Elijah Daniel
http://babyporta.blogspot.com/
Elijah was diagnosed in-utero with a series of heart defects. Now, almost three years after that original diagnosis, he has soared through two open heart surgeries and many other surgeries and hospitalizations. We have been on the ride of a lifetime with this special little boy. Our journey has taught us things about life, love and God that we never imagined we would or could comprehend. We feel so fortunate that God chose us to care for Elijah, and we feel very privileged and happy to walk this road together.

Pee-pop!
I have had a "pee-pop" (Elijah's word for "lollipop") sitting on the bathroom counter for a week now. He adores pee-pops, so I figured I could use them as a tool in my game of potty bribery. (Ha! That makes "pee-pop" a very appropriate "word!") Elija...
Kickus is near!
I have some pics of Elijah baring his cute little bottom (why do I just want to pinch that cute bum every time I see it?), but I don't have the energy to get them off my camera right now. Plus, someday Elijah may not appreciate his bum being on the i...
