Mayne family

Monday March 31 was Eli’s second birthday! However, due to scheduling conflicts, we held his party on Sunday the 30th. We had Paul’s family and my aunt, uncle and cousins over for cake and ice cream. It was a fun afternoon. Eli got many wonderful presents. Go Diego Go toys, sand toys for the sand box, a leap frog alphabet toy, a fisher price 4 wheeler for him to drive this summer,  some cars, marbles for a marble game we have, and a football. He didn’t fully understand what was going on, but Jackson and our niece Maddy helped him out. When we were all singing to him, he had the biggest grin on his face because he realized he was the center of attention. He didn’t eat any of his birthday cake, just ate as much ice cream as he could. What a sweetheart! I seriously can’t believe my baby is 2!

Yesterday I took Eli to his 2 year check up. He is 37 inches tall and weighs 30 pounds. That puts him in the 90% for height and 70% for weight. He is one healthy boy! He is going to be taller than his older brother but oh well that happens. Eli has blossomed the past 3 weeks. 3 weeks ago he said about 3 words, and then all of a sudden he took off. He now says over 40 words and adds new words every day. He has gained some independence, which makes me sad, I can’t carry him anymore! He interacts with his brother more and has just turned into such a little boy! I am excited for this phase in life. I love watching personalities blossom and for children to figure out who they are. 

I still can’t believe my baby is 2!!

Happy Birthday Eli!!!
