Elijah had a pretty calm and quiet birthday weekend. Unfortunately Matt was VERY ill with the flu (possibly H1N1) so he was quarantined to the bedroom and didn't get to hang out with the birthday boy much.
Elijah had several packages and cards arrive via the postman and UPSman. Christmas provided lots of present opening practice so he had it down for his birthday! :-) The first package was from Aunt Anne. He loves the tickle hand that came with an adorable book. He often brings it to me so that I can put it on and use it. The third picture is of a card that Great Aunt Marilyn sent him. It is the Little Engine that Could and has 4 buttons to push that make different sounds. He LOVES this card and plays with it all of the time.
Gram Bailey sent some awesome building blocks. He doesn't really have the building part down yet but he definitely knows how to take them apart. In the second picture below, Elijah is playing in the fridge. He has on a very stylish new shirt that also arrived from Aunt Anne. The third picture gives you a great idea of just how long those baby locks were getting to be (don't worry -- a first haircut post will be coming soon).
Holly came over with birthday wishes. I think these pictures of the two of them are wonderful! Finally we start the series of the first cake expedition. This is the before shot! He looks like he's so happy and ready to eat. Little did he know he was getting such a sweet treat (definitely something he is not used to).
The first finger dips into the frosting. Definitely a face that says "Mmmm." After several more finger dips and licks, he finally picks it up!
And that was all she wrote. Once he got ahold of that thing, it was gone in a matter of minutes! What a yummy, fun mess! And of course, some milk to wash it all down!
We now have a ONE year old. Wow! How quickly that first year goes. He is our joy!
