Christmas Cards

We met Matt after work one day this week to try to get at least one good picture for our Christmas card. I was pleasantly surprised with how many good ones we got...it is hard to keep this busy little man still for pictures but we got some cute action shots, too! These are my favorites!

Lexington Christmas Parade

Evans loved the Lexington Christmas Parade! He waved at everyone who went by...SO much fun for Matt and I to watch!

Santa Baby

Gingerbread Boy

Evans made gingerbread men for the first time at Mimi and Papa's house when we were there for Thanksgiving. He thought they were yummy!

Thanksgiving 2011

Evans loved eating BOTH of his Thanksgiving dinners!

I love his outfit...made by my mama of course!

Quite the little turkey!

One year stats

Evans had his one year check-up today. His pediatrician said he is "perfect" for a twelve month old...physically and developmentally. We think he is pretty perfect too! :)

Weight: 19 lbs 13 oz (10th percentile)

Length: 30 1/2 inches (60th percentile)

Head circumference: 19 inches (90th percentile)

You wear mostly 12 month clothes but have some pants that are 6-9 months because you are so skinny! You wear a size 3 diaper and size 3 or 4 shoe. I buy 18 months PJs for you because I don't like them to be too tight!

Favorite things right now: bananas, pushing things around the room (trucks, books, chairs...anything!), splashing in the bath, laughing hysterically when told "no"

First Birthday Party!

We had Evans' first birthday party at Gibson Pond Park. It was a chilly day so we were thankful for the fireplace and enjoyed spending time with our families.

I loved his cakes!

Since we have an abundance of toys, we asked guests to bring a toy for Happy Wheels, an organization that we got to know of during Evans' time at the Children's Hospital. They deliver toys and books each week to the babies and children staying there.

Look who's turning one!

My mom made his sweet outfit (and matching bib above)!

This boy loves cake!

Now the cake has truly become a "smash" cake!

This tray is way more interesting than the cake!

Birthday lunch date!

Mom brought Evans (and Chick-fil-A) to school on his birthday so we could eat lunch together!

My name tag must have tasted good. :)

This boy LOVES a bag!

My sweet, sweet students!

Making some new friends...

Birthday at home

Birthday boy just waking up...

More interested in the balloons than presents!

Loved his birthday muffin...so much that he had two!

Opening presents after supper...I thought he would love this because he loves to tear paper, but he could have really cared less! :)

Time for cookie cake!

He really enjoyed pulling off the icing dots around the edge!

Yummy!
