Back Track to th End of May: Eli's Birthday

 So I failed to document a very important mile stone in Eli's life.  He turned 2!  For the past 4 months, I have been in nauseous, Morning Sick oblivion, so blogging hasn't necessarily been a high priority.  Eli had a very low key Birthday, for the above stated reason.  We opened presents in the morning, and then for dinner, Kenny brought home a Papa Murphy's pizza (in which Eli ate half of a large all to himself!) and Ken also had the goodness to buy some of their cookie dough and a #2 candle so that we could still have a treat and I didn't have to worry about making anything.  That is one good man! Luckily for us, Eli is young enough and easy going enough, that he didn't notice how low key everything was.

 Eli is a wonderful little boy.  He definitely lets you know what he wants, but he really is a happy kid most of the time. He loves pizza. He loves cookies. He loves cheese.  That might be it.  Getting him to eat is one of our largest frustrations with him.  He loves to do anything that Shiloh is doing, much to the chagrin of his older brother.  They are starting to play well now that Eli talks so well.  Eli has the amazing ability to play with one or two things, by himself, for an hour or so.  It is quite nice.  He is very good at keeping himself entertained.  He loves to get into things.  He loves animals. He loves trains and tractors and pretty much anything that moves.  I think his favorite thing in the whole world though is to go play in the sand box.  We love you E! We are glad that you are in our family!
