Lil Ariza Monster

I seriously can not believe that Elijah is already 11 months old. I don’t even know where the past year has gone. It has been one of the most challenging and amazing years of my life. Seeing Elijah grow into a little boy is a huge blessing. I’ve already started planning his first birthday party and I’m so excited.

We decided last minute that we needed a family getaway. So we packed up the car and headed up to Atlanta, GA. We’ve wanted to go to the Georgia Aquarium for a while now. It was amazing. Elijah really enjoyed the people watching the most though. He doesn’t quite get aquariums yet. But Daniel and I really enjoyed it. We stayed at a great hotel right downtown that had an awesome view of the city. It rained quite a bit while we were there but it didn’t dampen our trip. We still had a blast.

We’ve got a walker. He’s doing great at it. Still slow but he is definitely getting faster. He loves it and pretty much only crawls when he wants to get somewhere quickly. He still can’t stand up with out the help of something.

In other news. Elijah is teething pretty bad. This is pretty much what he looks like most of the time.

Elijah has decided that he wants to walk now. He has started taking some steps. He can get about 4-5 in and then he tumbles. Won’t be long now till he is walking all around. Exciting and busy times here. Pictures to come!
