Today is Eli’s birthday.
Brian, Anna, Noah and I are taking Eli out for a few hours of birthday celebration. (Clara said she’d rather stay home since she can’t eat cupcakes anyway.)
Last night we had some pre-celebration since Brian will be gone tonight for glass. We flew kites (Eli loves kites) and went out frozen yogurt and opened a few presents. It’s decided that he thinks birthdays are wonderful.
I’ll be back to share more information about our sweet little guy. I’m dying to tell you all about him.


































He’s so adorable! Love that last picture. Happy birthday!
No way! I remember when you were announcing his birth! I can’t believe it’s been two wonderful years… Happy birthday, little man! He’s so adorable!
How is he two already?? Love that last shot.
Happy Birthday, Eli!
Happy Birthday sweet boy!
He’s so cute
Happy birthday, Eli
So Sweet! Happy, happy birthday Eli and happy birth day to his mama!
Happy 2nd Birthday Eli
I can’t wait to hear more about him!! All the pictures are so sweet. He looks like such a big boy now in the last shot
He really looks like Trey in the second to last photo, with the pancakes. I did a double take!
I hope Eli has the best birthday–he is so full of joy.
Look at him!!! Hope you have a wonderful day. Happy two, Eli!!

I just cannot believe this is true. You know, the 2 years old thing.
He’s such a joy, Beth! Happy Birthday to him!!
He is such a doll! Happy birthday to him!
I can’t believe he’s already TWO! It seems like just a little while ago that you introduced him on your blog!! He is such a handsome boy…and definitely looking like a little boy and not a toddler at all. Have a wonderful day with your sweet boy!!!
Just came back to check for an update and had to look at his cute pics again…and realized, his eyes changed from blue to brown this past year! I’ve heard of it happening but you can almost see the change happening in his pictures. So cool!
No matter the color, he has beautiful, soulful, eyes.
love the progression of photos. yay Eli!
I would like to squeeze on that cute, sweet, wonderful boy… much love & birthday smooches from all of us
Omigoodness, he’s always had the sweetest face in the world!! UGH! I can’t get over how old he is looking, it is just CRAZY! Happy birthday sweet little Eli, we love you so much!!!
Hi Beth, Gina told me about you.
I am a new baby loss mom that loves photography. I just started Blogging to cope with the loss of my Jonathan. Shooting has been very healing for me…Although I have not done a lot, I plan on getting out and trying to have some fun. Gina mentioned you talked about your loss in you about page, but I could not find it. I see you have a link up….but has guidelines. Can you tell me what they are, is it on MONDAY? I am so happy to have found you, if you have any tips for a newly grieving mommy let me know. Also if you have written about your experience I would love to read it!
Happy birthday, sweet Eli!
Wow! 2 years! That’s crazy.
He is so adorable!
I love the one of him all tiny looking in his car seat!
Happy Birthday Eli.
