The party is now over, her birthday has come and gone.
And now my little baby is one year old!
We had a wonderful day celebrating her birthday with our family and closest friends.
I'll tell you all about it through photos...
She loved her birthday outfit!
Lots of love from Grammie & Pop-pop and Grandma Bev!
She covered herself in pink frosting
And then we celebrated her actual birthday by trick-or-treating with Evelyn's friends!
I still haven't taken down the photo banners and pink hanging tissue balls and orbs....they are so cute!
It was so incredible to have Grammie & Pop-pop stay with us for over a week, and my dear Evelyn got so attached. She still looks for them when I ask where they are. Evelyn was able to get lots of love from them, and I was able to soak up some much needed alone time with them. And my mom is amazing - I wouldn't have been able to put on the party without her!
I had to take Evelyn in to the doctor, not for her one year appointment, but because she has a cold - the first sickness she's ever had! Poor girl has a rattly cough and stuffy nose, but it's just a cold. While we were at the doctor's, we discovered that she's cutting her molars, which is probably contributing to some of her discomfort with this cold.
Oh, and she now weighs a whopping 19 pounds! :)
My little girl is quite the social bug, she loves waving at everyone and saying in the sweetest high pitched voice "hi!" She loves to wave at big trucks and helicopters, too.
She is in love with this soft pink bear that she calls her "baby," and loves to hug and kiss it. She even says "baby!" And she says "daddy" a lot. She doesn't say "Mommy" much, but don't worry, my feelings aren't hurt!
I'd like to write more, but that's all for now, because I'm battling a nasty cold, too. My poor husband, he has to deal with both of his ladies being sick! Pray for us, will you?
