Our Little Monster

Elijah has been starting to walk for the past two months, but it's official. He is walking EVERYWHERE without holding on to anything. What a big boy! We can hardly believe it, but then he is pretty amazing and we knew it. What's even cuter is when he takes his Mickey blanket along for the walk, although he does need to hold on when he's lugging Mickey around too.





We enjoyed an amazing visit with Uncle Justin the other week and Elijah really loved the extra attention. Justin had a lot of fun too, maybe even a little more than Elijah. They are super cute playing together and we just wish we all lived closer.

This past week has been a super busy one as well, what with school starting! Elijah had his first day of school at All Saints Parents Morning Out program from 8:00-12:00. He's going between the infant and toddler room, since he's not totally ready to run around all those big kids. Plus, he would be the youngest by over a month. He's just so awesome and he has done very well. The first few days were a bit rough, but by the end of the week, he didn't want to leave! I'm sure he LOVES the constant activity and I enjoy the afternoon nap he takes.

Our big boy...soooo big

Hahaha...I guess he's going to take his Army football with him too
Anyhow, enjoy the updates. OH and as for me, I was hired for an RN Case Manager position at Carolinas Hospital System. I'm really looking forward to starting and getting back into the swing of working. I've missed it, but am very thankful to have had the past 15 months with my beautiful, smart, loving little boy. God is good.
