She was unsettled last night so when midnight came round we sang her happy birthday and she sat up in bed, proud as could be, bobbing her head to the tune. This morning she delighted in paper, refused to wear her party hat and played peek-a-boo more times than I could count. Poet Winter is one and she blew out her own birthday candle. Sigh. I will always remember watching her as she gobbled up her first piece of cake, wore that little top-knot so well and fed like she did as a newborn - eyes wide, contentedly grunting. Che made her a card yesterday with a scattering of gold stars and a big red heart. He said to me: "A heart, for love. Because I love Poe Poe." We do love you Poe Poe. So much. Happy birthday beautiful girl. You are pure joy and one year ago today you changed our world, forever.
Happy Birthday beautiful Poe Poe! It's been so wonderful sharing parts of the journey that was your first year... and I'm happily tuning in for the next few chapters too! xx
Happy Birthday Little Poet (that last photo is heartmeltingly adorable) Have loved following along with her magical world this year through your blog. She seems such a doll & you such a gorgeous family. sounded like a wonderful day x
BTW Jodi, I finally knitted up the vest. I'm afraid my knitting skills need much refining but you're welcome to check it out here :: http://www.bravenewvintage.com/2012/07/liams-vest.html
oh happy birthday beautiful girl! it's such a bitter sweet celebration for you and daniel - or maybe just mama?! how fast the months slip by, I hope you had a really wonderful day together x
I found your blog at about the time she was born. What a special girl we have been following. Lucky gorl too to have such a big hearted brother, daddy & mamma. x
OMG I swear it was just the other day I was saying congrats she is here! She is still gorgeous, I still love her name and she still is a lucky girl to belong to a perfect for her family. Well done mama
Happy birthday to her- she is so sweet. That first birthday was so emotional for me, I just couldn't wrap my head around a whole year having passed. As we approach number two I'm feeling more centered- we will see!
Oh man, that year has flown. What a beautiful little child she is Jodes. It's been sweet to share some of this infant magic with you. Happy birthday to the lovely little one and happy giving-birth day to you too! xx
Happy Birthday sweet little Poe Poe. What a year you've had and what wonderful adventures are ahead of you over the next one. Much love to you on this special day xxx
