Eliot is ONE!

It is so hard to believe that my little Eliot is one whole year old.  Time just seems to be going by at an increasingly fast pace, and it tugs at my mama-heart.  Maybe it is because he is the second child, but Eliot has done everything so much earlier compared to Merit.  I attribute this to a combination of a) me not being all over him all the time, and b) him wanting to keep up with his big brother.  As such, he has been dubbed my little wild child.  This, in combination with the fact that “Where the Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak is one of our favorite stories, made a Wild Things birthday party a natural theme choice.

It was such a fun day.  Happy birthday, little one. I love you!
