Evan had a great first birthday! We started the day with a fancy photo shoot (see below) and ended the day with a tiny little chocolate cake for Evan. So adorable! Seems like he's grown leaps and bounds since he turned 1 year old. He seems bigger, funnier, and more aware.

At Evan's 1- year doctor's appointment, he only weighs 18 lbs and is in the 1% of the weight class! I had no idea just how tiny he is! He is also in the 60th percentile for his height -- so, he's tall and very, very, very lean. The doctor is mildly concerned -- nothing too bad. But, she does want him to gain more weight. I tried to tell her that Evan eats more than most of the adults in the house. He certainly eats more than his cousin, and he doesn't gain weight. When talking to Mari, I found out that Evan and Norhanna weigh the same! Egads! The doctor suggested we give him whole milk (which we already do), yogurt (yup, we do that), butter with toast (uh-huh.. we do that, too) and offer him food regularly (yeah, that's a no brainer). If he doesn't gain considerable weight in the next few months, then we might do some tests to make sure he is processing his food well.

Check out these great photos from his birthday! :)
