Happy 3rd Birthday Elijah!!

I can't hardly believe it "my Elijah", but today you are three!

 I still amazes me that you were once this size. Born weighing 8lbs 11oz you were a big boy and you had the perfect little bankers hairstyle :)

 And your big brothers loved you from the moment they saw you!

Karlena was also so excited to meet you - you held a very special place in her heart!

Look at those cheeks!!

And you had the funniest faces.

As you grew your personality began to shine....and on rare occasions you had just the tiniest bit of sass in you! ;)

 You make us smile at your cuteness all the time. And as you have learned to talk and express yourself we are so impressed with all you know about the world around you.

You love spending time with your daddy....and always want to be doing what he is doing.

And sometimes you play so hard that you fall asleep in just about any place and any position.

Hearing you say your prayers melts my heart - every time.

Elijah, I don't have enough time or words to express just how much better our lives are with you in it.

Your dad and I hope that you have a wonderful third birthday. We love you so much and can't wait to see what the next year will bring for you!
