, and most of all that God chose him for us to be our calmness in our storm.

He went to the doctor's today and at one Eli is weighing in at a whooping 24.14 lbs. and is 31.75 inches tall. He has 10 teeth and two of those are his one year molars that came thru actually before his second tooth from the front two teeth. Eli loves to run around the house and giggle at himself. He loves to eat obviously, and his favorite foods are probably bananas and sweet peas. He has a special blankie just like his older brother. He will give you a high five or yummy kisses. And he is very inquisitive.
Happy 1st Birthday Baby Boy!!!!! We love you!!!
