Evan is 1!!

On Sunday, Oct 14,"Ah mah" flew from Malaysia, Aunt Wendy and Baylee drove down from upstate New York, Auntie Sze Lin got a car and drove in from Jersey and Gramma and Papa came by for the afternoon for a little birthday celebration. Evan's birthday cake was made by Auntie Sze Lin. Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. Needless to say, there is none left. I enjoyed it very....I mean, Evan enjoyed his cake very much. Thank you! Next time, we'll have to take a picture of Sze Lin since she's been mentioned in two postings now!
Evan enjoys his new car. He loves moving the gears, spinning the wheels, pulling on the antenna. The only problem is....he doesn't know how to get off it yet--he either get's assistance or rolls off!

Daddy, can I have some of this "horse derves?"

And here's the parents and granparents...and a sleepy Evan.

Evan at 11 months

I apologize for not updating Evan's site. As a PR agent, I'm not doing a very good job. I blame the computer and trojan horses and those thingees that make computers stop working right.

By 11 months Evan coast frequently across the house and "knee-walks." It's slower that crawling but it keeps his hands free for his sippy cup or the remote control.

It was cold September afternoon when I dressed Evan in his warmer gear. The results made me cry. I called Jim at work, sobbing that my baby is now a little boy. It startled me.
