sweetness

This is my current favorite photo in the world. Elijah is so cute to us! We had a very good day with him today - he seemed happy, and tried hard to 'play' when we gave him toys to touch (cerebral palsy makes learning motor skills very difficult - it is a lot of work for him even to move his arm or hand). To make our day even better, he didn't throw up and also ate a small amount of mashed banana (we're working on teaching him to eat semi-solids).

This evening, Todd gently tossed him in the air for about ten minutes, and it was really cool to see Elijah's expressions. We laughed so much. Elijah is a true gift, and how thankful we are when we have little windows of 'fun' like today with him.
"Mr. Serious" trying to figure out what he's looking at. We think we do see some progress with his vision!

Cute to you?!? Anybody looking at him would say what a cutie he is! Such beautiful eyes and hair. Makes me want to ruffle it.

He is such a precious gift from God. May God continue to bless you as you serve Him.
