So, how much has she grown in a year? Physically not a whole lot. She is definitely petite.4/16/09 - 7 lbs 1.5 oz, 19 3/4 inches
4/16/10 - 19 lbs 9.5 oz, 28 1/4 inches
However, in a year she has gone from being completely helpless to almost walking, talking and feeding herself. Amazing!
To celebrate her birthday, we drove down to Victoria last weekend to share it with my family. It was such a great time. She had a ball playing with Gran and Papa, and Mat and I even got to go on a date! Thank you to Mom, Dad, Maw Maw, Paw Paw, Aunt Linda, Courtney, Ashley, Aunt Paula, Lindsey and Kendra for coming to celebrate with us.
My mom made my birthday cakes growing up so I thought it would be extra special if she would make Evie's first cake. She agreed. Of course the theme was Mickey Mouse, what else? Evie got to have her first taste of Chick-fil-A (Mommy's favorite). We also had a fresh fruit salad and Rice Krispies Treats in the shape of Mickey.
She was mesmerized by the lit candle. She stared at it while we sang "Happy Birthday" to her.
Tasting chocolate for the first time.
Not too sure.
Chocolate is yummy!
She was really enjoying herself...laughing along with us.
I am 1!
Trying to get a family pic. If anyone got a good one of the 3 of us, please send it to me. Mat was the photographer most of the time.
After a bath, we opened some presents. Thanks everyone!
This wasn't one of her gifts. It happened to be sitting near by and she felt like going for a ride. Loved it!
After the party, we went outside to get some photos in the wildflowers that were growing on my parents' property. Just beautiful! I love Texas!
Going after the cat.
She is constantly pointing at everything and saying "sat?"Thank you God for our sweet Evie Charmaine.
