A year ago today your dad & I drove to Hoag Hospital while listening to the song "Get Ready" by the Temptations. Who knew that "Get ready, 'cause here I come" would be the line that we still laugh about today. Your dad & I will forever remember listening to that song, thinking that the next time we get in the car to go home, you will be with us.
In the past year, you have grown 9.5 inches & gained 12 pounds. You outgrew your infant car seat in just 9 months. Now that you have cleared the weight, height & age requirement, you get to face forward in the car. What a trip! It is so much fun to be able to interact with you in the car.
You've come such a long way in 12 months. I love looking at the picture frame we have hung in your room. We've taken a picture of you each month to see your progress. Your little personality really started shining through at about 4 months. Coincidentally, that's also when you started sleeping through the night. Well, maybe that's not such a coincidence!
Lately our days are filled with trips to the playground. You love the swings & digging around in the sand. We take Ginger on a walk in the afternoon & read books before you go down for a nap. Its also become quite obvious which toys are your favorites ... anything with Elmo on it & anything with wheels! You have a bazillion race cars, trucks & fire engine toys all throughout the house. Oh, and how could I forget, you LOVE chasing Ginger around the house. You think it's quite hysterical actually. Whenever you chase her around the house you have to stop because you are laughing so hard!
Evan, you are the coolest kid we know & we can't wait to have fun with you in the upcoming toddler years.
Love,
Mom & Dad
