Keep Falling
Photo-A-Day #1297

Today was a nice Fall day, Allison and I took Eva to Church and then after lunch we took her for a little walk. Eva ended up falling asleep right before we got home and luckily when Allison picked her up out of the stroller she remained asleep. That gave us time to watch one episode of Smallville (and I fell asleep).

Today was one of those lazy Sundays where we took care of a few things around the house like putting away Eva’s birthday gifts and putting batteries in all the new toys that make the noise. Good news is that I am now well versed in the Alphabet song. Maybe my spelling will improve.

Some Bonus Photos for you.

I'm behind the camera now
While still too little for a real camera Eva does have a toy video camera that now has fresh batteries and some strange sounds.

Today we had every new parent’s right of passage, the 1st birthday party. The 1st birthday party is that one where everyone is invited and everyone wants to come. It is the party where the baby gets to try cake for the 1st time and lots of fun and cute things happen. Eva was no different, she charmed everyone who came to visit and enjoyed the heck out of her cake and ice cream. Our house was packed to standing room only.

The party started at 1:00 and we filled the place with aunts, uncles, cousins, kids, babies, sisters, brothers, friends and grandparents. At 1:30 we got the pizza delivery. Pizza and cake was the easiest thing to do, because pizza can be eaten standing up and the wide variety of toppings makes there something for everyone. We also had a couple of salads as well.

After lunch we put Eva in her high chair and brought out the cake. We got a Winnie the Pooh cake form BJ’s, they make some nice cakes and decorate them well. At first Eva was more about cookies than cake and pushed the cake away. Allison tried a different tack and gave her some ice cream instead. For ice cream I picked up Hoodsie cups. So much easier than scooping ice cream. Plus, They’re Hoodsie Cups!

We had a wonderful day and Eva was a star of the show. She’s actually still up right now, we think she might be cutting a tooth, of course she’s gotten her second, sugar high, wind.

Here are a bunch more photos from her 1st birthday party.
