I'll eat you up I love you so

As expected, Evelyn came out with a full head of hair. It wasn't long after we got home from the hospital with her that we realized not only did she have a lot of hair, but she had a lot of unruly hair.

See what I mean?

Her hair was out of control and not for a second did I think about combing it down-- I liked it too much. Everywhere we went someone seemed to comment on "that hair." Not only had it become her trademark, but it also suited her spunky personality quite well.

I checked my email one afternoon to find an email from Ryan: a side-by-side comparison of our daughter and this little monster from the book, Where the Wild Things Are.

Yes! That's our Evie, I thought.

I love this book and I thought the resemblance was adorable, so I bought her a cute onesie and a few prints for her nursery off of Etsy.

And, yep, the idea for my blog title stemmed from this book. I think a rumpus is the perfect definition for any parent's first year with a baby. They flip your world upside down...in a good way of course, causing a wild commotion unlike any other.

Evie's hair as tamed down more recently, but her personality sure hasn't.

We'll eat you up, we love you so, dearest Evie.
