This picture describes Elijah in a nutshell. He is lounging on his favorite pillow (thanks again, Samantha!) while watching tv, holding on tight to his belly button and crossing his legs. He loves to be comfy.
If you want to help out with our fundraiser, please scroll down a couple of posts and check out the Discovery Toys links. Our party today was great, but we could still use a lot more help so we can give some money to the Children's Heart Foundation. I am always so passionate about giving to this important organization.
I had an amazing weekend with my two boys. It was positive in a lot of ways. I had both of my boys completely to myself ALL WEEKEND, and plus, Elijah started full-fledged crawling! He has been crawling aroung the living room all day today. WOOHHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! You have no idea how excited I am about this. I am so proud. I get tears in my eyes thinking about it. His progress in the past week has been huge.
He has been so motivated to do things lately and I was motivated to accomplish things this weekend as well. I actually cleaned most of our house and did laundry. It feels so good to have a few things under control and to not just be doing the bare minimum, as I usually do.
I love how cute and bundled up he looks when we get him ready to go outside. Please don't mind the toys all over the place. That's a walker in the background (that he refuses to use) that ECFE loaned to us.
Usually when Elijah is getting sick he starts to sneeze a lot and his nose runs a little bit. Well, both of those things started to happen today. The last two times these things have happened he has gotten some pretty ugly croup. The first time, we headed to the hospital, and the second time, we took an ambulance ride to the hospital. We are praying very hard for no ambulance ride or hospital visit or croup episode tonight. While it is in the back of my mind, I just keep trusting that this isn't going to happen again.
Last week was a wonderful week and we are hoping for the same this week. We need to keep Elijah healthy leading up to his upcoming heart cath (next Wed). Please say some prayers. Thank you for checking in and keeping our sweet boy in your prayers.

Wow Megan. He is just going to be running circles around you all soon. What a week! Elijah - I know your Mommy and Daddy are proud - we are too! Your such a strong little boy - just growing and learning by leaps and bounds. Evan says his heart is super charged now... Elijah yours must be too!
Megan, you HAVE to share a video of Elijah crawling! Good to hear much progress was made this weekend, I wish I could say the same about myself!

LOL
he is soo cute.
Love that little bum.
Good for Elijah on crawling! Yay!! Love his comfy position on the floor, with the bum in the air - very cute :).
I'm so glad to see Elijah making this great progress. It's amazing how it seems to come in spurts. The physical, social and emotional all seem to support each other and then they just get on a roll!
I'll be praying for no scary croup.
Go Elijah! Awesome news. . .
xoxo,

Love the booty up in the air pose! Too cute! Hoping for hospital free nights!
OH...I love his little (big) bum in the air! He's so darn cute! And all bundled up...he's ready to play in some snow!
OK...I need to send my Eli your way. He wants to jump out of an airplane with you AND wants to live where it's cold. Maybe we should trade Eli's for a while??
Thanks for telling us about all the wonderful things that he's up to (I just knew that he'd be crawling by Christmas!)
YEAH for Elijah!
Oh, wow...I'm so proud of that boy! Look at all the new things he's doing! And crawling all over...how awesome!
He looks too cute all bundled in his coat! It's probaby cold up there now!
I'm glad you had such a nice weekend with your boys and I will pray extra hard that Mr. Elijah just has a little cold and nothing more! No big sickness allowed! give him a big squeeze from us!
Love ya!
Cindy
