here are some pictures of evan from the past year (if you're struggling putting pictures in order by age just look at the hair). it's amazing how fast they grow and all that they learn that first year. i feel so blessed to have witnessed it all. here are some of my faves about evan:
1. he's a snuggler.
2. he loves to wrestle. he will start charging toward you like a bull with his head down and then try to wrestle you to the ground. i think he can actually knock lily down from a sitting position when he does this.
3. his smile.
4. his laugh.
5. his latest technique when i read to him is to try and close the book fast or push to the ground - for which he giggles when successful.
6. the way he waits for an audience - if he makes someone laugh, he looks around to see if others will look at him too and waits for their attention before he will perform again. OR he waits for attention before he does something to grab your attention - such as looking at you and smiling before he turns the T.V. off for the umpteenth time!
7. he loves the piano, wheels, cars and balls.
8. he is so patient and persistent. he sits in his high chair and will plug away at feeding himself until his gotten enough food down. he does the same thing when trying to learn how to play with something or get up high by climbing something.
9. he's happy and hardly ever complains.

Where did the year go? Enjoy every moment with him before someone starts singing "sunrise, sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof.
You know how much I enjoy Evan. I have to say, I kind of miss the little Evan though... Babies they grow up too fast!
Amanda said that right. He now looks like a little man...
he seems to have an intelligent spark in his eyes! what a cutie. how is it that our babies are growing so fast?
