Pictures from December and Elijah "Hobbies"

On Dave's 32nd birthday.  Elijah is showing how his mood can change within seconds.

Happy birthday, Daddy!

The boys had a Christmas program at daycare.  It was cute.  In the second picture, can you find both boys?

 

The toddlers were angels and the infants were sheep.

 Our angel and sheep.

This guy is getting big - too fast.

Elijah has a lot of "hobbies".  One hobby includes looking for birds out of the window, like an older person (or Elijah's dad).  In the first video, he pulled up a chair to the window to look for birds.  Dave pointed out a blue jay and Elijah was happy.



Another hobby includes watching football.  He gets so excited for football and will stop playing with toys to watch football if we turn on the TV.  Common phrases include "Oh no!", "Purple team" (Vikings), "fall down", "pushing" (tackling), "not nice" (referring to the tackling and pushing) and and colors of the teams (e.g. in this video the Vikings are playing the Packers so he refers to the Packers as the "Green team").



I think it's safe to say that Elijah takes after his dad's hobbies - watching football and looking for birds...
