Hi there!  My name is Eveline, and this is my favourite pet Hippo, George.  I'm not actually allowed to PLAY with George, but for my birthday, Mommy and Daddy let me sleep next to him at least.  I was born at 2:45pm on Wednesday, June 27, 2001 -- at the El Camino Hospital.
Here's what my Mommy looked like afterwards --as you can see, I wasn't that hard on her, was I?   (You can also see from this picture that Mommy was still protectively guarding her hippo against any baby drool - -but "for the record", I was well-behaved and only drooled on Mommy's side of the bed instead.)
	And, as for Dad, he was just amazed that I had actually FIT inside Mommy's tummy.  See how surprised he was!
