Elijah Reed from momma

Dear Elijah, I started writing this earlier and was almost done when you and sissy needed me. So I put the phone down, I was blogging from it, and one of you came and deleted it all. So I'll start over.
You turned 2 today and it's hard to believe it's been 2 years! The days are long and the years are short. You came into this world a fussy little man. I am glad that you finally decided to be happy in life. Now you are full of joy and energy. There isn't a day I don't fall more in love with you. You are growing so fast and learning so much. I love hearing all your new words. You sometimes get frustrated when I can't understand you. You cock your head to the side and I'm sure you're blaming me for not knowing. 
You currently love choochoo trains. This started over the summer when your aunt Julie took you to the train museum in Sacramento. I didn't think you'd enjoy it so much but you fell in love. You also love Mickey Mouse clubhouse. And at the end when they play the "hotdog" song you make whoever is with you dance. Your Grammy danced with you about every 23 minutes this summer. Even if she was in another room you'd run to find her so she could dance with you. One of your favorite places to go right now is Nana's House. You have a lot of people who love you!
You are a great big brother. I honestly didn't think I could love 2 babies because I loved you so much. But when Madelynn came, my heart grew. You and sissy are best friends. I love watching you play together. You two laugh at each other and love each other so much. You love to hold her. Elijah, I'm not even sure I can begin to tell you the joy you've brought into my life. I love you so much. I know I can't keep you little forever but every once in a while I wish I could. I know there will come a day where you don't want me to hold you and I'll miss it. I love how much you need your momma right now. 
I am doing my best to take the best care of you. I want the best for you. I'd give you the world and it still wouldn't be enough. I love you. Thank you for making me smile everyday. I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as you're living my baby you'll be.

So sweet! Elijah and You will treasure these words through the years. I LOVE the part where you said "Grammy danced the hot dog dance every 23 minutes all summer!" Too perfect. It gave me so much joy as well. Can't wait to see you all.
