two years old

yep, that's right! little E is TWO today. i can hardly believe how quickly these two years have gone by. i miss that little baby but get so excited to see him learn so many new things every day. definitely bitter sweet!

here is a short video of the past two years.


just a few things about elijah now:
  • temper tantrums are in full force. a trip to target yesterday was full of high pitched screams simply because he couldn't have the following items: a video game case, a bike horn, a hair brush, chocolate (he kept calling it chocolate but it was actually a travel size bottle of axe deodorant), a book, and a foam sledge hammer. yes, a rather odd selection of items, but he just basically wants everything he sees. 
  • he basically eats nothing healthy now. he likes pb&j sandwiches, pizza, grapes, french fries, ketchup, ranch, bread, and any kind of chips or candy. we can get him to eat fruit if it is one of those baby food pouches. totally going in the wrong direction for a two year old, i know. 
  • he LOVES trains. it's pretty much all he plays with. 
  • he can officially climb out of his crib. sometimes it freaks me out to see him walk in the room when he should be in bed. 
  • he wears a size 2T in clothing and a size 4-5 in shoes (although he still won't really keep shoes on his feet).
  • he says many words clearly and forms some sentences of two words.
  • he loves his daddy way more than his mommy. *grin* he has major separation anxiety when jason tries to leave him. he has pretty much always been like that though. 
  • hands down the cutest little runner ever. he runs with his legs spread slightly too far and i love it.

happy birthday to our little man!

we don't usually have big birthday celebrations for our children because so much of our family lives far away, but we are celebrating with a trip to marbles museum for his birthday. he loves the train table there and i know it would be the perfect thing for him. go figure, huh? later on we will have cake and a gift as well. be on the lookout for pictures of his special day.
