Elijah's 2nd birthday!

Last Saturday we celebrated Elijah's 2nd birthday. I cannot believe that 2 years has come and gone! He had a dr's appointment yesterday and here are his stats : height-35 1/2 inches tall (80th percentile) weight- 28.6 pounds (50th percentile)... so tall and skinny!

The days leading up to Elijah's birthday were so fun cuz Elijah would tell me " why-jah (elijah) party, find it!" and then I would have to tell him it will be here on saturday. so everyday he would then ask me "saturday?" and I would have to tell him not yet. lol. Anytime you asked him about his party he would say "thomas, party!" and then list a few of the trains names that he wanted to join the party. I love how he is getting such a personality and truly being able to express to us what is going on inside that little head of his lol.

Anywho, his party was at 10am at the park right by our house. The weather was great, a bit windy... but can't complain cause the wind is what made it nice out.

I think his party turned out well :) Here are my fav pics from his party..

This was the day before his party, but such a good picture.


giving his best bud,Silas, a hug :)

Sitting with his cup cakes saying (and showing) that he is 2!

Hanging out with his other good buddy, Benaiah.

Blowing out his candles... it was very windy (hence all the hands around
the cup cake lol)

We did things backwards and let him blow out his candle (due to the wind)
before we sung to him. - so this pic we are singing to him :)

most of the kiddo's at the party. a few were missing from
this picture.


Elijah and Silas (and Megan in the background lol) enjoying
their cup cakes

I think they liked the capri sun's more then the cup
cakes. lol

Elijah opened the jeep we got him.... he loved it!

Elijah gave Benaiah a turn to drive.

Elijah LOVED his thomas bubble blower!

Kind of sharing ?! lol

Elijah and Benaiah had a great time playing together!

catching bubbles.


We spent the rest of saturday just hanging out as a family and playing with Elijah and all his new toys.

Sunday, May 23rd, was Elijah's actual birthday. We went to church then spent the rest of the day at my parents house letting Elijah play with his cousins and just visiting with family. I'd say his over all birthday weekend turned out great and it was very nice to have so much family time :)
