My big, beautiful, bouncing, brilliant baby girl turned one whole year old yesterday. The three of us strolled through the neighborhood for hours, stopping for lunch and to get groceries to make lasagna and a chocolate cake. We talked and talked about everything, and crunched through the streets while the red leaves swirled overhead. It's hard to find words to describe my joy that she is in the world.
This morning she sleeps with her head on my lap; I type this one letter at a time with my left index finger while my right hand holds her little foot. It was a big weekend, with a big birthday party, and lots and lots of people, and grandparents visiting, and an apple festival, and a fancy lunch downtown, and lots of beautiful new things to play with. Today we're laying low; maybe a walk later to go get some rosemary-mint shampoo, and to take a ride on the swings. It's a gorgeous day here, with squirrels romping, and the smell of woodsmoke lingering, and this rosy, gorgeous, glowing October light filling the windows, which seems like the perfect present for my darling's first ever day of being one.
Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!
I actually got goosebumps, just now, I've been wishing for so long, so hard, so fiercely, for just this very thing to happen. Rather, had been wishing. Wish granted. Wonder of wonders.
Happy, happy birthday to one sweet little, wildly loved, most wonderful girl.

Molly
I can't believe she's already one! Congrats and happy birthday (not so) little one :)
Oh my goodness! How time flies! She was just a wee baby a short time ago! Happy birthday sweet Amelia ! You are so loved!
Hope to see some pics, I'm sure everything was beautiful. Enjoy the beautiful Fall day with your new one yr. old, I'm hoping for a long wonderful Fall myself. Also I wanted to thank you for the Chi Tea recipe, still waiting for my frother. And all the other recipes that you post, I think I will be without a kitchen for a while the way this renovation is going.It does help when you post things that you love and work I don't have time or money for failures in this temp kit, so thanks again!
Happy Birthday sweet Amelia!!
