Eli's First Christmas

Our baby boy is growing up, he is now 7 months old. We are having so much fun. He is talking and walking (running) in his walker. He is eating "real food" and loving it. Also cutting a couple of top teeth.
This Christmas was bittersweet. We were not able to be with our extended families in Arkansas and Missouri. Elijah's great grandfather, Eulis Grant Walker, passed away on Friday, December 23rd. Eli was able to meet him on our recent trip back to the states, so we are thankful to God for that!
The community here has wrapped their arms around us during this time of mourning! We are so grateful for all those who have opened their doors and hearts to us. It means so much.
Now for the fun part. Eli got two really cool Fisher Price Little People trucks. In our amazement, he played for a long time with them without getting bored. This is a daddy trait for sure. I think Eli enjoyed the wrapping paper too. He played with it for quite some time.
Overall, we laughed and cried a lot over the past few days. Thank you, Lord for our baby boy. He is truly the best present we could have received.
