There has been so much going on this past year I feel like I have not been keeping up (on track) of Elijah's updates. Well it is March again. Elijah will be 2 in about 5 days!!! Oh my how time has flown this year. I suppose I should summarize this past year for you all just in case you don't really feel like reading back through all the rest of it. :)
Elijah has become a walking, talking, running, screaming machine. After many doctors appointments trying to get him to talk to his doctor and not be scared, I was finally successful at the last appointment he had. The doctor was really impressed by how much he can talk and say and how much he knows. Doctor Holter said not many toddlers his age can say or do that much. Even though we had a battle with Elijah's weight throughout the year, he is finally back up into the 25%! Now on most days he could probably eat an entire refridgerator full of fruits, crackers, juice, chicken, rice and fries. At any given moment you can ask him what he wants to eat and most often he will say "fries chicken" as that is his favorite meal. Within the past two weeks, with the help of both grandma's, I have been successful in getting off the bottle of milk in the mornings and evenings and off his pacifier. Now he seems to sleep longer at nap time and in the mornings. This year I have decided to do the potty training bit and with it being summer soon, maybe that will help alot. :) He loves to sing into the mic on our karoke machine, dance if there is some nice music on that he likes and even sing along with Fan and I. His favorite shows on TV are Handy Manny, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Spongebob Squarepants, and sometimes Imagination Movers. His favorite movies are Wall-E and Disney's Cars. He just recently started into the pretend stage where he is actually playing by himself more. He is a ball of energy all day. He wakes up, lazies around for a bit and then off he goes, stops to eat (or as we say re-fuel) and then he's off again. When its time for a nap there is a bit of fuss but then he can sleep for about 2-3 hours maybe more. Loves to give kisses and hugs, will share his food but not his toys. We are working on that part.
As for Fan and I, well Fan got promoted to Batchman/Leadman at Dolese Brothers in Shawnee. He is boss to the drivers. Although this horrible weather this year has put a damper on us and his work, we keep hoping it will pick up soon. Me, well, I got another job. I am working back in Oklahoma City again, but I have more to do and it is more interesting. I am the office manager at a machining company. In October, I found out I was pregnant again, but about a week later I went to the ER and had miscarried. We are going to wait another year or two. We are doing good as for anything else. Before we do have another baby I would love to move into a bigger house as it seems Elijah's toy have only grown this year and we are running out of room.
Many Blessings.
Fan, Sara and Elijah
