Eli is ONE!

Eli's birthday was on Friday, January 8. It was a gray and drizzly day. I had high hopes of some cute pictures, but the lighting was so bad all day!

He woke up  and had his milk and cereal. (Not together.)

 I tried to get a cute picture of his in a birthday hat. No luck.

 The rest of the day was pretty standard. Took the big kids to school, ran an errand or two, two naps, picked the big kids up.

For dinner we had rolls, cheddar broccoli soup, and blueberries. All of which Eli loves! Cupcakes for dessert.

 The only one with him looking is blurry! Darn!

 He opened his presents - socks, pajamas, sippy cups, and a stuffed monkey.

 Then on to dessert.

 He didn't go hog-wild about it or anything, but I think he liked it fine. He prefers to be fed, so Dan helped him out a little bit.

 And after smashing some cupcake in Eli's face, it was time for a quick bath.

We sure love this little guy! His dr's appt is in two days, so I don't have his stats, but he has two teeth all the way in on the bottom and his top two are about half way in. It's funny how both sets have come at the same time. He pulls up on everything and will walk around things holding on. He can stand for a few seconds before falling. He likes to dance. He started clapping on his birthday. He loves Sam and Afton. He has a favorite blanket. He finally sleeps through the night (that didn't happen until around 9 months). He still loves toilet paper and destroying our house. He is really sweet.
