Happy 1st Birthday Eva!
Photo-A-Day #1281

Eva turned 1 year old this afternoon at 12:04pm. The year that was flew by so incredibly quick that our heads are spinning. I cannot believe that this beautiful girl was once so very small. Yes, she is still small but each day she grows more into her own. Her own personality, her own sense of self and her own sense of humor (she is a little clown sometimes). I am so glad that I photographed her ‘almost’ every day for her 1st year. Just being able to look back over how much she has changed in that short period of time is amazing.

We celebrated with a trip to Red Robin for dinner and the staff sang Eva a birthday song and gave her a sundae. Then we came home and Tara and Erik came over for cupcakes. We had a fun time watching Eva as she discovered the joy that is a chocolate frosted cupcake. I’ve posted some of my favorite photos from today on Flickr. You can see them starting with this one.

Oh and I keep working on my Fry Sauce recipe. This time I mixed the ketchup and mayo with pickle juice and Red Robin seasoning. DELICIOUS!! Thanks to Steve for the pickle juice idea.

9 Short Days

Probably my best photo ever...

In nine short days Eva will be 1 year old. I’m not sure how this will hit me but I will probably be crying as she is plowing her face into her first piece of cake. I can’t believe that this tiny baby has grown to be such an independent little toddler. She is smart and beautiful and everything a father could wish for in a daughter. She’s becoming much more interested in books and likes us to read the same ones over and over. Yesterday when I got home and picked her up from my mom’s house she scooted across the room holding a book. She wanted me to read it to her. That was really cool. So there will be many more book reviews coming. I’m working on a possible Virtual 1st Birthday Party for Eva at her party on the 19th. So you actually have to wait 18 days before you see the Birthday stuff on this blog.
