Evan got this new toy from my parents for his birthday. It's designed to help with walking, and once he has that mastered, we can covert it to a little ride-on scooter. Since he hasn't gotten the hang of bearing full weight on those chubby little legs yet, he figured out another way to move that sucker across the floor. Clever boy!!

The Big Birthday Bash
We had Evan's party on Sunday and had 29 people jammed into our little place! It was chaotic, but lots of fun! Evan had a blast and seemed to really enjoy all of the attention. And when we placed his own personal birthday cake in front of him, he knew just what to do! (His cake, by the way, was supposed to be a 4 X 4 square, but when I picked it and the big cake up from the bakery, I was given this big ole 5 x 7 rectangle as the 'little cake.' Hmm.) He immediately grabbed a big fistful of it and crammed it in his mouth. Tom and I agreed to take it away from him after a few minutes because we didn't want him to get sick from his first sugar overload!
The only thing Evan didn't seem to like about his party was his Birthday Boy hat!
Birthday Lunch
After Evan's doctor's appointment, my parents, Evan and I went to Red Robin for lunch. Evan got to wear his 'My First Birthday' bib while eating his pureed carrots and fruit. Then my Mom gave him a little taste of her hamburger and unleashed his inner carnivore! We ended up giving him several little pieces, which we lined up on the table and let him pick up himself. I guess french fries are next!
One Year Stats
Evan actually had to go to the doctor on his birthday for his one year check-up and his routine vaccination shots. (What a lousy present, huh!) From the look on his face in the first photo (sitting on my mom's lap in the waiting room), it seems like he knew what was coming next!
Everything checked out great, though, and he now weighs 24 lbs, 1 ounce and is 30 and 1/2 inches long. This means he has gained over 18 pounds since the day we brought him home from the hospital, and he's grown over 11 inches taller! What a big, healthy boy!
