Elijah

It's been a while since I have posted anything so I decided to just do a bunch of slideshows. We've had a very busy and fun week. But the most exciting thing that happened this week was last week at Rory's cousin's baby's blessing. (whoa..) I was sitting there listening to someone bear their testimony and I heard a baby fussing, I looked around but could not see any other baby besides Eli, who was being held by my sister-in-law Kiesha. I was like, "Is that Eli?" and she excitedly nodded yes. Ever since that day his voice has progressively gotten clearer and louder. He has also had no problems nursing, breathing, etc. Rory and I were talking about how at the fireworks on the 4th I had Eli in his carseat at my feet and my mom said, "Lori look at Eli!" I looked down to find that he was really upset and turning blue. who knows how long he had been crying and no one knew. Then, this last Saturday (just one week later) we went to some fireworks, and he was crying so I was bouncing him to calm him down and I looked at the people next to us and they were annoyed that he was so loud! I just wanted to scream it out loud how amazing it was! I know that I may have seemed a bit dramatic about the whole thing but to learn that your little baby has a good chance of having a brain tumor can kinda do that to you. There were so many people who offered words of comfort and prayers for Eli. I've learned of many family members and friends who put his name on the prayer roll at various temples, and about little kids even praying for him. Thank you so much everyone! My testimony of prayer and Priesthood has grown tremendously over the past few weeks!
