2007 was a great year for Eli and our family! Although it was really Eli's second year of life, it was a year of firsts for him. Here is a list of some of his firsts in 2007...
  • First tooth (January 2007)
  • First steps (February 2007)
  • First time to color Easter Eggs
  • First ice cream cone
  • First official playgroup
  • First visit to Chuck E. Cheese
  • First Emergency Room visit
  • First State Fair corny dog

Here's a look back at Eli's life in 2007:

Christmas Morning

Eli got a kitchen and a rocking horse for Christmas and he loves both!! Since Christmas, Eli wakes up every morning, looks at me and whispers "chen-nay" (that's Eli's way of saying "kitchen'). Then, he runs into the living room and plays with his kitchen.

Getting Ready for Santa!

Since we do not have a traditional fireplace, we have a magic key for Santa. Eli hung the key on the door before he went to bed on Christmas Eve.
We also set out some milk and cookies for Santa....if you know Eli well, you know the rest of the story!



Christmas Eve

On Chirstmas Eve, Ga-Ga (Laura's Dad) and Lisa (Laura's Sister) and her family (John, Justin, John-John, Jessica, Jack) came over to our house.

Sleep-over

Jessie (Eli's Cousin) spent the night with us recently. We had so much fun and can't wait to have another sleep over! : )



Jessie loves to wash Eli's hair and Eli was a good sport!
