Thanks Dad!

When Dustin and I got married I brought three dressers with me that my dad had refinished for me. One is completely mine, one is Eli's and the other one Dustin shares with me. In WV we bought Dustin a dresser at a second hand store, so Dustin would have one of his own. The dresser was nice and all but it was HEAVY and the drawers were tiny. So my Dad found this dresser at a estate sale and refinished it to match the two dressers that I already had. The dresser is really, really nice! Dustin very much enjoys having his own drawers to put his clothes in. THANKS DAD!!!!

Elijah at 21 months

Well the end of last month Elijah turned 21 months old. It is hard to believe that in just a few short months he will be two! Unfortunately Dustin and I both agree that he is already starting to enter the Terrible Twos though. His favorite word is "no" and he likes to say it all day everyday about everything. The only time he does say yes is when you ask him about "M's" (m&m's) and anything related to Spongebob. He has a fascination with clocks (wall clocks and watches) and will excitedly point them out wherever he sees them. He also knows 10 letters of the alphabet, and he loves to yell them out over and over again when he sees them. He almost always has one of Daddy's Astros hats on his head. He even takes his naps wearing them most days. He loves playing with his Mr. Potato head and our living room is always covered in all the little pieces from him. He has figured out how to lock the dead bolt on our garage door. And he even locked Dustin in the garage this last weekend. Overall, Elijah is a fun little guy that keeps us busy and very entertained. Everyday is a new adventure with him, and it is really fun to watch him change every day. This is Elijah's favorite way to watch Sesame Street, which is one of his favorite shows. I love Sesame Street because when it is on Eli is glued to the tv for a whole hour!
