Wow-unbelievable! Evan is one!! That is so exciting and so
sad. It means I don’t have my little baby anymore!
We had so much fun celebrating our sweet boy!
Mike and Lynda came up to help celebrate his first birthday
as well!
We went up to the Zoo to have a little picnic and see all
the animals! We brought the wagon and let the kids run around. We LOVE going to
the Zoo and we love seeing Sage get excited about it and Evan is starting to
recognize the animals and can hold his attention a little longer!
After the Zoo, we came home, the kids had a nap and then we
had a yummy dinner.
Grandma made a really special cake for Evan- it had looked
exactly like Brad’s first cake! We sang Happy Birthday and had Sage help blow
out the candle. Evan was very skeptical of the huge cake in front of him. He
grabbed it and didn't know what to make of the gooey frosting. With a little
help, he started to enjoy it!
Sage had fun helping brother as well. And, well….Grandma and
Grandpa got involved in the finger feeding of the cake!
It was Evan’s first cake and he was such a funny boy after
it! He literally turned into a toddler that day. No more baby for him- he is an
independent, boy! He loves figuring things out for himself. He loves to explore
and put anything and everything in his mouth! He imitates a lot- he can imitate
gestures and sounds. He can say “uh-oh”, “mama”, “dada”. He can climb the
stairs and scoots down really well. We are weaning him off of formula and getting him onto whole milk. He is teething and getting two
more upper teeth in. AND He is FINALLY sleeping in to 6:30am now!
It was fun to reminisce the day he was born! It was so quick
and I remember being so excited! Nothing can ever get better than those two
amazing days when your children are born!
I’m so happy that he was our little boy that we wanted!
It has been an amazing year with Evan in our lives. There were
some challenges in the beginning with him being a fussy baby and the transition
from one kid to two! Boy- that was a hard one!! But after a year- we've finally
found our rhythm and I wouldn't change anything to make it any different. Our
kids are incredibly happy kids and we love spending any free minute we have
with them!
Happy First Birthday sweet Evan!! You are so loved and so
wanted!!!
