This boy

Oh this boy.  


He brings us so much joy.


Recent nicknames:

Gecko 
(compliments of Hannah and PJ Masks)

E-ja-wai-woo-a
(again Hannah, when she tries to say Elijah Leilua)

Bubba
(when he was born this was how they said 'brother' and it just stuck)






just a boy and a stick



Four months is my favorite age.  All three of my four month olds have been the happiest smiliest most loving babies I can imagine.  This is when we seem to hit a sweet spot and it just keeps getting better from there.  I love watching Elijah grow and I love being the one who takes care of him.  I love how much Andrew and I are a complete team in raising these kids and I try never to take it for granted.  I feel lucky and blessed and loved by these two boys and I love them back with all my heart.
