Oh my goodness. My friend Cary in Colorado is one of Eli's honorary "aunts". She takes this job very seriously and does what she can to spoil her "nephew". Thursday afternoon we arrived home to find a big box on our front porch. I thought it was something I'd ordered for Tim but when I went on the porch to retrieve it, I discovered a big rocking horse. The slip said "Happy #1 Eli, Love Aunt C". Eli's first 1st birthday present. =) We didn't tell him about it but rather Tim put it together last night after Eli went to bed - it felt like Christmas Eve. We were so excited to see Eli's face this morning and just see if he even noticed it in the room.
Notice it? He most definitely did!! He walked right over to it, was checking it out and was then ready to hop on. Tim put him on the horse (horse doesn't have a name yet, any suggestions?!) and Eli knew exactly what to do. He started bobbing and rocking on it. It was so cute and Eli was so happy. He's not quite big enough to touch the stirrups but he can definitely hold the handles and rock on it with us close by.
Such a cool birthday present. It's the only way Eli was ever going to get a pony. So now, pony rides for everyone at Eli's house!!

Giddy up!
