Eli is 3!!!

Eli turned 3 on July 14Th. We celebrated his birthday with a small family party at Nana and Papa's. He had such a great day! Before his birthday I asked him what he wanted for his birthday and every time his response was 'I want clothes Mama'. I told him he didn't need any clothes and that he needed to find something else. Well he could never come up with anything so I broke down and bought him a couple shirts. He was so excited when he opened his shirt it was great! I have never seen a boy so excited about getting clothes! LOL!

Eli also got his Leapster for his birthday! Thanks Gigi! He loves it, he plays it all the time and has learned so much from it.

As we all know Eli is obsessed with Mr. Potato Head who he has named Kyle. Here is Eli with the Kyle he got from Big Nanny and Big Papa. He also got a Dallas Cowboys Kyle from Auntie Diane, Rick, Tavian and Makayla. And he got a Spider man Kyle from Aunt Shannon, Uncle Jeremy, Kaitlyn and Hank! (Jeremy and Shannon thanks for starting this obsession LOL!)

He took bites this big the whole time eating his piece of cake!AJ, Eli and Bella playing baseball in the backyard.Thank you to all of you who joined us to celebrate Eli's 3rd birthday. Eli is doing very well and talking so much, his vocabulary had just expanded so much in the last couple of months and he is speaking so clearly. We also recently signed Eli up for AWANA's thru the church. He has been to 2 classes and just loves it! Coming home from his first meeting we were in the truck and he tells me; Mama doesn't go to Awana's, AJ doesn't go to Awana's, Dada doesn't go to Awana's, Uncle Gino doesn't go to Awana's, and Sissy doesn't go to Awana's. Eli goes to Awana's it was the cutest thing. Every week they have to memorize a bible verse for the next class and Eli had no problem what so ever doing this. He is so excited that he has something that is just his to enjoy! I just can't believe how big he has gotten and how much of a little man he is becoming.
