Happy Birthday Eva!

DeDcomic

My Daughter Eva turned One today. In a whirlwind year this kid went from laying around not doing much of anything to being the queen butt scootah of the house. Really, she took the title from Allison in a heated race. And with any birthday it is time to celebrate. We celebrated by taking Eva to Red Robin for her 1st solid meal sans any baby food. She had apples slices and half a burger. I helped her out with the other half. She even had a bit of a fry minus the Fry Sauce that I made.

The image above is from Brian Anderson of Dog Eat Doug. I did a review of his comic compilation and he sent me this sketch for Eva’s Birthday. What a great guy.

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.
