One year old

Dear Evans,

It is so hard for me to believe that you are already a year old. November 17, 2010 was the best day of my life, and I will be forever grateful that God chose me to be your mommy. You have been such an easy baby from the minute you were born. They had to wake you up in the hospital nursery so you could eat! Mimi told me I never really knew what it was like to have a newborn because you were such a good sleeper and rarely cried. You have had a few rough nights that resulted in late night rides in the car, but that was only when you were sick (what a time you had with your ears!). Although I miss snuggling with you and cherish every second that you will let me hold you, you are such a joy to watch right now. You entertain yourself so well...so much in fact that you can have an entire room of toys and still choose a plastic lid to play with! You are jabbering up a storm, but not really saying any words (sometimes it sounds like you do but I don't think you really know what you are saying!). You are ALL BOY...busy, busy, busy and into everything! Daddy installed cabinet locks this week to keep you out of them. :) I would not change one thing about you, though! I love you and thank God for you every day.

Love,

Mommy
