Today I want to remember my sweet baby boy, Micah Thomas.
Born three years ago today at 1:33pm, 6 lb. 13oz. 19in long.
I can't believe it has been three years since I held you in my arms. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Sometimes in joy knowing you are with my Heavenly Father. Sometimes with a sad heart because I will not get to see you grow up. As I hold your little brother I wonder who you would be. Would you be a cuddler, love cars, trains, and planes? Would you love to play ball and run?
I love you Micah and always will. You hold a part of my heart. I am so thankful for the opportunity I was given to carry you beneath my heart and feel you move within me. For being able to hold you for a short time.
Thank you Lord for giving me the hope and reassurance that I will hold my baby again in Your Kingdom.
Happy Birthday Angel!

Two Year Fun
Things Eli is doing at two years.
-As we drive along Eli points out things like, motorcycles, big trucks, tractors, buses, trains, and airplanes.
A conversation we might have:
E- "Mama a tractor"
M-"Yes, Eli, I see the tractor"
E- "Another tractor mama, another"
M-"You want to see another tractor?"
E- "Yes"
then when we see one
E-"Another tractor, another!"
We have this conversation with all of the above things. We live by an airport so planes are often seen and there is lots of construction so tractors are all over the place.
-When we exit from the highway Eli says buy buy to all the cars. Also when we go over a train track and there is no train, I hear "Trains go buy buy" or "Trains night-night"
-Eli can recognize peoples cars. He saw Amanda pull into the zoo across the parking lot and started saying "Jane's car, Jane's car!" He also knows his Aunt Kelsey's, mimi's, daddy's, and papa's cars.
-Eli lets you know if it's sunny or windy.
- Eli knows some colors some days. Blue is his favorite right now.
-Eli says "good job" when he does something he knows is right or when someone else does something he likes or wants them to
-When people laugh Eli says "funny"
-Eli says "No mama stop" when I do something he does not like. I hear this a lot when I hold daddy's hand.
-When someone coughs he asks if they are ok? (we asked him this when he had his bad cough). He also will say "Eli ok" or "I ok" when he falls down even if we do not ask him.
-Eli lines up all his cars, trucks, and trains then drives them to a new spot.
-He jumps on both feet. Eli likes to jump off the curb while holding your hand and then jumps for the next few steps.
-Eli wants to know where "it" went. "Where the airplane go?" "Where the train go?" and so on.
-He is saying doggy instead of wolf-wolf more often. and choo-choo train not just choo-choo.
-Eli is wanting to be a big boy and will say "Eli get it mama"
-When asked to pick up he sings the "clean up" song. Eli helps pick up but if I'm not fast he will dump everything out again as soon as he finishes cleaning.
That is all I have for now......
Eli had his two year well child check on December 1st. They had him put on a gown so he would stay warm while waiting for the doctor.
Stats:
28 lb 51%
34 in 47%
The doctor said he is projected to be 5 ft 8 going by his height now, but she thinks he will be a bit taller due to daddy's height.

I had lots of questions about milk, teeth, his cough, paci, and more.
Eli gets to go to 2% milk, he will need to get his teeth cleaned in late summer, he will have the cough on and off the rest of the winter, he needs to lose the paci (he only gets one at night and naps but it is time to give that up), and he is ready to start potty training when ever I am ready.
With Christmas coming and Eli sleeping other places than his bed we decided to wait until after the holidays to work on the paci and potty training.
Choo-Choo Birthday
Eli had his second birthday party on November 20th! Eli is very into trains right now so we had a train theme. It was a wonderful day and most of the party was outside.

Eli wanted to hold Eloise. He was so excited about "Jane's Baby"
Eli has has had a cough for awhile now. But on the 13th it got really bad so we took him to a Cook Childern's clinic. The doctor found that he had Bronchiolitis. He has been using a nebulizer once or twice a day since. Our pediatrician says he will have the cough on and off all winter, so sad.

Here is Benjamin taking the ball
The fight for the ball, Eli, Bryce, and Benjamin
And Bryce won!
Eli finally got control of the ball and did not want to give it up.
I took Eli to the zoo the week of Thanksgiving to ride the train. He told me, "mama sit here" and patted the set. He then climbed on the set across from me. He would not sit with me, my baby is growing up!
