Happy Birthday, Baby

It's 1:15 am here....and little N is nearly halfway through her first birthday. She will be eating lunch soon. She might get a cookie later this afternoon with her snack. No cake. No party. No one to hold her close and tell her they love her. How is she feeling today? Is she playful? Is she tired? Does she have a cold? Did she get any extra attention at all? Is she anywhere close to walking yet? It's been 2.5 months since we've seen her.

We're trying to get to you, baby girl. We're trying.

She shares the date with the artist Rembrandt and C.C. Moore, the guy who wrote "A Visit From St. Nicholas". Artsy future for her, maybe? Happy birthday, N :)

She is so adorable that surely someone there will hold her close and wish her a Happy Birthday. Glad that the birthdays that she will remember will be spent with you.
Sending you a hug today too.

Aw - I'm sure someone is giving her an extra cuddle. And look forward to all the birthdays she will have with you and she will remember them. :)

Happy birthday N!! :)

I can't believe it's been 2.5 months. You are both so strong and patient. Such an admirable thing although it's much easier for me to say that!

Happy Birthday N!

My baby's 3rd birthday is tomorrow and your post..and the cake has me in tears.

I think you guys should definitely celebrate her birthday on your Family Day this year.

Your strength amazes me.
