Eli Turns One (Again)!!!!

Elijah Brandon,  you are one!  You have grown into such a happy little guy.  You are always smiling!  You certainly know the meaning of being happy!
What kinds of things are you impressing us with these days?
-You are in a size four diaper
-You started whole milk about a week ago and you love it!  In fact, you have pretty much turned your nose away from all of the other things you were eating because you love it so much.  I have been having to leave you in your high chair longer than usual to get you to eat your food.
-You still love Cheerios and pasta
-Your favorite baby foods are squash, sweet potato, applesauce and apples/cherries.
-You still turn your face away (literally) from any kind of big people food we try to give you-including your birthday cake and ice cream.
-Speaking of turning away-this is what you do....you lift you head up, turn it to the right, shut your eyes and put your right hand up to say no.  Then you shake your head back and forth-it is hilarious.  And it is EVERY TIME!!
-You finally started to crawl correctly.  You have army crawled for about two months now, but just last week, you got up on your knees and started crawling.  You realized how fast you can move like that, so you are on the move now.
-Totally random but, your fingernails grow like weeds.
-You wear mostly twelve months clothes, but can still fit into some nine months pants.
-You weigh around 21 pounds and you are 27 inches long.  You are going to be short and stocky I think.  You are growing so well for a "sick" child though!
-You were taken off of your antibiotic at your last urology appointment-you have been on an antibiotic since you were born, so I am very excited for your immune system to catch up now.
-You wear a size two shoes-almost size three.  However, your feet are almost too fat to wear size two tennis shoes!
-You love going to your baby-sitters house.  She is like your third grandma :)
-You love to look at books.  Your favorite ones are any ones that have cars/trucks in them and you love a Winnie the Pooh book that we received as a gift when Emma was a baby!
-You are starting to transfer over to a sippy cup and you seem to like it.
-You love to have your teeth brushed.
-You have "six" teeth.  I quote six because you have your bottom two, and on the top you have the middle side ones coming in before your middle ones.  The middle side left one is really coming through and it is hilarious-you look like a snaggle-toothed man :) 
-You actually smile when I come at your with your medicine.  You take half'an aspirin/once a day and 1.5ml/twice a day right now.
-You love all your toys.  You got a lot of great ones for your birthday.
-You love your green blanket with the monkey on it that I bought for you when you were still in the hospital.  I bought it at Meijer on an impulse buy-the best one I have made! :)
-You love to watch your sisters.  They love to show off for you too.  I think you all are going to be great friends.  They love you so.
-You have a great laugh.  I tickle your armpits and you give me a great belly laugh.
-You love to be hung upside down.  You are an adrenaline junkie just like Maddie is.
-You LOVE Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  When the theme song comes on you stop what you are doing and watch it.  You then pay attention to some of the show.  You also love The Disney Junior Channel.
I love you so much Elijah.  You have brought such joy to our family and now I know it is complete.  Thank you for choosing me to be your Mommy.  I will always be proud of my one and only son!
