Eli's First Birthday

Our sweet little Eli turned one this year and he couldn't be more precious to us! He is such a funny, sweet, loving little mamma's boy! 
His favorite words are: "Uh oh" when playing the gravity game with toys.
Calling out 'Mama!' in the sweetest voice when he's looking for me.
He always says 'dis' {this} while dramatically pointing at something he's interested in.
'Uh-scy' {outside} with his face pressed against the glass looking into the backyard. {He learned that one from Z}
'A-dah' {All done} when done with diaper changes, food, bath time, or anything he's had enough of. 

We didn't end up having a party for Zeke or Eli this year, but since Thanksgiving was so close to Eli's we just told him it was to celebrate him. ;)
 This last Thanksgiving we spent at our friend's {Jake and Melissa Airhart} house. 
 Eli and Ollie had fun hanging out with Nick and Joe Janes, sitting on the back-porch in true southern style. That's one of the great parts of army life. So many wonderful people come into our lives and although we all end up leaving we will often see each other again at our soldier's different assignments.
 Silly Baby {There must be some secret agreement between my boys to never act casual in a picture with mommy.} ;)
 This is maybe the only shot we have of the Christophersons, {the couple on the left} which is another family we love.  I also love how in this picture Zeke's about to hit Crosby over the head with something, but my warning voice called out just in time. 
 1-year-old Eli is loved by everyone he meets!
 Happy birthday to our little baby who we love so much.
