Happy 1st Birthday!!!!
I seriously cannot believe that my baby Evan is turning one today. I will never forget the day he was born ever- We were so anxious to see him and make sure he was healthy with 10 fingers and 10 toes. He was 9 lbs. 12 oz. and just a HUGE baby! It was something so special the first time you see your little baby. This year has flown way too fast! I am the typical Mom when I say it seems like yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital- but it really does. Evan has changed our lives and we are so grateful to have him our family. We are lucky parents if you ask me! This first year, first baby thing was a lot different than I could have ever expected. I thought I was totally prepared with all my babysitting/nanny experiences, but I wasn't! Evan taught me more than I could have ever imagined, there will always be something special with Evan because he was my first and he really taught us what it means to be parents. You never really know what its like to be the "Mom" until you are the Mom. It's 24/7 and its worth every minute. Luke has been the best little Daddy is is so helpful- he was like a natural. Sometimes he would suggest things that totally were right, but aren't Mom's supposed to know everything?! I can remember those first few weeks with Evan, I thought I would just sit home all day in the same chair nursing everyday....little did I know how quickly those days would end. I cherish those moments now of just holding my sleeping child in my arms. Now he is on the go and so much fun. He is our best friend! So baby Evan Happy Birthday- Mommy and Daddy love you to the Moon and back! Here is what Evan can do now:
He is WALKING!!!!
He is done nursing and drinks straight from cups/sippy cups
He loves the remote control and my mixing bowls
He is still a way good sleeper
He loves playing with all of his toyse jibbers all day long
He loves to always know where his Mama is
He loves getting into everything and keeps his Mama busy!
He loves bananas, waffles, & pickles
He never took a bottle, or a binky! We made it all the way with nursing and we couldn't be happier!
He has never really been sick
He is a happy little fella
Evan is such a funny guy these days- his little personality is really coming out. He is so much fun! Lately he has been really into Luke- its pretty dang cute. He hears the door open and he is charging to see his Daddy! We can't wait to see what this next year brings with Evan! We love you!!!
Was he really ever this small?!

Happy Birthday Evy! We wish we could be there to celebrate and give you hugs and kisses!
Such a cute post and I couldnt agree with you more. There really IS SOMETHING special about the first born and time goes so fast.. He's such a cutie.
I came across your blog through a friends(Val Housley) blog around the time you were 5 months pregnant and have followed it ever since (I'm not a stalker) I just think it is totally awesome to follow Evan and you from birth to 1 year. Now I am experincing motherhood for myself. Just thought I would let you know you know I'm a fan! Congrats on a cute and happy little man!
I loved this post - and I love how you are recording what he is doing at each stage. Have you figured out how to print your blog yet?
I remember that day... I thought I was going to die, but was still so excited for you guys. Heck, I needed you to experience things a few weeks before me so you could warn me of what is to come! :) This past year has been a great one. Cute evan is getting so big.. we miss watching every single little stage, but at least I get to hear about them:) hope today is wonderful celebrating Little Evan. We Love you!
i feel like it was yesterday that I came to see you and baby evan at the hospital. And where did you get that giant cupcake I have been testing out making my own for sydneys party,but they don't look as good as his. Can't wait to have Evan at sydneys 1st birthday, yes I am already planning it.
Oh Happy Birthday Evan
Such a cute little boy, and yes, i saw his adorable pic on GTU. He is officially famous now, ha!
Ohhh, happy birthday little guy! You are right Ali, time really does fly. I am enjoying those 'sleeping baby in my arms' days all over again right now. It is amazing to think that soon he will be running all over the place like his older sister. I agree with your comments on motherhood and your first born. It's an amazing experience. Glad to see you are enjoying the journey!!
Happy Birthday Evan! 2 things...where did you get that giant cupcake and who took that adorable picture of Evan! Can't believe that he is 1!
Your little guy is so cute! Can you even believe how fast time goes? Love the pictures of him in that hat too! So cute!
