One year ago today I was in labor, at home, trying to wait as long as possible to go to the hospital. I also didn't want to miss Grey's Anatomy. One year ago I did not know what Eli looked like or sounded like or how much I would love him and how all consuming that love would be. Now I know.
May I present to you Elijah- a year in pictures (severely condensed)
At first he looked like this, not smooshed at all because i pushed him out like a champ.
At 4 days old it was already clear that he was the best looking baby in town
He loved daddy, a lot. 
Sometimes he liked to play with my bra. 
Sometimes he went a little cross eyed. 
He started wearing cloth diapers and got vaccines
He fell in love with a stuffed monkey named Dangles.
We celebrated our first mother's day. Eli wore a funny hat.
He found his feet and decided they were excellent toys.
He learned about playgrounds and swings and fun in general.
He went to a Pirates game and didn't get too upset when they lost
He rooted for the Steelers and didn't get too upset when they lost either.
He dressed up like a monkey
He took a lot of naps with daddy, less with mommy.
He met Santa and was not entirely pleased about it.
He learned to crawl and cruise and play and brush ladies hair.
He got heartbreakingly adorable.
