More on Elijah...

I don't mean to write about my little man so much, but he's at the age where he's growing by leaps and bounds so there's way more to talk about regarding him than with Nathan. :) I just had to share these two cute things...

We call Sean's dad, "Pawpaw Link." We were trying to teach it to Elijah tonight, and he can say Pawpaw since that's what we call my dad. So, he'd say "Pawpaw" and then stick his tongue out. We soon realized he was thinking "Pawpaw LICK!" That cracked me up!!! He is so cute...I love this age!

Duck, Duck - Goose! has become a favorite game around here. Elijah LOVES it! He's so cute when he says it, though. It comes out more like, "Duck, Duck - DEUCE!" So very cute.

Unfortunately, our sweet guy has to have his adenoids and tonsils removed on Monday (8/11). Since birth, Elijah has snored and breathed quite noisily through his mouth; he also drools a lot. Our pediatrician recommended that we see an ENT after realizing that he wasn't outgrowing any of this. We saw one a few weeks ago, and he said that Elijah's adenoids were so swollen that he could see them through his nose. It was given that they had to come out. His tonsils are a little large too, but the ENT isn't sure that he can get the adenoids out around them. So, it looks like his tonsils will have to come out as well. We'll find out on Friday what time his surgery is scheduled - should be before noon. They will more than likely keep him overnight to make sure he is staying hydrated as it is often difficult to make them drink at this age. Pray for a peaceful night and that everything goes smoothly! We'll keep you posted.
