Elijah-ness

We stayed after church for Paul's baptism one Sunday. I actually missed what happened since I was still inside the church, but apparently there were cupcakes and somehow this happened:

Thank you to whoever thought to take this picture for me.

Just a Stinky and his daddy, hanging out in the favorite chair:

I have no idea what's going on here, but based on the sheer amount of both pink and stuffed animals, there's only one answer: Elise was involved:

Elijah is obsessed with tiny metal chains. He loves to carry them around in his hand and drape them across his hands. Or apparently his face:

Yes, that is Catherine's necklace.

He's constantly raiding her room for treasures. 

Jon dressed Elijah for church one Sunday.

Toddlers in ties for the win!

Have you ever loved the tub so much that you just can't bear to leave it?

Even when it's completely empty?

Please note the awesome tan lines this kid picks up every summer!

Most of the time Catherine is Elijah's favorite.

Unless, of course, UNCLE TIMMY is around!

Look at that look of adoration!

Also, he was quite obsessed with cicadas for most of the summer:

We have the influence of Catherine to thank for this newfound love!
