Evelyn Turns One

It’s hard to believe but our baby girl recently celebrated her first birthday! On the morning of her birthday, in line with our family tradition, we had the downstairs filled with balloons, and we greeted Evey with a family happy birthday ballad. It was cute seeing her crawl through the balloons and Ethan was enjoying them as much as she was (if not more), as he really likes ballooons.

We had a little celebration for her as a family on the day of her birthday, June 8th. Bridget made Evey a Hello Kitty cake and we opened up some of her presents. Evey definitely enjoyed her first chocolate cake experience. At the end of the birthday week, we had some family and friends over and had a little party for her. (Pictures below)

Evelyn is growing up quick! She can now stand up briefly on her own and she is starting to take some steps. She has mastered pulling herself up and is very mobile. She is vocal and definitely lets you know when she wants something. She’s putting together some small words and phrases in her cute Evey voice, “Peek a boo”, “Thank You”, “Please”,.. Much to our surprise, she crawled up a set of stairs on the lower level of our house. She heard Mommy and Ethan upstairs and wanted to be part of the action
