This is Elijah’s latest boo boo that required a call from daycare.  Apparently a “friend” whose fingernails were too long got a hold of Elijah’s neck.  I honestly have no idea how that went unnoticed, but I’m counting down the days that he’s still at that center, so I’m trying to keep a cool head about it.

Anyways, while I’m mentioning boo boos, it’s worth mentioning that Elijah now lets me kiss his boo boos to make them better.  Sometimes he’ll come over to me with a pitiful look on his face and hold up a finger (or foot) to me so that I can kiss it.  I’m never sure if he actually hurt it or not, but he’s a happy camper once I kiss it.  When he’s actually hurt, sometimes I can curb the crying by asking him if he would like me to kiss it to make it better.  More often than not, he’ll stop crying so that he can make his way over for his kisses.

It’s so stinking cute.  I can’t remember if I say it here a lot or not (I probably don’t since I’m a slacker), but when I talk to people about Elijah, I always mention that I LOVE this age.  (I’ve said that about every age.)  It’s just so much fun watching him grow and learn.  He’s such a smarty pants!

Elijah is currently OBSESSED with our iPhones.  He’s really good at using them and can find his favorite apps and start them up all by himself.  It’s pretty crazy how fast kids catch on with technology these days.

Anyways, he’s always looking for our phones, and if we have to take it away, it’s Meltdown City up in our house.  But look how cute he is when he’s quietly entertaining himself (unless it’s the Fart app he’s playing with….):

He’s playing Doodle Jump in that last one.  I wish I was kidding when I say that he thought me how to change around the theme on that game.  I thought there was only one version, but lo and behold, there’s a bunch.

This right here accounts for about…ohhh…1/5th of Elijah’s Hot Wheels collection.  Which, by the way, the entire collection is due to a certain GiGi.  Not that I mind; I’m just saying.  I actually had to go out and buy him a bigger carrying case the other day since his little one was stuffed to the point where we couldn’t close it anymore.

His new case looks like luggage (with the handle that lowers and raises!), so he’s a happy camper when he loads up all his cars and then pulls his carrying case all over the house.  It’s really cute.

Also, those suckers can keep him entertained for quite a while.  So, yay Hot Wheels!

First thing first, please ignore the dusty entertainment center littered with Mollie hairs.  Gross.

Elijah is all kinds of into anything with wheels.  He has been for a while now actually.  He got a ton of Hot Wheels for Christmas (different post coming soon), and since he got those, he’s started lining them up like this.  (And yes, I realize there isn’t even one Hot Wheels in this picture.)  Sometimes it’s a straight line, sometimes he puts them in perfect rows, and sometimes he just hides them between the couch cushions.

This is one of Elijah’s favorite books right now.  It was a gift from his daycare teacher after she rented it from the library for his class and all the kids loved it.  It’s definitely one of those books that when you first glance it, it looks like the type of book that kids wouldn’t care about.  I’m still not sure why he likes it so much, but he definitely does!

Elijah is rocking these new kicks today.  They caught my eye in Target, and I couldn’t resist them.  Plus, they were on clearance for like 14 bucks!  Yay for not having to buy more $40 Stride Rite shoes!

I’ve been a really bad blogger lately.  My bad, you guys.  I’m going to try really hard to be better.  I’m getting settled into my new job, and I LOVE IT so far.  Elijah will be settling into a new daycare situation next month, so we’re working through all the details on that right now as well.  In short, life is busy.

Anyways, I hope you guys are doing well, and hopefully I’ll be back and blogging like normal soon!!!

Yesterday Dave and I celebrated 4 years of marriage!  We kept it low key by blowing our diets with wine and cookies.  We’re doing a fancy dinner on Saturday night, so I’m looking forward to that too.

Here’s to many more!!

Is this our kid or what?!? He found the Fart App (that I did not download, thankyouverymuch) all by himself!
