Evi at birth came out with one big cry, then a subtle somber whine along with very little to no hair. I remember throughout my pushing stage, the nurse saying repeatedly 'I see his hair, Gloria! You're doing so well'. At this stage I was determined to hurry up the process so I could finally meet him and witness whether he'd inherit my obnoxious hat of hair, only to find once he was out, he had very short strands of hair. His hair was so silky and delicate to the touch.
Now, his hair has been going through some dramatic growth spurts with one single strand longer than all the rest. It's almost scary to witness what our little cheesecakes true identity is, one strand at a time, until his full head of hair is here and we see what he'll look like. I often find myself, wondering in deep thought what he'll look like when he's 15, 18 then 21. I catch myself at that moment and mutter to myself- no way, he's going to stay in those cute cloth diapers and be my baby panda forever! Mmmm..that's better!
Today I decided to begin my 365 Day Photo Project of Evi. I've been inspired to do this for a long while now by a friend I've known since high school, and although I initially had planned to start on January 1st 2013, I figured, it'd still be valid if I started now. The outline of this project is to capture sentimental moments in your child's life through a photo for every day for a year. It will offer insight into the family memories, moments of joy, firsts and life of our little Panda, Evi. So without further ado here it is:

Today you are five and a half months old and I caught you holding out your hand with intrigue, directing your gaze towards the spatula I was using to mix the batter for the chocolate cake. Puppy-eyed, you waited patiently for me to pick up the signs and let you have a little taste. Lit by wonderment, you bit down on the spatula and with the first (and only) chomp, you found yourself trying something sweet melt between your gums. This my darling is the taste of chocolate, your ticket to one of the most delicious treats this world has to offer.
