Couch Climb

Trying so hard to climb up the couch, he  can almost get up on his own. Look at his stretched out leg and the other is on tip toes. Once he's a little bit taller, he be able to get up. Good thing he already knows how to get down safely. I'm more worried about him bouncing off or flying over the back and getting stuck between the couch and wall.

Box Time

I brought home a box from work. Elijah used it to climb up on the couch. He sat on it and fell off and bounced his head on the floor. That didn't make him cry, but he did whimper and look at me as if to say that I let him fall. Sorry, Mommy can't always be there to catch you, but I'll always be there for you.

Just Playin'

Wouldn't it be nice to sit surrounded by all your favorite toys and know that all you had to do was play? Elijah sure enjoys having no responsibilities. He doesn't even have to get those rings stacked in the correct order. He's still having fun!

Innocence

"I will maintain my innocence and never let go of it; my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live." ~Job 27:6

Operation Christmas Child

Our family headed out shopping to stuff our shoe box full of goodies for a little boy who lives somewhere else in the world. We don't know where our box will go, but we hope it brings joy to this unknown child. And we pray for him and his family that this gift will bless them and that they will hear and understand the gospel message of Jesus Christ.

Bonus picture: Elijah with his box last year when he could barley sit up while leaning on something.

Bubble Bath Fun

Elijah loves bath time...he loves bath letters...and really loves bubble baths!

In the Shelves

Scooted in and proud, Elijah soon won't fit in the shelves like this. But for now he enjoys looking through the clear back of the shelves and tapping on the sides. He did not like slouching in there because he got stuck and Mommy had to help him out of his little jam.
