Eli Arrives in Shreveport

By -
Elijah is watching "Finding Nemo" as he fights sleep, lying in his pack-n-play in Shreveport, LA. The wind and rain are fierce outside, but no one seems to notice. I thought I'd take some time and get more footage of our adorable pal on the blog. Enjoy.

3. Two Kids Laughing: Our good friends--and heroes to Elijah--Tony and Cherry Cooper are visiting this week from Los Angeles, CA. Tony is Melissa's cousin, and he raised some money recently for Elijah by taking part in a community fundraiser. He brought his son Ayden to meet Elijah, and the results were hilarious.

16 Steps To Victory

Dad reporting in, late at night (11:27 p.m.): Not a creature was stirring, until from the baby monitor there arose such a clatter, Elijah sitting up in his crib talking to himself at the top of his lungs. Seriously, a conversation complete with questions, answers, exclamations and thoughtful responses (i.e. "Hmm! Yeah!")
