We are TWO!

Dan and I took Elijah out for a birthday dinner last night. He loved his grilled cheese, as usual, and his chocolate oreo mousse, too. Then Elijah had a nice present for us...the biggest, poopiest diaper we've seen in a long time. When I set him down in the living room, I noticed some chunky looking things on the sleeve of my coat. Hmmmmm....it looked like throw-up, but there was no evidence that that had happened. I shrugged it off, and then I heard Dan say, "OOOoohhhhhh!! That's what it is!" Elijah had pooped up his back and shared it all with us! Thanks, little man! :) We threw him into the tub and then opened presents. He got some fun things and played with them for a bit and then it was time for bed. It had been an almost full week of daycare, and that always wears him down.


Enjoying the chocolate mousse dessert

Today we had some family and close friends over for a little celebration. It was fun! Elijah wasn't so sure of his cake at first, but he ate a little bit of it. He loved the ice cream. At times he was a bit overwhelmed by all of the attention, but he did well. By the time everyone had left, he was an exhausted boy. He got such nice gifts....he is such a lucky boy!


LOVING the train set from Grammie P and Gramps...thanks guys!

Yesterday was E's 2-year well visit, and it went really well. His weight was in the 30th-ish percentile and his height was just under that. This is great news! His height had been at a plateau for a while, so this spurt eased some worries. Medically, he is doing great. He is progressing in many ways, although obviously "behind." I asked Dr. Judy about autism because of his seriously delayed speech and she thought NO. Yay! She thought that as long as he communicated somehow (pointing, signing, grunting, etc.) that he was probably ok. We will re-evaluate in six months. There were no other major issues. We have cardiology, urology and pulmonology in two months. Dr. J thought it would be a good idea to get in to see his geneticist soon to make sure there isn't something genetic going on with all the anomalies he has.


Bath toys, hmmmmm, look at my sweet double chin...

We love our boy so much. He brings such amazing joy to our lives. We are so happy and thankful for these two years. He has changed our lives immensely. Thanks for checking in. We are so appreciative of our amazing family and friends. xooxxo
