Playin' with his bucket... by far his favorite toy!
Playin' with his bucket... by far his favorite toy! So busy!
Our boy is 5-Months!
Where do I begin with this guy....? Well, he is just amazing! Being a mom is the greatest joy I could have ever imagined. I am certain that Nick would say the same about being Eli's Father.
Of course, being his parents, we think he is perfection. The guy has more personality that most adults I know... he has a smile that melts my heart every. single. time.
At the age of 5-Months he can hold a conversation (seriously!). He loves to play with his silly little bucket and all the shapes that go in it. He loves to read, talk on the phone, drool, go for walks, Web-Cam, sing, etc., etc., etc.
I could stare at him for hours. I find myself amazed and simply blown away at such a gift. It is hard not to have faith in something greater than us... when you are witness to such a miracle.
