It’s the little things
It’s the little things about Elliott that take my breath away…it’s the little things that I love. That’s such a cliche term, I almost hate to write it. But that’s all I could think about all day long…Those few words, running through my head all day. It’s the little things about Elliott that I simply… Continue reading It’s the little things

Alert! Party Zone!
My sweet baby boy turned one (yes, 6 weeks ago, but that’s beside the point), and we were so excited to celebrate him!! Although this post is quite late, I wanted to get it up anyway :). Due to the fact that the majority of our resources–time, energy, and money–for Elliott’s birthday were dedicated to… Continue reading Alert! Party Zone!
Easter Eggs, Soccer Balls, and Lessons for Mommy
Elliott is COMPLETELY obsessed with balls, and so we were so excited to bring him to his very first Easter egg hunt that they held at the base. Eggs are just like balls, right? Only squished in the middle? Like a ball with a belt on…that’s what I told Elliott. They let the “little” kids… Continue reading Easter Eggs, Soccer Balls, and Lessons for Mommy

Elliott’s 1st Birthday!
It’s funny…you wait for this day all year…it’s such a milestone…and I was convinced that balloons and streamers were going to be set off in the air all day long and that there would be dancing and singing in the streets from dawn until dusk, which is when the fireworks would take over and the… Continue reading Elliott’s 1st Birthday!
12 months of pure joy
Well, seeing as this post is almost a month late, Elliott’s “official” 12 month post will be short and sweet. SO much has changed from months 11-12 until now, when he’s almost 13 months!!! But here are a few highlights from before he turned 1. Elliott babbles on and on every day. He says “dis”… Continue reading 12 months of pure joy
Elliott’s Birth Story
It was almost a year ago, on the day after Elliott was born, that I said I would post Elliott’s birth story “very soon”…does 52 weeks later count as “very soon”? Today my baby boy turned one. Unbelievable. And in honor of my sweet baby Elliott’s first birthday, I polished up his birth story to post… Continue reading Elliott’s Birth Story
