I don't know how it happened, but Evan is a year old! To say that it flew by would be an understatement! I cried in the car the other day thinking that my LAST baby is a year already! Evan is the most laid back great baby!! I think if they gave prizes for the best baby HE would win hands down ( that's saying a lot because Jack was REALLY good) Evan loves balls and loves to say ball and points out balls everywhere. He can tell you what a lion says and what a monkey says. We just love him and I would five more if they could all turn out like Evan. He is a complete joy, and even though he was a very big surprise God knew what he was doing, I guess it goes to show we are not in control.
So, we had like 25 people over for his birthday and my little house was bursting at the seams! We asked everyone that came to bring an unwrapped gift that we could donate in Evans name to a sponsored family at the center for women in transition. Steven and I bought Evan a few gifts to open, but we thought that since it was thanksgiving and that we had christmas just four weeks away that this just felt right. ( really we don't need anymore toys or board books) We made Evan a stacking ring birthday cake that is his favorite toy since he has been six months old. I think we did a good job (were no cake boss) Evan loved cake and didn't make to big of a mess.
