We celebrated with a big party last weekend complete with an awesome monkey cake (in honor of my very best friend, Monkey), and lots and lots of balloons. We had about 20 friends come and celebrate with us, including my Nana from California and my Gramma, Papa Paul, and Uncle Matt from Illinois. I was so excited to see everyone and very thankful for all the thoughtful gifts I received.
My friend, Kim, photographed the party for us. You can see some of her pictures on her blog (www.lucechatter.blogspot.com). She also took pictures of me on my actual birthday as well. We'll be sharing those soon! Mom and Dad were thrilled with how they turned out! We all agree that it's time that Kim start her own photography business. She's very talented!
Nana stayed throughout the week to help watch me while Daddy wrapped up his semester and Mommy went to work. As always, she was very helpful and we miss her already!
Thanks to everyone for making my birthday so special. I'm a lucky little guy!
Love,
Elijah

Glad mom and dad liked the pictures, Eli. You know I loved taking them! :) Can't wait to see you take steps on your own! I told your mom the other day I even dreamed about it!
