5 years ago today I became a mom for the second time. Elliot Towner was born.
By far the easiest labor and delivery of all, even though he was the biggest of all! I was induced on his due date, and about 4 hours later he was born. He was a big boy!!
And he turned out to be such a good baby. I was a little nervous because Grace had been a fussy baby, and they were only 21 months apart. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. Elliot was so calm and happy. Such a blessing.
Grace instantly fell in love and turned into a little mommy to her baby brother. He loved his pacifier from day 1...3 years down the road I wasn't so grateful for it, but he just loved it so much!
He soon earned the nickname "Mr. Chubbsie", and it stuck. We still call him that today, even though he is far from chubby now!
Sweet baby boy...where has the time gone? We love you SO MUCH!
Happy Birthday, Elliot!

Happy Birthday Elliot!
Happy (late) birthday Elliot! we miss you!
Elliot, sorry I'm so late but I hope your birthday was great. I'm sad I am missing out on you getting so old. Love you!
I missed this! I am sorry ;-( I really am.
Elliot!
You are such a special nephew. I love that you inspect your surroundings and learn what is around you so well. You are smart and you know it- you have told me a couple times.
You have the sweetest, most-endearing personality and I LOVED that the first time I picked you up and swung you around (Thanksgiving 2007) you LOVED it and asked for a repeat... like your mom... 14 minutes later, I was not so grateful, but I have finally recovered and that. Was pretty cool.
You will have an amazing 5th year. I am so happy we are related. You are a great kiddo.
PS- I totally would have used your name if you did not already have it- Elliot is one of my favorite names. EVER.
Happy Birthday my first nephew! You're such a special boy, and I love you so much! Aunt Leslie
