Two Peas in a Pod

The older Elijah gets and the more his personality develops, the more I realize, he is just like his Daddy!

I never fully realized this until this weekend when I had a chance to watch him interact with more family than usual.  I always considered him to be shy, but he can fool you.  Give him an audience, and he is sure to entertain....doing the same silly thing over and over again just to make you laugh or cheer for him.  He certainly doesn't get this from me.

Being silly before bedtime

It used to bother me that I was the one who had to be the disciplinarian and put structure to Elijah's day.  It seemed like when Daddy came home from work, it was all fun & games.  And I've come to accept, that's ok...because he looks up to his Daddy.  He asks for Dada as soon as he wakes up.  He loves to watch Daddy get ready for work ( he even pretends to put on deodorant just like him).

Looking out the window, waiting for Daddy to get home from work!

And there is no one else I'd rather him grow up to be like than his Daddy!
