Elijah's 1st birthday! *Lots of pictures ahead!*

We celebrated Elijah's first birthday on the 8th! I can't believe how fast time is flying! It seems like just yesterday, that little 8lb. 6oz. baby made us a family of four. :D He had his 1 year check up the day after his birthday and he is just over 28in. tall and is weighing in at 19.2lbs. He isn't walking yet but he is standing on his own and cruises the furniture.

We had a house full for Elijah's party! We had a great time but we missed those of you who couldn't be here with us!! And now, the pictures!!! There are a ton so bear with me. :D These were taken with three different cameras. :D

Outfit #2 for the cake


The cakes... I was pretty proud of Eli's smash cake. The big cake, I was decorating really late at night and it didn't turn out quite like I wanted.












All that hard work, gone in just a few minutes

A bath in the laundry room sink


Pinata and candy time!
