Dear Evelyn -
This year has flown by. It seems like just yesterday we were waiting impatiently for your arrival (again...you decided to come late) and now you are a year old. In typical second child fashion, you have grown up so quickly. You literally run everywhere, love to climb, and also love it when your sister takes you for rides in her Jeep. You used to love your Cozy Coupe...but right now even that is too slow for you. The slide is amazing to you - and you are a pretty good climber - but the BIG slide is where it's at. You squeal in excitement when you know you are about to go down! Don't worry...Mommy and Daddy hold your hand.
You love your sister, dogs, anything that looks like a dog, your blankie, pouches of food, sausage, chicken and fruit. You also found a new love for marshmallows, chips, and even pick out the good stuff from Lucky Charms. We've tried chocolate milk and regular milk...but you really prefer smoothies in your sippy cup. Everything else is thrown on the ground. Apparently you have a bit of a sweet tooth.
For your birthday - it was a BIG deal. We threw a banner party - and you loved every minute of it. Including the cake. There was so much to see - you really do love action. The best thing about you is that you can be a momma's girl - but you are also a daddy's girl, a grandma's girl, and right now, anyone that will read to you is your BFF.
You LOVE your sister. LOVE. It's so fun to see you two play together already - you are going to be best friends.
You are such an animated child at a young age. Your laughter fills a room and I find myself hugging and kissing and just loving on you way more than I did with your sister (sorry Grace).
Evie - I could talk forever about you. You are the first baby I have stayed home with the entire time and it's been hard letting go even a little bit for Mom's Morning Out (which you started a few weeks ago). You do great and love it...but for me it's still lonely. I get so scared riding in a quiet car - I'm not used to it.
Know that you are SO loved little girl.
Love,
Your Mommy
