Evelyn, 

This year has just flown by. I am so excited that you are growing, but at the same time I miss my quiet little baby. You are so rambunctious, into everything. You certainly keep us on our toes. You are so much fun to be around though, and you have the brightest personality. You always make everyone smile, and you love to laugh, especially while you chase the dogs. We always get compliments on what a good, quiet and happy baby you are. We love you so much, and no matter how big you get you will always be my little girl. 

Love, Mommy

Dear Evelyn,

I cannot believe you are almost a year. It seems like just yesterday I was laying on the couch watching my stomach move around with you inside. Now you are just weeks away from being a toddler! Looking back at the pictures it's amazing to me how much you have grown, I can barely even remember that tiny little baby face that you once were. It's really weird how that works, it seems like there is no way you have been with us for almost a year, but I look at the baby pictures of you and they seem so far away. I hope the next few years don't go as fast as this first one has, I want to relish in all the sweet moments of your youth.

Love Always, Mom

Whatever makes you happy baby.
