Most importantly, Evangeline has started helping Mummy and Daddy with the housework. She cried and cried when we took away the duster. We are taking this as a good sign.
Second in importance, Evie is ONE! She had a fabulous birthday party with lots and lots of people and even more cupcakes. We will be adding those photos later when Mummy remembers where she uploaded them to. Evie got to see Nana, Papa, Grandma, Ma, Pa and Grandad as well as lots of friends. And no, there was not any eating of cake with hands because Mummy didn't want to clean it up. Poor Evie.
The doctor's comment at Evie's one year check up was "she's certainly thriving" - which we reckon means chunky as Evie weighed in at a massive 22lbs 8oz and 30 inches tall. Hopefully some of the excess rolls will burn off now that she is WALKING!!! After taking a couple of steps, Evangeline started walking on December 17th and has not looked back since.
Evie had two Christmas Days this year - first with Grandma, John, Russ and Olga and later on with cousin Sam the rest of the English contingent. Evie ate so much we thought she might pop. But, we did discover that she really a true Brit, putting away mince pie, figgy pudding, smoked salmon, bubble and squeak, and a pickled onion. We just hope she stays this easy to feed!
More photos to follow (I promise they will be here before March). Evie is sound asleep and I fancy a glass of wine or two . . .
