Happy Birthday Eve! 08/08/08

You are looking at the sweetest baby born on the earth. This is our little Eve at 2 months old. She was absolutely angelic. She rarely cried, would wake up smiling, loved to cuddle, and you could just tell that she was happy to be here. I never knew when she woke up in the morning because she would happily lay in bed cooing until I went in to get her. I would walk in her room when I had Veda taken care of already, to find her wide awake, smiling at me.

Not a lot has changed about this one, except that she is 3 years old now. Eve is one of a kind. She is the sweetest, most precious child alive. Eve is always happy and content. She is the most loving child I have ever known. She tells me she loves me randomly throughout the day several times with a hug and kiss. She entertains herself, makes no demands, and rarely disobeys. When she does something she feels might have been wrong, she puts herself in timeout. When she is done, she says "Mom, it's my fault. I'm sorry." I'm not kidding!
Eve wanted a princess party this year so we delivered. We didn't want to surpress the tomboy somewhere down in there, so we served up "worms and dirt" as a snack - chocolate pudding, crushed oreos, and gummy worms.

Making princess hats.
Even the boys loved the princess hats!

Finally, a REAL violin!

I often ask myself "What did I do to deserve this one?" We are so lucky to have you sweet girl. We love you so much Evie Pie! Happy 3rd birthday!

Man, I miss this little princess...those pictures made me SO lonesome. :(

KC is speaking the truth. Eve is honestly too good to be true...such a precious little munchkin... (give her loves from Aunty Carey please).
