Drumroll, please...

I don't think we ever properly introduced our second not-so-little bundle of joy. It has been a little over six months since he joined the Whitacre clan and I never got my act together enough to send out a baby announcement.

So, drumroll please...

We are so proud and thankful to announce the six monthaversary of  the vivacious Elijah Ryan Whitacre. He was born on May 20, 2011 at 8:55pm. He weighed in at 7 pounds 9 ounces and 20.5 inches long. He sported a full head of dark hair and captured our hearts from day one.

Eli, as we call him, is a fun loving kid. He loves to laugh especially at Kona, Asia and most of all his big brother, Jude. He is pretty easy going and loves to be held. He likes to be tossed around and "rough-housed". When he is tired he sucks his thumb - adorable! He makes crazy sounds including a not so adored screeching/high pitched scream when he really wants some attention or when he gets very excited. He is sitting up, but doesn't do much purposeful rolling. Crawling...what's that? Most remarkably he has already had six hair cuts and he still has a mop of hair.

Six months later we can't imagine life without him.
