Evie's One Year Old

We were going to take Evie's pictures a little bit closer to her actual birthday but the poor thing was sick.

This time of the year here, the weather is all over the place. The day we were originally going to do her pictures was a beautiful day, much warmer than any other day that week. When that happens it feels like it's just for you and I was nervous that we were missing our window to take some photos outside. As it happens, we lucked out again and our make-up date was even warmer than the day we missed. (I foolishly thought we may have actually been done with winter but I woke up this morning and had to turn that 'ol heat back on)

We met up at Godfrey park for most of them. She seemed a little suspicious of me but we got along pretty well and she enjoyed checking out the park. Mostly the wood chips laying all over the ground. Those were definitely the most interesting.

She also liked to show me where her belly button is.
After the park, we went back to the house and let her run around the living room a bit and play with her toys.

Then it came time for the birthday cake. She didn't waste any time going for that icing. I have to assume there was a simmilar situation at the actual birthday party and if she didn't go right for the cake then, she remembered that this cake thing is good news for her.

She tore about half of it away before feeling it was time to crawl away and wasn't too thrilled with me not letting her crawl away too far and launched into tears. Mommy came in to save her and cleaned her off. She was awake when I left but I'm sure she slept good that afternoon.
