Tiny Town

My apologies again for the photo overload. It's hard for a Mama to deem a photo of her son not blog-worthy. Just goofing around the house, being beautiful.
Shirt: "The best thing since sliced bread." True.
New pumpkin hat, and a fistful of puffs.
Eli got his first first birthday present! This great Eli puzzle stool came from the lovely Thomas Family. Thanks friends! He loves scooting it around the house, and trying to put the letters back in place. He's so smart!
And here begins the chronicles of our trip to World Famous Tiny Town and Railroad http://www.tinytownrailroad.com/ . It's just what it sounds like - a tiny town and a tiny train. It's about 5 minutes from our house, so some friends: Shana and Inara, Laura and Grace, Kirsten and Julia, Shasta and Christopher and Jackson, Amaya and William, and Kim and Jake - came up from Denver to Tiny Town. We toured the town, played on the playground, had a picnic and rode the train. Here Eli's checking in on the Tiny Town Tribune office.
William in his real estate office...
and his partner, Eli.
Soapy Smith's Saloon.
William and Eli chillin' on the tiny bench. They were so cute up there I could hardly stand to move them. (Eve - notice the Elmo hat on Williams. We've passed it on to him since Eli's gourd got too big for it.)
Such good buddies!
He kept his glasses on either his eyes or head all day - a first.
So handsome.
Tiny Town Library.
William and Eli checking out tee times at the Tiny Town club house.
Tiny Church.
Tiny Windmill.
The boys got sent to the clink. We sprung them shortly from the Tiny Town Jail.
No tiny hair for this boy. Fabulous faux hawk once again.
Flame shades.
"Hi Mama."
Sitting at the tiny picnic table with Grace.
And the tiny train. Tiny town was a big hit. It tuckered him out so well that he fell asleep in the five minute drive home and stayed asleep as I brought him in the house. So for the first time in months I got to hold my baby boy while he slept. We napped together for almost an hour. It was lovely.

Ha ... The next quote in my queue to do? Big Bird Aviation! And one pilot's name is Gordon!

Tiny Town is hilarious! What a concept!

That first picture - the lighting, his hair and eyes and look -- definitely magazine worthy. What a gorgeous boy!
