Happy Due Date... Evelyn!

Evelyn, weighing six pounds twelve ounces
Evelyn, on September 25th at two pounds thirteen ounces

Our Sweetest Baby C! Evelyn never misses a beat. She is incredibly curious, and will often cry if you place her on your shoulder - she'd much prefer to sit on your lap, facing out, so she can watch the world go by with unending interest. She spends a significant amount of the day awake in her crib, sharing quiet confidences with her audience of Monsieurs Monkey, Giraffe and Teddy. She isn't usually the first to cry, but when she does she makes her displeasure known; loudly! Our littlest redhead is very good-natured and even-tempered. She loves to smile at her adoring fan club and has a quiet, Teutonic efficiency when draining her bottle to the last drop. She loves a warm lap and a soft touch, and when she is fussy, a spin in the rocking chair calms everyone's frayed nerves. We think she likes storytime - she's usually fast asleep after the first paragraph, contentedly snuggled on Daddy's shoulder.

We love you, Evelyn!
