eli turns 2!

february 21st was eli's 2nd birthday. eli is just like his older brother and has become enamored with scooby scooby doo- so his birthday party was scooby doo themed. i don't think you can tell by the picture how cute the chair we got him is. they had these awesome 60 year old vintage chairs at downeast home. we got ezra a mini rocking chair for his 2nd birthday and the kids always fight over who can sit in it, so we got him a chair. eli got lots of fun presents...toys, a hand painted piggy bank with money in it for disneyland, cherry hill passes, shoes a more! i can't believe this boy is already 2. he is such a fun and (mostly) sweet boy and we love him. it seems like he has always been with our family.

the ins and outs of life with boys...
