Elijah David Patrick's 1st Birthday!


One year statistics: 24 lbs 12 oz, 31.5 inches
He did it! Elijah reached the one year mark and had a wonderful birthday celebration. Pops, Gigi, and MawMaw made the trip all the way to China to celebrate wtih us which was so very special.

The lion cake! It was so much fun to decorate!

Elijah is just about ready to dig in!

His first taste of cake!He seemed to enjoy the cake- especially being allowed to make a mess of it!

Elijah just loves balls of any shape and size, and he especially loved this little safari ball that Gigi brought to go with his birthday decorations. Isn't he just so cute?

Elijah's most special birthday present was the train engine that Gigi and Pops chose just for him. He loved riding the little train around, sqeaking the horn, and trying to figure out how to open the seat to put his treasures inside.



Elijah just loved the Pop-Onz blocks that MawMaw picked out for him. He built all sorts of fun and zany creations!

It always seems to be the most inexpensive and non-elaborate things that kids just love. For Elijah it turned out to be the orange birthday balloon. He played with it non-stop until he went to bed and looked for it first thing the next morning. We even tied a ribbon to it so he could bang it around. He just loved it!
