Awwwww those pictures are so cute!! I can't believe he's 2! That means Will is almost 2 and I don't think I'm ready for that. He's supposed to be my baby! And I can relate - Will's a HORRIBLE sleeper. Hopefully he'll grow out of it ;)
Wow 2 already!? Such a handsome little guy. Love the pictures - and the cool black chair he's sitting on ;-) Here's hoping that being two will help him sleep better for ya!
So precious! Happy Birthday Eli!
What a cute post. Happy Birthday Eli. Love the pictures and getting to know Eli better.
Great photos of him, so adorable. Yep, his eyes are stunning. You are so fantastic at recording what your kids are like at each stage.
How is he with a shorter nap? Does that help the night time issues? Although, his nap time is probably "hallelujah I can get something done" time for you. Gah, hope he grows out of the sleep issues soon.
His eyes really are crazy blue. Shocking. He is such a cute kid. I love watching him be a little tyke.
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday to Eli! Can't wait to see you guys.
I can't believe he's 3 already! Happy Birthday Eli! Love those photos!
He is such a cute boy! He sounds a lot like my oldest! Thank goodness they're cute. Happy Birthday Eli!
