And I don't know whether to laugh or cry. It's like she knows. She's been acting like such a big girl all day.

On the one hand, I'm so happy to see her growing up. There's so much she can do now, and she's got so much spunk.

But I'm also all weepy because it's all gone by so fast. To think she spent her first five days in the NICU, and how much everything has changed since then.

I'm like a roller coaster.
Happy Birthday, Piper Jean!

Congratulations - when you look back, it all seems to have gone by in a flash.

Oh!!!! Happy happy day to your wee one!!! I cried when my girl turned one...we also celebrate halfsies. On her six month, her eighteen month, etc., we have half a cake or pie and give her half of one present until her wholesies. It's a fun tradition!

Congrats to you!

Happy birthday to your daughter.

I have a little sweetie (not my daughter) who just turned 12 and is now as tall as her mother. "But . . . but . . . it was only yesterday I was riding her around on my shoulders. How did this happen?" :-(

Wow, already?

It seems like just the other day you were saying, 'Hey, guys, look what I've got!'

Give that sweet baby kisses. The more you give them now, the longer they'll let you do it when they get older. :D

following the breadcrumbs back to AW
And don't forget the zerberts--you know, those farty-sounding things you blow onto their bellies? Yes, there's a name for them!

Parenthood is so bittersweet! Mourning the passing of babyhood, but delighting in the new things she does every day.

Happy birthday, Piper! And Tori, you're doing a wonderful job as a mom.

Happy Birthday Piper. I just cried and cried the day Tessa turned one. It is so bittersweet.
