Happy First Birthday!

Eli had quite a full day celebrating turning one year old. The morning started verrrrrrrrrry early (4:30am!) - Eli must have wanted to make the most of every hour of his big day. Here is an overview of the day, in photos, of course.


Started off the morning opening a few presents


Grandma came to visit for the day


Went for a ride (indoors) in the new wagon.


Mommy and Grandma tamed Eli's wild hair - this is his serious pose


A fun surprise - Eli's cousins sent him a balloon bouquet! He was a little tentative about the balloons at first, but then liked to point to them and tell us about his balloons.


Out to lunch - Eli colored with an orange crayon and flirted with a little girl in the restaurant.


Taking an "official" birthday photo


Getting a little tired of playing photo shoot (this picture included just for the people who think Eli never has a fussy moment...thankfully he is overall a very even-tempered kiddo!)


Much happier after a rest, and enjoying his new water table (thanks Uncle A and Aunt T!)


Enjoying Concerts on the Square with Mommy and Daddy


Birthday cupcake - yum!


Birthdays are exhausting!
