Nine months old

Elijah is nine months old today (the 4th). I can hardly believe it. It seems like just yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital. He has grown so much in that time and he has become such a fun little boy.

He is crawling all over the place now and he loves to "give fives." He can turn the light switch off and on and he loves to wave at anybody and everybody. He enjoys playing peek-a-boo and screaming while he's eating. He is starting to walk, assisted by the couch or bed, and is confident that he can do anything. He seems very determined and he's always thinking (that, he gets from his daddy!) He loves people and he will go to anyone. He enjoys a crowd and loves to show off.

He's everything I ever hoped for and so much more! We are so incredibly blessed.

Howdy

So, I am finally starting a blog. As my BFF Kim can attest, I have written in a journal since I was in fourth grade. This is just a much cooler version of a journal (that is constantly viewed by the world). I protested blogging for the longest time because I honestly swore that no one cared to hear about my uneventful life in West Texas. However, this will be a great way for all my family and friends to catch up on Elijah news.

I will just catch you up a bit on where I am in life at this point in time. My husband, Jeremy and I have been living in Abilene, Texas for the last four years. He is a pilot in the Air Force and I am a recruiter and Mary Kay consultant. He is a wonderful husband and I am so thankful I can call him mine. We were blessed with Elijah Lincoln on September 4 of last year. He has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never knew how much I could love someone. We are having so much fun learning how to be parents and we're hoping for more as soon as God decides it's time.

We are involved in our church and with the squadron on base. I love gardening, singing, bargain hunting, reading, walking, cooking, and playing with my little man. I am still the biggest OSU fan you will ever meet and am loyal to all things Oklahoman (except OU), conservative, and country.

I look forward to catching up with old friends and hope to keep you updated on all the latest Elijah happenings. God bless you!
