Happy three!

Eli turned Three.... its true. Our little Preemie baby that I thought was so little, so fragile and precious, is now not so little - and tough, but still precious.

He told us that he wanted to have a family birthday, so thats what we did! We enjoyed presents, cake, ice cream, swimming and playing at the park. He was WAY spoiled with presents from family across the U.S. and is ecstatic to have so much to play with. This is the first time he has opened his own presents. In the past, he has asked someone else to do it for him. So it was a big milestone.

He loves:

Superman

Baseball

Cars and trucks

Tractors and building

Dinosaurs ("but don't worry mommy, they are good ones")

Moroni and All the Good nephites... with swords.

He is a snuggle bean

He still takes a two hour nap everyday! Wahoo!!

He eats many things-- including bread crust and apple peals.

He speaks very properly, saying things like "Sure I do want to to that" and "Yes momma" and "Ok, I will help you."

He speaks in a deep tone, (a "man" voice if you will)when doing something "manly".

He is our family clown. He is a goof, he is hilarious.

He is Eli.

Happy Birthday Super man! We love you!
