(My talented brother, Jesse, took these photos of Elijah. I love them. They're from a few weeks ago, BEFORE Elijah's haircut.)Things are starting to get into a routine here.
Todd goes to work early, then Elijah and I have the day together. Usually we manage to include a walk (Elijah in his 'kidcart') to the grocery store, the thrift store, or one of the little shops downtown. This is primarily for my entertainment and sanity, but Elijah loves getting outside. In fact, he is a stinker sometimes, and cries when we walk into a store, then stops when he's back outside. Elijah's favorite part of our outings is the sunshine and going over all the bumps in the sidewalk. My favorite part is seeing the little happy look on his face!
We also have therapy and other Elijah-related visits several times a week. We are so blessed to live within walking distance of the hospital. Another blessing is that the physical therapist here (who has her own practice) can do "hippo therapy" with Elijah (therapy using horses) when he turns two! It's amazing that such a small town would have that type of therapy available.
Thank you, Lord!
Elijah's finally settled into a somewhat regular naptime of one hour in the afternoon. I'm usually SO ready for a little break!
When Todd comes home, Elijah and I are really happy to see him! We miss him during the day!

Elijah's latest fun thing is to explore stuff with his mouth. He can't use his own hands to bring things to his face, so we have to help him do that, but it's so cute to see him interested and enjoying a toy or a taste. Today he liked chewing on a piece of dried mango.

The pictures of Elijah are just beautiful! You have got one handsome little guy on your hands.
Glad to hear that you guys are able to get out and that the Lord has been so good in providing such great care for you there.
