I’m sitting at the kitchen table, drinking coffee, Eli is in his highchair, he’s eating cheerios and fake coughing, he does that so I’ll say “goodness!” He loves it when I say “goodness!”
Soon, I’ll give him his yogurt. I love the way he eats, he usually eats like he’s never going to eat again, he shovels handful after handful in his mouth. There is always food in both his hands, his mouth and in his neck. All at the same time.
Time is moving so quickly with him.
On Monday, Eli will have his surgery. If you recall, he was supposed to have it done in November but became sick the day before so we had to reschedule. I’m going to take him in today to make sure we have the all clear from our pediatrician and if we do then we are heading to Indianapolis on Sunday. (also, if you recall, I’m not sharing the details of the surgery but it’s not life threatening, so you need not worry.)
(I’ll worry enough for all of us.)
Can you even believe how big he is?
Ok, I think he looks so much like Brian in that last one! Ha!
Steph
From now on, when people use the word “cute,” they should have to pay Eli royalties.
Praying all goes well.
He’s so darn cute!!! Many prayers that his surgery goes as planned and his recovery is speedy!!!
I hope everything goes well with his surgery!
He’s looking between his legs for the ‘next one’…
I love the yoga pose; Elise does that too. Steph took the words right out of my mouth – Eli looks so much like Brian!
That pic of him looking through his little boy legs is just too much!! I think he looks like the perfect combo of his sister and brother. He reminds me of them both. Hope the surgery goes smoothly. We’ll be thinking of you…
He is truly adorably cute!
Seems like my Eli was just that size and I just dropped him off at preschool…so I echo you…time does move WAY TOO FAST! 
Glad he’s such a happy little guy!
Wow! He’s huge!! I cannot believe how big he has gotten! So cute.
OH my goodness
priceless
Good luck big boy! (And hang in there mom!)
He is so stinkin cute!!
Prayers for good news and a successful surgery. I bet he is getting such a personality, you can see it in these pictures!
Who gave him permission to grow up so much?
He’s too precious for words!
What a beautiful boy!!! …and my prayers will be with you for his surgery!!!
Aw. Good luck on the surgery, little man. And little Mama. He’s such a gorgeous hunk of baby – I can have a little nibble, right?
Matthew has that same sleeper right now – he calls it his “dog-dog shirt.” They’re bruthas from anutha mutha!
He is so big! Goodness. Love the standing shot.
What a great blog you have! What a gorgeous baby! I love your post and your photos…
I hope everything goes well Monday with the surgery. It’s so hard not to worry even if it’s miner. I will be thinking of you. . .Hey, I’m a mom. That’s what we do. We worry! Sometimes it’s okay to worry together.
I love it when little kids stand on their head like that. Wonderful pictures. Hope the surgery goes well
No we can’t believe how big he is already and every picture is so amazing. I love the fact that his adorable personality comes through in each of them. Oh and the downward facing dog? Who can bear it. Can’t wait ’til you’re home Monday and this is all behind you.
he is just so, so precious.
oh, the footie pajamas. i miss the footie pajamas….
What a sweet big boy! I will pray for his surgery and for you and Brian that you will be peaceful.
He is so freakin cute! I love the one of him looking through his legs!! Good luck with the surgery. I’ll be praying and thinking of y’all.
SOOO adorable! and I am hoping everything goes well for him and you!
He is SO cute, Beth! Praying all goes well and you have great peace. Both of you.
Prayers going up for Eli’s surgery!! Hope all goes “better than expected”…Love the pic with his “booty in the air”! It’s amazing how fast they grow up, huh?
That second last one of him looking through his legs is adorable!!
Hope the surgery goes smoothly.
Beth,
These pictures are SO PRECIOUS. What a boy! Just wanted you to know that I’ll be keeping you all (esp. Eli) lifted up in prayer. ~Sally
