Eliott turns two!

This precious boy turns two today. I looked at his sweet face as I sang him a bedtime song the other night and it brought me right back to the years we spent praying for him. We didn't know that it would be him at the time, but we prayed that God would send Logan a sibling. The Lord has blessed us times a million.

Some things we are loving about Eliott at two years old:
He is talking a lot these days. He is saying a lot of 3-4 word phrases. He is great about knowing when it is appropriate to say "please" and "thank you", but will also say things like "go away" and "not like it" when he is annoyed with something.

He is definitely the clown of the family. He does goofy things just to make you laugh, and is very proud of himself when he accomplishes that. He will even look at you after doing something goofy (or sometimes something he knows is bad) and ask.... "funnnnnyyyyy??"

He loves his brother and they have the sweetest relationship ever. He looks up to, and attempts to copy just about everything Logan does. They do get in arguments/ fights from time to time. Right now, if they are in an argument it is usually because Eli has gotten into something that Logan has created and doesn't want ruined.

When I scoop him up to hug him, or run my hands through his hair, or rub his back he says, "love you mom" completely voluntarily and it always makes him seem older than he is.

He loves music, and will learn anything through song/ memorization, but still has no desire to sit and learn things like his letters or numbers in any traditional way. He is a more on the go type of boy, and would rather be running or climbing than sitting for more than a minute or two at a time.

We have been so blessed to love and guide him as he grows, and can't wait to watch him step into the role of big brother this year!
