Evelyn's Birth Day

The pictures we didn't show you last year...

Born on March 8 at 11:07pm

March 9, 12:38am

March 9, 2am: After 36 hours of active labor and 3 hours of surgery and recovery, Savannah got to hold Evelyn for the first time.

March 9, 5pm:

In the past year, Evelyn has

Drank about 40 gallons of breast milk.
Kept 2,190 disposable diapers out of landfills.
Gone from not being able to do anything except eat, sleep and excrete to feeding herself with utensils and understanding language. Amazing.
Become true friends with both of her cats.

One Year Old!

We made it! We survived and blogged for an entire year! Yes, we had setbacks in both arenas, but it has been the most wonderful year of our lives.

Thank you to all of my family and friends who have loved and supported me through the first year of my life. I love you.

52 Weeks Old

Not even a year old, and I already kicked the bottle habit!

There is nothing a small baby needs like a SECOND first birthday party before she has even officially turned one year old. But who are we kidding? The parties are for the adults! And Evelyn has finally had the opportunity to meet a lot of her extended family for the first time. It has been wonderful!
