Evelyn opening gifts at her party
Evelyn is a year old! Where did the time go?? Didn't I just give birth to her last week?
How Evelyn has grown...
She's now an actual toddler. She's walking all over the place and gets into anything she can get her little hands on. She crawls up stairs pretty well. She's really good at figuring out how stuff works. She says, "dog," but that's the only word she will use so far. She LOVES our dog, Addie...but poor Addie (we call her our cat-dog) wants absolutely nothing to do with Evelyn. She is growing and developing SO fast...I have to remember not to blink.
What she loves....
Her duckie stuffed animal, of course. She loves that darn thing. She also loves her book that plays music from Carrie. She loves three commercials on tv...Stanley Steamer, Hansons, and Empire Carpet. Don't ask me why. Whenever those commercials come on, she stops whatever she's doing and focuses on the tv. The only show she watches is Yo Gabba Gabba on Nick Jr. If you haven't seen that show, you MUST tune in. It is honestly the weirdest show I've ever seen, but when it comes on, she's glued to the tv for the entire time it's on. Thanks, Lindsey, for telling me about the show, " uh break it down!" LOL! When it comes to food, Evelyn loves yogurt...any flavor. She also loves any kind of bread or potato...a carboholic. If we give her our pizza crust, she's in heaven. Oh, and she absolutely LOVES to dance. Whenever one of her toys plays a song, she "dances" (well, it's more like head-banging, but whatever). It' really cute. And, the one thing she loves the most?? DADDY!! We have a full-blown daddy's girl on our hands.
What she DOESN'T love...
The vacuum! She is terrified of the vacuum. That's okay, mommy doesn't like cleaning anyway. She's not fond of the basement. I'm not sure why. That makes life kind of difficult since our laundry business is in the basement and I need to go down there several times a day. She doesn't like it when I leave the room, either. I'm hoping she'll grow out of that soon.
Well, it's been a WONDERFUL year with Evelyn. I'm looking forward to what's to come. THANK YOU to all of you who came to Evelyn's party. And Evelyn thanks you for all the great birthday gifts! She's been having sooo much fun playing with all of them (and mommy's been having fun dressing her in all her new cute outfits). :)
